Dos Osos Golf Club

Eagle Crest used to be one of the better courses in San Diego. Sadly, those days are gone. The course is in pretty bad shape. Very spotty fairways, rough needs to be cut and greens were so slow and needed to be mowed. Luckily I was paired with 2 guys that were fun. Hopefully Troon can bring this place back to life.

This course needs a lot repair or just close. It’s in terrible condition. Staff is super nice though.

Cow Pasture golf at its finest. This used to be such a great course, but the last few years, it seems to have had less and less maintenance. The tee boxes were in terrible condition; the bunkers and traps were wildly variable, from a little sandy to no sand at all; and it is absolutely overrun with ground squirrels. The two saving graces were the friendliness of the staff and the conditions of greens - very good and fairly consistent. I don't plan to go back (at least for a couple of years and lots of good reviews).

Course was in ok condition. Four older guys were in front of my threesome. Despite waiting on every shot, they never let us pass. After 4 hours and completing 14 holes, I had to leave. No Marshall to be found. To take that long and not wave us up is ludicrous for the price. Tons of dirt patches in the fairway. Greens were slow but rolled ok. Some bumps on the back 5 I played. I will go again because I like the layout but I hope I don’t see those slow old regulars. No idea how slow they were

Course has potential to be one of the nicest courses in San Diego but is not maintained very well. Lot of squirrels and snake holes everywhere with sand pits not even being sand but more like concrete. Still had fun playing there but could use a lot of work but has some great views for sure!

This is a Hidden Gem I love the layout of this course it is very challenging beautiful scenery the greens are in great shape I definitely recommend playing this course I play this course all the time and I love it.

I played this course today with one of San Diego's Men's clubs. Every member of my foursome commented on how poor the fairways and tee boxes conditions were today. The tees are not level, no sanding of previous divots, fairways are not definable between the rough and bunkers are weed ridden and unraked. The owner obviously is not paying attention to her investment as it is going down the toilet! This course was previously fun and in good condition, but now the photos you see online are a clear misrepresentation. I actually had to ask a staff member in the grill if the owner knew what a greenskeeper is? The price of this course needs to come down to get the play up and hopefully the increased play at a lower rate will yield golfers who care and can rake the bunkers, because the ones being paid to do it are not!

As a whole, course condition pretty bad except for the greens. It’s really a case of you get what you pay for — lowest price in SD County. I’d like to see the course survive, but it needs a lot of work.

This course just needs a good once-over with the maintenance piece. The greens were much better than I expected. Bunkers need a bit of sand, but we’re better than expected. Tee boxes can be leveled. $50 on a Saturday isn’t bad.

Course was in very bad condition and the pace of play was excruciatingly slow.

The group ahead of us had 5 players from the 9th hole on. On top of that, one of the players would give mini lessons to a female golfer in the group. We waited each hole for them to get off the tee box and down the fairway

Save your money, not worth it. Tee boxes poor, fairways poor, greens average, no trash cans, no ball cleaners. Very few bunkers had sand. Needs a marshal to keep pace of play going.

Everything was a major disappointment. I'd not played this signature neighborhood HOA-owned course for a year, and then it was 'on the way back', or so I thought...

After years of neglect, I'd heard from homeowners that management had seen the error of their ways and was pursuing restorative care for this old gem. But I must report literally everything is suffering from long term neglect and this course is not long for this world.

Carts, fairways, greens, hazards, cart paths, and even the driving range all yell "this course is being ignored by the owners until they can sell it for homebuilding"!

Don't bother playing this course. If the weed-overgrown fairways don't disgust, the cart ride will dismember you!

Even though it’s poorly maintained, the putting greens are decent and fun to play on

Course is not being very well taken care. It’s a must to play winter rules. Greens are probably the slowest in North County. That being said played 18 holes at 4:15 pace. Paid $20 on GolfNow, so I got my moneys worth. I won’t go back out again for more than $20 unless they improve course conditions

Saw the reviews prior to booking a time, and decided to give it a go nonetheless. While there are some bare spots and rough areas in fairways, there is grass close by and it’s playable. Some bunkers were decent and others unkept, but that didn’t matter much. The rough is what it is, you ain’t supposed to be there, and get what’s deserved. Greens have plenty of decent grass, but are slower than most due to mow height.

We choose to not dig them out of the dirt and played lift/clean and place in fairways, rake and place in the bunkers. Burrowing animal hole issues can be played by rule and we had a couple of those. While not the Eagle Crest course we once had, it is still playable and inexpensive, we had a good time playing it.

As the thread title implies and as Stephen Stills once sung “Love the one your with”. It’s still golf and enjoyable if you make it that.
