Par 71
Length 6781 yards
Slope 139
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.

Fun, Challenging, Beautiful Course

Course is beautiful and well maintained. Surprised after all the rains San Diego just got that the greens and paths weren’t soggy at all. Love the layout of the course with all the hills. It’s a three nines course. We played Canyon into Ranch. Front was just as interesting/cool the back. It has a challenging set up but so fun!

Incredibly Scenic & Fun

There are three beautiful & long 9 hole courses. This is the highest ranked course I have played but I am a Duffer. Wide fairways, lots of bunkers, rough that would swallow your ball, and 10.5 green speeds. I had a blast as the weather was perfect! I could play these courses everyday!

Pace of play

We went off with no groups 2 holes ahead of us. By hole 13 we were waiting on group ahead of us. For next 5 holes the wait got longer and two foursomes caught up to us. There were no groups ahead of the foursome ahead of us. By hole 17 we received a warning in our cart that we were behind pace by 20 minutes. The last hole took nearly 30 minutes to play. Only as we drove up to the green did we see a Marshall, who just waved. When I asked about the glacial pace of play, he said it was hot out and we were almost done with our round. What??

I really enjoyed playing this golf course, but this was a very disappointing. Marshall’s need to keep up pace of play.
