Steele Canyon Golf Club - Canyon/Ranch
About
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.

Canyon 9 signature hole Photo submitted by RockinDoc on 10/05/2012
Great experience!
What an incredible course! The course was in fantastic shape fairways were beautiful greens rolled true and were in incredible shape. The club house was immaculate the staff was very friendly and the views were majestic. If I lived in East County San Diego I would make this my home course without a doubt. It was simply the best experience of my five days of golf on my trip to San Diego.
A++++
Always are great time playing Steele Canyon. My buddy was alittle bit late and the starter worked with me to get us on in a timely manner.
Top notch course conditions
This course has the best greens and overall conditions of anywhere in the south I would put this course ahead of Sycuan. Pace of play was not great but if the slow group ahead of us would have let us through it would have been fine. I highly recommend this course.
Challenging but fun
First time playing and there are some unknown hole layouts that if knowing would play different. A bit pricey compared to others in area, but will come back.
Fantastic golf course! Great views and great lay out. Well worth the half hour drive from downtown.
Spectacular mountain course
We played Canyon/Vineyard on a Monday. Nice conditions. Canyon layout is much tougher but overall beautiful. You need to have some experience to score well. We’ll come back the next time visiting San Diego area.
Nice place
This course (did not play the vineyard)offers great views, plenty of challenge , whatever tee you choose. Conditions were very good. Players should do a better job of repairing ball marks. Greens were quicker that an any place I've been to recently. Great course for the money.
Challenging layout
Course was in great condition being the greens had been punched within the month, hey we're rolling at 9.5 and it seemed to be pretty accurate.
Must be prepared for several blind shots if it's your first time playing. I played a hole and didn't realize it had a spit fairway, great hole just didn't have direction.
Will definitely play it agin when I'm in SanDiego!
Great Course
This is one of my favorite courses in San Diego. The course is always in great shape and the greens run true. Wish I could get a Hot Deal on this course every weekend.
Loved it!
Great people, great scenery, greens were tip top! Had a blast. Highly recommend
Top notch course conditions
This course is arguably in the best shape of any daily fee course in the San Diego area. By far the best greens I have played on in recent memory. Maybe because it was labor day, but I played a full 18 holes in under 3 hours. The whole experience was excellent. Wish I could play here all the time!
Great views
Nice course. Little tough for average golfers because of several long carries
.Greens good and okay fairways. long rough. Would definitely play again
Target Golf
Pretty tough course. Hit em straight! Very fun and challenging for the weekend golfer like myself. Course was in great shape. Only input is the signage. Holes seemed difficult to find on a few as there were not many signs letting you know where your next hole was till you passed it. Other than that, great track. I will be back.
Great Saturday
Got a great hot deal rate for $35 for a 12:51pm tee time. Got sent off as a twosome as the the starter was nice enough to have us play the nines in a different order to avoid a five hour round. We were able to play under 3 and a half hours. Course was pretty good shape, starting to get baked out a bit which is expected in August. Greens were great and actually a little slow which is helps considering some of the slopes on the green. Overall a great afternoon with no complaints.
Great value for your money, quality course
The course has three nines and the two I played were very well maintained. A variety of holes with a few challenging ones on each nine. Greens were in very good shape. Played in just over three and a half hours.
