Dos Osos Golf Club

I’m in San Diego for a memorial service. Thought I could mentally unwind by playing a late round of golf. Found this deal $30 for 18 holes with a cart. It’s exactly what I needed so I thought. as soon as I arrived I certainly became aware of a bait and switch. The pictures that I saw online were not the course that I encountered. Perhaps they were airbrushed or maybe from another decade. Struggle to find any thing I would call a fair way. It was primarily dirt rocks weeds and maybe some type of grass. The water on water holes was green and stagnant. It’s evident that very little TLC has been spent on this course.Well I paid for 18 holes I could only stomach nine holes. It was that unenjoyable. Would not recommend this to anyone. Pay another $30 and go play at singing Hills or some other course that is well known.

Ownership has let this course go from fairly nice to thoroughly dismal. Bunkers are nothing more than dirt and weeds. Not a grain of sand to be found. Fairways resemble a cow pasture and lack of any resemblance of a starter or Marshall caused an enormous back up. Course in its current condition is not worthy of a 6 hour round.

I’ve played this course many time over several years and I’ve never seen it in this bad a shape. The fairways are patchy with dirt. The rough is uncut or cared for. The tee boxes and greens are in need of attention. I hope Troon brings the standard up significantly in the near future.

Eagle Crest, once in fairly good condition, is now in horrible condition! No sand in bunkers. Grass is long and United in many places. Gophers have taken over! Nothing smooth about fairways or greens! Way overpriced for a course in this poor condition. Will not be returning! One star is being generous! Very sad to see this course become nearly ungolfable!

Course is rough, lots of different grasses and the greens were just plugged and sanded. However, for the price it’s still a good golf value.

I was looking forward to playing golf since its been a while, the first tee was a good drive,went to where I thought it would be, grass was so thick and weeds all over. The grass in the fairways to thick to even see your ball. As I continued on it got worse I lost a lot of golf balls that day, only because it was poorly maintained.I don't think I will ever play it again until they at least give it a good haircut...very disappointed!!!

I can recommend the course for the price, but there are some things to know before you play.

I played the blue tees, and most of the tee boxes were in rough shape. Some hadn't been mowed in some time, and most were full of slopes and holes making it difficult to find a good place to tee up. Some of the fairways have large bald spots with hard dirt, and others have 6" deep clover in what should be the first cut of rough. (Good luck finding your ball.) Some of the sand traps are in need of repair and new sand. Greens were okay, but a bit slow paced for me.

The layout is pretty good, and the course has potential, but it's just not quite in the shape it should be. If you don't mind these maintenance issues, enjoy.

Course has great potential but I lost more balls in fair play (not hit out of boundaries / off course fairways) due to extremely unkept greens / rough / fairway conditions. This has not happened since Cottonwood Lakes! Lol. Staff was nice. Played through a dead cart on 11, I believe so maybe they have staffing shortages.

Hope to play after grounds are landscaped extensively because course vistas are amazing.

Gate code should be texted / emailed with gate code for residential neighborhood access or at least notified to call day of tee time.

Enjoyed playing this course you get what you pay for with the fairway fans greens for the most part. Staff is really friendly. Just know if you have a rider there is a 20 dollar fee! Good job overall.

The greens are in great condition, but overall the course was in poor condition. The rough is overgrown with weeds that made it easy to lose a ball that wasn't that far off the fairway. The fairways and green aprons needed mowing badly.

I like this course but it is not being maintained. Tee boxes are overgrown and rundown. You cannot tell the fairway from the rough. In some places the rough was over 3 feet.

It's not what it used to be.

Very friendly stall great course layout, need attention to course maintenance lots of clumps, of grass, weeds, and bare dirt spots, bunkers were hard as dirt car patch with grass and weeds growing in them. With some TLC this could be a 4 to 5 star place to play.

Sincerely,

This course could be a really pretty course with just a bit of simple maintenance to the fairways. They clearly hadn't been cut for some time. That said, the greens were excellent. Both true and holding. The layout is interesting and needs some precision in places. Shop staff were friendly and on hand. Practice green was also great quality and representative of the course greens.

This course desperately needs better landscaping, even hitting off the tee boxes and fairways was sporty.

The fairways were in bad shape, but the greens were ok..

The setting for this course is scenic and with a redo of fairways, this could be a great course.
