Chula Vista Golf Course

The course was still in terrible shape. I play here maybe two times a year and the course conditions never get better. I would say I lost at 5-6 strokes due to horrendous lies in the fairways and around the greens. I wouldnt pay the $25 again to play here.

I really like the layout of the course but the condition of the fairways and greens is a shame. You can’t beat the value for senior citizen but I think a slightly higher fee for a decent course would be worth it. Close for a couple of weeks to allow the grass to grow and give the ground crew time to get the greens in shape. Make the course what it should be!

The most important feature of this course... The Staff at Chula Vista is always friendly, polite and helpful. I thoroughly enjoy playing this course.

The staff and volunteers do a good job but unfortunately the fairways were in EXTREMELY poor condition and there was not a single green where the ball wouldn’t bounced a at least a dozen times on a 10-15ft put.., there was plenty of times that we opted to move the balls while in the middle of the fairway just to avoid the dirt and damaging our clubs. I’ve played in the great majority of courses in San Diego County, and unfortunately compared to other courses within the same price range this course has been the worse so far.

The greens were a bit inconsistent. But the overall experience was good.

I really like this course. There are several fairways and greens in need of work but they will get it back in shape. it's not that bad if you take relief from a bad area. The crew is the best around. Friendly and helpful.

This use to be a premier course to play about 10 years ago. Course layout and maintenance up-keep was by far one of the best in San Diego County. Over the last few years though it has resembled a cow pasture. I had not played the course in over a year because of shape it was in. I played it recently knowing the condition because I got a "Hot Deal" for $10. I played als a single so I just was out just to hit a few balls. I would not have paid more. Fact of the matter I probably will not play again if $10 was on the table. It is sad to write this review because Chula Vista Municipal use to be a course that you would recommend others to play while in San Diego,

The greens were awful. They have spots of thicker heavier grass on the greens that would make the ball jump off line. The ball wouldn’t roll it bounced toward the hole. They took one Par 4 and cut it down to a par 3 so the overall par was down to a 72 when they proudly advertised about being the only course with a par 73. We did the first 6 holes in an hour (2 of us playing) the next 3 holes took an hour. The last 9 took 2 Hours and 15 minutes.

Fairways were terrible on the majority of holes with deadspots a plenty. Greens were terrible on every hole!

I called the course in advance to inquire about the greens conditions. I was told they were punched 6 weeks ago which made me believe they were in playable shape. The pro shop told me they were still a little bumpy but I still decided to play. This was quite an over exaggerated statement. The greens haven't been cut, rolled, or maintained whatsoever. It was the equivalent of growing weeds in your yard. There are large patches of a different type of growth on the greens making them virtually un-puttable and inconsistent.

This would be a fun course but incredibly disappointing at the current moment. Wish I had photos to show. What a bummer!

cost effective

long distance

difficult course

There are so difficult bunkers near green.

Challengable

I will play again.

This course is incredibly under-maintained. When I called the pro shop to inquire about the greens/course conditions, he said they aerated the greens 6 weeks ago. I believed this was ample time for the greens to come back and decided to play the course.

What a waste! The greens were overgrown, bumpy, and most certainly haven't been mowed in quite some time! The greens were totally recovered and the bumpiness was caused more by overgrowth than aeration holes. Several fairways were just as bad with dead spots everywhere. I wish I took photos for you all. What a bummer!

It appears that work is being done to improve course conditions.

Seems like they are in the process of preparing for long dry summer. Fairways were soaked in some areas and that kept me an extra club behind the hole in some parts; but some holes are looking like they should be in their best shape possible by the end of spring, others still need the hands of God. Tee boxes are pretty decent shape. Greens were okay, holding up in the least.

What happened to this course? What a mess. Fairways littered with huge areas of dirt, hardpan, and weeds. Greens were punched a month ago and still haven't come back. Worse yet, every green appears diseased. A LOT of kikuyu literally thriving on them as well. It's as if they're about to sell the property to developers. At least there was actual sand in the traps. Mid-May and it's in pathetic shape.
