Steele Canyon Golf Club - Canyon/Ranch

Obviously two years without rain and mandatory water restrictions have had some impact but what a fun course to play. Highly recommended.

Very challenging and fun course to play when you are on top of your game! It has three nine hole courses: Ranch, Canyon & Meadow. All of them are fun and very scenic (Canyon & Ranch are my favorite 18 hole combination). There is lots of undulation and many elevated tee boxes. This is a very beautiful area of El Cajon/ Jamul in southeast San Diego off the 94 freeway (about a half hour drive from downtown/ Lindbergh Field airport).

I wanted to mention one of the best parts of my round was the Happy Hour specials that are available from 3pm to close EVERY DAY! All draft pints were only $3! They have $3 Stone IPA, Coronado Brewing Co. and Goose Island amongst the typical domestics. Also, your first pitcher was only $10 (might be limited to domestics). Pretty hard to beat that anywhere else! Didn't try the appetizer specials but the bartender mentioned sliders, quesadillas, wings, etc. I will most definitely be back soon to try the appetizers and recap the round with my buddies. All the staff was friendly and accommodating from the pro shop, starter, marshall, cart girl, and the bartender. I highly recommend Steele Canyon!

Both 9's were in great shape. Nice, fast greens in great condition. Enjoyable for both low and high handicappers. Did enjoy the Ranch nine more than the Meadow as Meadow was in a more residential area. Would play Steele Canyon again.

Very friendly. Obviously they need water. Enjoyed the ranch 9 more then canyon 9. I don't get the excessive penalties that you pay if you are a non resident . Not just this course, but every course just sticks it to you. Where does all that extra money go???

Course probably used to be really nice but needs water and lawn care

Too many players out there acting like pros shooting yardage at every hole, then swinging for triple

Disappointed , would only play if I could get a good rate and on then if all the pros speed up there play

Not s beginners course, tough layout if you don't hit it straight,

After finishing we were sorry that our vacation was ending and that we live clear across the continent. We would love to play this course many times. There were plenty of tees to choose from, elevated tees, long and short par 3's and great vistas. The conditions were good and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend.

Course was in excellent shape, staff was friendly and greens were running at 11. My game at a 10.5 index didn't hold up to the 135 slope with the distance and wind. Nevertheless it was a fun outing and the couple we were paired with were very nice. I would certainly recommend playing Steele Canyon

Very friendly staff, got us off 20 min early. Marshall got a foursome to let us play through and after that finished our round in four hours. Greens in great shape, fairways suffering from the drought, but still in fair shape.

We had nobody in front and nod
Body in back of us. The course was in wonderfull condition, got off on time and played a sub 4 hour round.

Steele canyon is among the most beautiful and yet challenging courses in San Diego County. Breathtaking changes in elevation keep you entertained. The course was in great shape and the greens are FAST. Pace of play was quick and the staff was pleasant and helpful. We can't wait to play again. See you next week.

Very interesting course . Three nines are all playable and very enjoyable. Players of all ability will enjoy the test of golf. With five sets of tee boxes all can find a level of comfort. Greens are challenging and very fast.

For the money, this is the best course in San Diego. Scenic tee boxes, great views!

Great course for the money, signature hole off a 100' cliff, mountain background

I have lived in San Diego for 4 years and I am still having a hard time getting used to paying high green fees for average at best courses. I'm from the northwest and you can get so much more for your money up there. Way too many times have I checked out beautiful pics of courses and when I arrive the conditions are mediocre. Steele canyon is another example of that.

This excellent course takes target golf to the next level

Not a long course but danger lurks keep your putts around 29 and your total score should be good.

The course is a great challenge and a diverse layout. It is more fun the more times you play it. They did punch Meadow in February so it is like a Chinese Checkerboard but I'm sure it will be excellent once it seeds.

Fantastic course. My buddies and I try to get out every other Monday morning close to sunrise to play. It's either Sycuan or Steele. You can't go wrong with either. Lately we've been playing Steele more because of the rate. It's an unbelievable value. Canyon plays harder for me but with three 9's, it is definitely a great place for all abilities.

The guys in the pro shop, marshals and the starters are always accommodating.

Weekends can get crazy. I played for the first time in the afternoon this past Sunday. Never again. It was a bloodbath. I was late for my time and there were no carts so I was kindly driven to the second hole by the marshal to meet the rest of the players in my time slot.

Slow day. We waited at every hole for 15 minutes not because people were playing slow just from being backed up by 2 groups at each tee box. No exaggeration. I stopped at the turn and called it a day.

Still love the course, but you'll never catch me there on a Sunday again.

Reminder to all...SC can be tough so tee it up at the correct box for your level of play.

Love the course but 5 1/2 hrs to play 18 not on. ,! Where is your Marshall?

Played it many times and still like it the best of any southern Cal courses. A real challenge
