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 layout
I thought the course layout used the natural terain very well. I also rhought the greens were excellent. ...very fast and true.would play again when I am in the area ... only suggestion is the cost of rental clubs was wa to high in my opinion
Perfect Day!
This was my first time golfing at Steele Canyon, and it was amazing. It was a belated birthday present for my mom, and we had a wonderful day. The course was filled with breathtaking views, and the weather was superb. The course is challenging, but not overwhelming at all. I was amazed at the high quality of every hole, and just the overall maintenance of the facility. Hands down, the nicest course I have played!
Great Experience
My son Andy and I had a great day as always whenever we play at Steele Canyon. It is challenging and a lot of fun. Canyon/Ranch seems to be our favorite 18 holes.
Only negative is that there is no "on course marshal" to monitor slow players. Can't believe guys still "mark" one-footers instead of holing out.
Will be back again soon.
P.S. Management should consider adding steps to greens which don't have any right now. That would be much easier for senior players.
Very challenging
Played canyon and ranch. Greens were quick and the course was very challenging. Change in elevation created conditions for a long day but the picturesque views quickly erased the ill thoughts of not scoring well. Food was excellent and the cart girl was timely. The only set back was that the cart attendants were chatting at the cart barn when we finished our round creating needless walking back up to the bar. Overall a great day and reasonable round at a discounted cost
Great time!
I took my Dad to play here last week while he was visiting us. We had a great time! The course was in great shape. The members are very friendly as well, Steele Canyon will def be a place we return when my Dad comes into town!
One of the better courses in San Diego
first time playing here. Staff was very friendly right from the beginning.
Driving range was on matts which I really don't like, especially when there is plenty of grass to hit on.
Pretty good chipping area. The chippy no green was I excellent condition so I didn't need to pack up and move to the putting green to warm up.
Course plays tough for a first timer. Played with a couple of locals so that was helpful.
Tee to green condition was excellent. Around the tee boxes was a little ragged. But that's nitpicking.
Thought the $41 deal was perfect. I'll play often for that price.
Beautiful course
Staff seems unhappy with their job. This course is beautiful but needs some attention on the greens.
first time long time
Played this course many times and most courses in San diego. You can't beat the bang for your buck factor. Always a great experience. These people know how to run a golf course.
Great challenging course
As always Steele Canyon is a great course that challenges all levels. Conditions are great, greens are fast and true with challenging pin placement.
favorite course
This has become our main once a month course. Played it many times and still so enjoyable.
Pretty surroundings but difficult greens to read and even with the guide, we had difficulty hitting the ball where we needed to.
Might play again but not for awhile. Canyons course was tough. Did better on the 2nd 9 - Ranch.
First time unimpressed
I guess this used to be a great course.....but it shows much age and use without much care in maintaining it. Just plain shabby overall. Fairways OK but hard pan in too many areas. Greens hard and spotty. I hope they can turn it around and some day I will try it again.
Great experience
This is a superb course. Great views of surrounding area too. Would definitely play Steele Canyon again.
Décevant
je m'attendais à plus pour 120$...... Si vous pouvez pour moins peut-être
Very fun and challenging course!
Very fun and challenging course to play. Wish it was a little closer, I'd play there all the time.

New to the game what a beautiful place to play thank you to the staff
Best course for the money
Great course, great food, greens and fairways in excellent shape
Jamul's Hidden Jewel
This course is amazing! Anytime it is featured on golf now for under $80 I try to book a tee time. The greens are great and the course is well manicured. The elevation holes on canyon are fun and challenging...if you get a chance to play Steele Canyon don't miss the opportunity...you won't be disappointed!
This course is always in great condition!
Any of the 3 nine hole courses here are always nicely kept and in great condition. We usually play Canyon/Ranch but it was nice to play Ranch/Meadow for a change. We played under a threat of rain but had only a few sprinkles. As a result of the possible weather we had an empty course and never saw anyone either ahead or behind us. We finished in four hours without hurrying at all. A delicious lunch afterwards capped off a very nice day!
