Steele Canyon Golf Club - Canyon/Ranch

Steel Canyon lived up to its reputation. I had heard a lot of good things about this course but had never who played it. I enjoy this course completely very challenging but still fun.

The course has a nice layout and offers a pretty good challenge. We played Ranch and Meadow. Ranch has some nice elevation changes and meanders through Jamul Ranch with no houses on this nine. Meadow runs through part of the subdivision but is just as visually appealing. We all enjoyed the Meadow nine a little more. There are a few very challenging holes scattered throughout, but overall, the course is extremely playable with generous fairways and relatively large greens. One thing to note is there are a few forced carries that may be difficult for a beginning golfer. The Ranch had been aerated recently and the greens weren't very playable. Meadow was better, but still suffering from aeration of it's own. I look forward to playing here again once the greens have fully recovered.

Greens were recently aerated, but they are coming back in nicely. Course was in great condition and we had a blast.

Weather was so good that it made up for my so so round.

Decent course, greens rough due to aeration this month.

Thx to golfnow, found a $39 rate. What a bargain. Great course.

I went to play on a rainy day, I needed my golf fix and this course was offered at a great price. It was cart path only and this was a really long day of golf. This is one of very few course that I would play cart path only.

This is one of the most challenging courses I've played. You are required to make every golf shot possible. Dog legs right and left, Elevated tee shots, hitting into elevation, thick roughs, soft bunkers, etc. You really have to think about your next shot and have good ball control to score well here. Highly recommended if your looking to challenge your game.

Probably the best course in San Diego. Recommend playing. Right now they are aerating the greens on Ranch course so I would recommend waiting a few weeks so you can play Ranch for your back 9

We played the Canyon and Ranch nines. The course was in great shape and it posed many challenges. You really have to have a plan when hitting approach shots to the greens. Greens were fast and hard so holding the green was nearly impossible. We got a great value through Golf Now!!!

I hope your hitting em' straight because this course will punish you for errant tee shots, There aren't any adjacent fairways to hit from. The fairways are perfect (if you get to hit from them) and the greens are true. If your having a bad round just grab a drink from the cart girl and enjoy the views.

The Meadow nine had punched and filled greens. Normally a facility would inform you of these conditions prior to play. We were not. We felt the the cost of playing here was far too great given these conditions. We did not enjoy this HALF of our round.

Booked a round at Steele Canyon, nothing on Golfnow indicated that the greens were aerated. Got to the course and after we paid were told that the back 9 was punched a week ago but that it wasn't too bad. It was bad. Large holes still present and very sandy. Not really worth trying to putt on. We all get the need to do maintenance but how about a discount. $80 is a bit steep for the back 9 greens being nearly unplayable.

Got a $ 39 tee time on golf now. ourse was in great shape. Exceeded my expectations.

Played badly and still enjoyed it, challenging course for me but no gimmicks great layout.

Lush fairways, natural setting

Fantastic pace of play at 8:30am, the ranch course was in perfect shape with very true rolling fast greens.
Meadows was our back 9 and besides a few burned out areas was also in great shape.
Greens on both tracks proved to be very difficult to hold but ran very true and smooth.
Total pace of play was under 4hrs which for a course of this caliber is near impossible to find in San Diego.
I will be keeping my eye out for deals at Steele weekly.

Course is in good condition for this time of the year. Winter overgrowth is in play but manageable. Fun course if you have never played it. Easy drive from downtown.

Normally great. Not that busy. 4 hour round would be easy. The starter hurried me to the tee saying i was late when in fact i was right on time. So i was already a bit edgy, come to find out they had 2 tournaments that they said nothing about. We were 3 groups deep waiting on each tee box. We had a 130 tee time and at dark at 615 were only able to complete 14 holes. And that was not even wanting to play anymore bc we had to wait so long. I was so upset i almost went in to proshop to get my money back and i have never done that before. Wont be going back there again until the nasty taste of yesterday fades away.

Played as a threesome in February. Weather was a bit cool; course was in great shape. Lots of elevation change testing your club selection. Greens were in excellent shape and ran true. Played Canyon/Ranch and backside was more challenging. A fun course to play.

The course offers three different nines but the rotation is determined by the time of day.
Each of the nines has it's own unique character:
Canyon - the most difficult of the three. Very hilly with challenging par 3's.
Ranch - begins and ends with lots of elevation changes but the middle holes are in the flatlands.
Meadow - works it's way in and out of a housing development.
Relatively flat and in my mind the easiest of the three.
The greens were good but the fairways need water. Excellent practice facility onsite.
