Steele Canyon Golf Club - Canyon/Ranch

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.

I haven’t played here in over 6 years. It was a challenging golf course with a great layout. The greens were in good shape, but a little fast. I look forward in coming back and would recommend to family and friends.

Great layout and location as the course cuts through winding ravines. The greens were immaculate, small in some cases but readable. The fairways were less exciting and needed some care. Looks like they were tired and thirsty. We decided to play winter rules as the fairway was barren dirt everywhere.

We played 36 holes so we experienced all 3 9-hole courses and were pleasantly surprised by the conditions. The fairways were a bit spotty, but the greens were in great shape and very fast. Many of the holes had significant carries off the tee, so choose your tees wisely. The Canyon and Ranch nines were the most enjoyable compared to the Vineland nine. Many of the holes were quite narrow, so your driver will spend a lot of time in the bag!

Very nice, enjoyed the course and had a wonderful time, it rained the first few holes so course was wet, but greens were great!

Greens are fast and true. First time in 12 years playing this course. Love the layout. Once you get used to the speed of the greens, good putts are rewarded.

Nice views, nice fairways and nice greens. Greens in great condition but pretty fast. One of the better courses in San Diego.

GREAT course, layout, co editions and staff. Fell in lo w with course in 2005, aged all 3 nines many, many times. The course offers everything, excellent greens, elevation changes, risk rewards and they ever faithful service cart. I enjoyed the course so much have been a member foe 4 years now, if you think I am biased....well may e bit take ride out and play the course and your too will be impressed.

Steele Canyon has a variety of elevation changes on each 9 holes. The greens are extremely fast and roll true for those players that like fast greens. All of the 9’s offer 5 sets of tee boxes for all skill levels. I would recommend this as a must play..

Gary Player did such a great job with this design! I love the well manicured fairways and the beautiful holes, bunkers and greens. Three different 9-hole layouts make for a fun and always exciting experience at Steele Canyon. I recommend it to all my friends.

Greens are very nice and fast. Some amazing tee shots over ravines with great views. Am interesting drive in the cart.

Could have a GPS that would show the hole yardage and the layout of the hole. Would definitely like to play it again.
