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.

Really fun track

The course lay out is a lot of fun, challenging at some points without being brutal. Really nice views of desert mountains in east county San Diego and the staff were all very friendly. Good use of hilly land with some big downhills that you can go for it on. Only real complaint was that the greens had a lot of wear and tear at points looking completely pock marked. Might just be that it’s late in the summer, but If I paid $100+ like this course asks for on weekends, I would be annoyed. For the weekday twilight rate, it was great.

Good Layout, too expensive

Played Ranch and Vineyard for an early morning round. The course was definitely is worse condition than when. I played a couple years ago. Couple out the greens had patches, some parts of fairways were water logged and tee boxes were horrible. Definitely preferred the Ranch 9 as you are in the natural surrounding and not many houses unlike the vineyard side. Course is definitely challenging and take good precise ball placement to play well. Overall I enjoyed it for the challenge but for the price they need to make it in championship caliber condition like Gary Player intended. $150 was too much for what it was.

Fun course layout

I played Canyon and Ranch. Both layouts were fun and challenging. Pace of play was a little slow but beautiful weather and scenery made the wait not as bad. A little pricey for the value, but I will definitely play again.
