Rating 73.1

Steele Canyon Golf Club is a 27-hole layout designed by Gary Player that is hailed as one of southern California's best courses. The holes are divided into three nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The Canyon, Ranch, and Vineyard nines each offer a different set of challenges. The Canyon/Ranch Course starts in an expansive canyon, climbs across dramatic elevation changes, and then wraps around an operating ranch. Free-roaming cattle wander all along the back nine. Although there are no blind shots, golfers will be faced with uneven lies and elevated greens. Steele Canyon's signature hole is the Ranch's par-4 third hole. The tee is perched 175 feet above the fairway and plays into the prevailing winds that blow from left to right. It is one of San Diego County's most memorable holes.

Weekend golf trip

We played the Canyon/Ranch courses. The views on both were fantastic. Took a little longer to play than anticipated but quite frankly, that was not a concern and we enjoyed the scenery. These courses are challenging but fun. The only criticism I have is the golf carts should be updated to have GPS. I would definitely recommend playing this course if you are in the area.

Beautiful course, slow play day

Not sure why but pace of play was painful and we ended up having to quit after 15 due to dinner commitment.

Course was fun and in good shape. Will give it another shot int the future

Play at your own risk !

Great course with many challenges and great opportunities to land and score ( risk and reward )

The best fairways and smooth fast rolling greens make the course is very challenging, love all the elevating T boxes and blind dogleg ( bring extra balls)

Thanks guys for the best day of golfing and special thanks to the starter with the course layout information !

A Tale of Two Nines

27 holes: Canyon - Ranch - Vineyard

Played Canyon with ultimate elevation changes and forced carries; and absolute beautiful test of golf.

No.1 on the Ranch, takes you down to the valley with a creek that cuts across the par 5s.

Great staff, bar and restaurant. The only downside was hitting off mats on the driving range.

Definitely a bargain and well worth the trip!!

Too expensive

It’s a nice course. But, it plays more like a $60-75 course. For $100+ it’s way too expensive. It could be worth $100+ if it was very well maintained. But, it’s not. Bunkers are hard, rough is very patchy, fairways are ok. Greens are nice though.

Nobody should ever come here

Unless you have 2 whole days to play 1 round, stay away. Pace of play is an abomination unto God. I’m currently 55 minutes into my round and waiting to tee off ON THE 3RD HOLE. And there’s still a group in front of me!!

Seriously. The layout is fine, the conditioning is shaggy, but it’s not worth the 6 hours required to play here.
