Steele Canyon Golf Club - Canyon/Ranch

Greens were very good. Tee boxes were really beat up and uneven. Fairways were okay. Course conditions are about what you’d expect at a municipal course. But layout is super fun and greens are great.

I like Steele Canyon. The grounds need to be watered more but it’s July. I had a good time today and the people working there were friendly.

Great course! Really challenging! We played Ranch/Vineyard unfortunately Canyon was closed.

Course overall was good, but I had bad experience with the starter (Around 60s, white male).

The starter was micro managing everything at first, which didn't bother me.

However, after I was on practice greens waiting for my tee time and headed back to the cart, he said "you guys weren't ready, so I let other group (who had tee time after ours) tee off first."

I could not believe he did not ask us first if we are ready AND let the group with later tee time to tee off without our permission. Starter's bad etiquette has gotten me furious.

Besides the starter's behavior, course was in good condition.

Challenging corse and the greens really roll true.

Kind of dry in some fairways. We be back

$90 to play and no GPS? Unacceptable when so many courses have it. 5 hours to get around? I"m sorry but I won't be returning. Course is good enough but 5 hours for the round even after calling a Marshal out twice only to be told pace was OK??

My wife and I signed up for golf at 7:27 AM, but didn't get to tee off until 7:35 AM. We were paired up with another couple and there was a foursome in front of us that we could see, with no group ahead of them in sight. About half way through the front 9, the course Marshall stop us and said that we were playing slow. About a hole and a half slow to be exact. We agreed to play faster.

Within the next two holes, we caught up to the group in front and couldn't go any faster. The Marshall was actively following our group and we saw him a few more times watching us. To be honest, we never felt like we were playing slow but definitely sped up. It made the round more pressure filled and not enjoyable.

The most irritable thing at the end was that when we finished, it was 12 noon. That means our round took less than 4 and a half hours. Because we caught up to the group in front of us, there was no way to finish any faster. If you ask anyone who plays golf, a 4 and a half hour round is widely acceptable. The amount of pressure put on only our group to play faster was very unnecessary.

Price wise in San Diego area, it is on the high side. BUT for the beauty of the course and hiw the course is maintained, its well worth the price. If you are playing in the summertime, be sure to bring plenty of water. It gets hot in thia area. BRING extra balls, as you would probanly lose a few if not familiar with the course layout. There are also environmentally protected areas where your ball can not be retrieved. This couse consist of 3, 9 holes courses. Make sure to include Canyon in your choice, since, personally i think this is the best of the 3.

Beautiful course but too much for my skill level. Trouble all over. If you are a 15 or less then you will love it. If you are over 15 then bring plenty of balls. Overall though I will play again once my game improves.

Variety of course layout always makes this an interesting place to play.

Staff members were very helpful and mindful of social distancing and wearing masks. The day was great with perfect pace of play; the course in terrific shape. They even had a service cart out on the course. Play before everyone catches on again!

This was my first time playing Steele Canyon and I drove down from North county and paid $72. I had a 6am tee time. I showed up to check in, was given my receipt and told to check in with he starter. There was no starter! I just grabbed a cart and loaded up. I was not told which of the 2 nines I was playing. I asked another golfer where the first tee was and he kindly took me to the tee box. Had no idea if it was the right nine I was supposed to play. The sprinklers were still running on the tee boxes and in the fairways. A single on the tee box said he was heading to hole 2. The twosome in front of me just went and dropped balls in the fairway as they didn't want to wait. The sprinklers shut off and I go to the tee box. Its a dogleg right and I have no idea what's beyond my sightline. Can I cut the corner? Is there trouble? Since no GPS or yardage book I have no idea. There are several holes like this. The signage is poor too. I went the wrong way on several holes! Take the concrete or the dirt path??

It got to the point where I was just put off by the whole experience and I actually left after 5 holes, just drove in. When I got in I asked the starter where to leave the cart, he said "just down there". What does that mean?

I can't complain about the conditions on the 5 holes I played. Good, but not great. I'd rather play Maderas or RB Inn in my neighborhood.

It was the overall impression of the staff and the setup. I will not be back and do not recommend.
