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
Course will test you
Greens are fast and tricky, ruff eats your ball, great layout fitting into hills and canyons. A real challenge but a lot of fun. Bring a lot of balls because out is lost.
Great course
Great course and really great marshal. They really make sure that the play of game is going very smooth. This course is amazing to play.
Rude staff
Overall nice course but had an issue with some of the staff, will not play there again because of that.
Love this course
This course is very challenging, yet fun to play. Sometimes the Marshalls will push you to play faster when there is no one close behind you. That was bad. Other than that great course!
Great Golf Course
This is a great view golf course. The fairway and green are in great shape. I would golf here again.
I like there par 3
The golf course was in good condition
I definitely will play again.. its a challenging course.
What I like is that they have 3 diffrent 9 hole course
Its a must play course
Course layout was an excellent test of golf.
The beginning was very slow, but what a great time
played at 6:24am....no one in front or behind us. twosome played in 3hours and 20 minutes and we took our time. grat time
we paid $60 through golf now and its worth every penny for this course. scenic, challenging, views and in great shape. would recommend to anyone
Love this place
Great track, greens still a little rough from being punched on the canyon course but for $39.00 its not bad at all. At least they drop the rates when the green are punched unlike other places that charge full price even when the greens look like the beach.
Beautiful course, amazing greens, great variety of shots!
This course not only has incredible scenery but is very fun and exciting. It is challenging yet extremely enjoyable. The greens were perfection and the fairways played extremely good too. I had no complaints.
Amazing for the price.
The only thing that would bring this course down for me is that I was stuck behind one slow group, which usually doesn't happen here. I would recommend this course to anyone who is ready to have a fun round because the tee boxes are amazing and normally pace of play is quick.
Target golf
Fun course, but you Must hit straight. A lot of blind tees, did not like that. On some holes the homes are really close. I liked how the course did not feel crowded. Over all good experience, even though I lost balls off the tees that where struck well.
Course has some very fun tee positions and challenging holes.
$40.00 for a weekend with cart was great. The staff was very attentive and on the ball. The course is in very nice shape and some of the tee positions are a lot of fun (parachute is awesome). Greens were in very good condition and rolled moderately fast and true. Only complaints - distance markings are so/so, several tee shots need local knowledge to take advantage of risk/reward, pin markings were not consistent (all black flags and the pins were up, back, middle). Greens are tricky to read and down hill, down grain makes for a tough putt. Slow start but after playing through 2 groups - it was wide open. Finished in 3 hours 10 minutes.
Fun track
I've played this course twice in the last 3 weeks. Great condition, challenging and a lot of fun.
This course was challenging and has scenic views.
We had a great time golfing Steele Canyon. The staff was exceptional, which gave our round of golf that extra pleasurable memory. We will definitely be back for more.
This is always a challenge.
This is one of my favorite courses in San Diego County. It's always in great shape! The greens are very true! The scenery is beautiful.
The restaurant has something for everyone and the staff is amazing!
green even in the summer heat
I played this course four times this year.The last on 9/10/2013.
Greens are beautiful and roll true,The fairways lush and green.
love hole lay outs and elevation changes.
Great course, great value, fast rounds
Just shot an 82 (my best score here) on canyon & meadows. Paid $29 for a 2:30p tee time, which is awesome for a couse of this quality. It's was just me & my boy who played & while on the course the Marshall came & politely helped us get ahead of a foursome. Finished in 3 hours, which is not out of he norm here. This course is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful & the course will test your skills for sure! You can lose a dozen balls if ur not striking it good or you can score with good shots. Go play!
Fun Course
Greens had been aerated 1-2 before, but ran smooth. Subtle breaks made greens tough to read. Fairways are generous, rough not punishing. Most holes have up/down to varying degrees. Some elevated tees with carries over unplayable areas.
Very fun course
This course is a good one. Many different holes and shots are required of you on this course and the grounds are very well maintained with consistent green speeds. Overall, not too long of a course and lots of fun tee shots that turn both ways and have varying elevation changes.
