Steele Canyon Golf Club - Canyon/Vineyard
About
Steele Canyon Golf Club in Jamul offers three unique nines: Canyon, Vineyard, and Ranch. Gary Player designed all 27 holes, which are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The courses are considered some of the best golf in southern California. The Canyon/Vineyard combination starts with dramatic elevation changes and then transitions into the subtler nuances of the Vineyard nine. The hilly front nine demands accuracy and golfers should be prepared for some uneven lies. The Vineyard nine doesn't get any easier either with several water hazards and many holes that play directly into the prevailing winds. The Vineyard's sixth hole is one of Steele Canyon's hardest. This lengthy par 5 measures 582 yards from the back tees and requires a forced carry over a dry creek bed on your third shot.

Canyon 9 signature hole Photo submitted by RockinDoc on 10/05/2012
Nobody should ever come here
Unless you have 2 whole days to play 1 round, stay away. Pace of play is an abomination unto God. I’m currently 55 minutes into my round and waiting to tee off ON THE 3RD HOLE. And there’s still a group in front of me!!
Seriously. The layout is fine, the conditioning is shaggy, but it’s not worth the 6 hours required to play here.
Starter was so nice!
How often does the starter greet you and make your day better. At Steele canyon this guy was awesome. Even provided a yardage book. Great place to play!
Amazing layout and overall course design
Course has amazing layout and fabulous overall features. Could be better manicure on fairways and if so it would be a 5 star track
Perfectly fine course
Everything was pretty good except the price/conditions. For a similar price point and better conditions, I'd rather go to one of the sycuan courses. Many of the long time players I ran into lamented the same as the prices are a bit unreasonable. 5 stars if conditions improve or prices come down.
Canyon/Ranch Course has great features
Played Vineyard/Canyon previously and really liked it but Canyon/Ranch course was exceptional!
Great layout, challenging and picturesque, with several elevated tees and true, fast greens
Only negative ..the bunkers are not so well cared for.
Staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. Thoroughly recommend Steel Canyon
The course was in great shape, greens are a bit fast. Great course for ladies but I still found the course to be challenging, I'm still very new to golf. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, this being our first time at the course it was great to get some insight on how to play the holes.
Slow
1st nine took 3 hours. Played thru 14 to get a stipulated round. The course is interesting with lots of vistas and forced carries. Not a place for high handicappers. The staff was very friendly but forced too many people onto the course. Its a tough ask for first timers at the course and would be a better experience after getting to know it but with all the others in the region i would pick elsewhere if i happened to be here again.
BRING AN EXTRA TOWEL - Punched Sandy Greens
First time playing. Heard great things and decided to drive over an hour from North County to give it a shot. Smiling staff, warm welcome clubhouse, spacious practice area. All great initial impressions.
Once we headed out to the course on our squeaky suspension, bald tire, usb disconnected golf cart we were EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with the wet sandy punched greens. I loved the course layout, but would expect much more for $130.00. I recommend giving your patrons a heads up about green conditions prior to purchasing, AND GET SOME NEW GOLF CARTS!!!
The course condition was good, Tight lies on the fairways, which are not my friend. The greens were pristine and rolling fast and true. However, the pace of play was ridiculous at 2:50 for the front and overall at 5+ hrs. I know they want to stack and pack them, but please rethink the time intervals. There were 3 groups on the 3rd tee and it never got any better from that point onward.. Too long a round most likely will not result in return business,
Canyon 9 is Fantastic
Great layout and one hole more spectacular than the last! Worth every penny and a must to try the Canyon 9 hole track!
Not in great shape
Course layout is awesome, but the pace of play is ridiculous. People are waiting on the tee thinking they can reach the group in front of them 330 yards away, not possible for 99% of golfers. Greens are way too fast and pin placements are terrible. The fairways aren’t in great shape for almost being $100 course. Every lie is a tight lie going into the grain. Probably won’t come back again.
We are sorry you were not informed of the course conditions in advance of your reservation, it can be a challenge with online 3rd party reservations. Our website does list our maintenance dates, our staff tries to inform people over the phone, and we do have signs throughout the golf shop and starter booth, so by no means are we trying to deceive. Many people have commented how well the greens roll for being recently punched, a credit to our maintenance staff with their extra efforts after all these rainy days. New golf carts are on order, but it is still an item severely back-ordered from the pandemic. We hope you come visit again and are able to enjoy Steele Canyon in its entirety.
