About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 71
Length 6781 yards
Slope 138
Rating 73.5

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.

Amazing course with gorgeous nature canyon setting

Loved my day at this course! Staff was very friendly, played early in the morning and was able to get on solo with my booking and not paired up with another group. Was able to play all 27 holes, Canyon 9 was my favorite, but each 9 has its own unique setting, the Vineyard 9 crosses through a real vineyard that was neat as well. 10/10 would recommend.

tough track

Greens were excellent as were the boxes and fairways. I knew going into it that it was a tough track, and that proved to be true. Will still go back for the challenge.

Super Friendly Staff, Excellent Amenities, Sub-par Course

The good: super friendly Staff at all areas of the course. Excellent restaurant. Excellent course views. Three nines to choose from. Visually impressive.

Course is over-priced for the course conditions. Despite plenty of rain, fairways had too many spotty conditions. Course runs fast making fairways and greens play much smaller than they actually are.

Closer to a municipal than a club course.

Great Track

One of my favorite courses in San Diego. Some spectacular holes with large elevation changes, especially on the Canyon course. Challenging but fair, and tight in spots, so keeping the ball in play is paramount. Pricey unless you can get a Golf Now Hot Deal.

Great early March outing

My wife had an enjoyable 4 hour round on the Canyon/Vineyard nines. Greens and tee boxes in the best shape. Fairways and rough had some thin areas.
