The three-nine layout delivers dramatic elevation changes and stunning scenery that consistently impress golfers unfamiliar with San Diego's hilly terrain. Friendly staff and well-maintained greens that hold up even after heavy rains make this course a reliable, rewarding choice.

Type Semi-Private
Par 70
Length 6561 yards

Rating 71.8

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.

Great hidden gem of a course

This course was not bad, but it was not worth the green fees. Comparable to other muni course options with better greens for half the price. This course is tucked within million dollar homes and surrounded by mountains. There are (3) - 9 hole courses which I liked, but only 2 were options to be played at the time. It’s a pretty easy course if you can keep it on the fairway. I liked how almost every other tee box was elevated. Good views and scenery for those picturesque memorable golf photos. Might be tough for seniors or other players with mobility issues. Overall, I recommend to play at least once.

Course had lots of ravines, brush, water and hill top hazards as you hit from top of canyons. Made it very challenging!

This course would be excellent if it had GPS in the golf carts!

It has a little bit of everything. Hills, ravines, water, and can loose many balls if you can’t drive it 150 yards.

For the money I wish it had a GPS system in the golf carts, then I’d love to play it regularly.

Mr. Rousseau,

We are sorry your experience was less than satisfactory. There was a Marshall/Player Assistant on duty that afternoon, actually 2 when you started, but with 27 holes you may have missed them. If you are to have a similar experience in the future it is advised you call the golf shop to let them know what is going on so they can try and help remedy the situation. The phone # is listed on our scorecard which is placed on every cart. In addition, if our Starter had been made aware it was your first time visiting he has plenty of course guides that are complimentary to our guests. Again, we apologize you were not better looked after.

Not a good resort course - May work for members

Very disappointing . Without a guide, it was virtually impossible to play. Too many blind shots and unknown distances to hazards. Conditions were mediocre at best. The round took over five hours. There were no marshals.

Steel Canyon is a hidden gem

Steele Canyon is a hidden gem. Greats course with all kinds of elevation changes. Greens were in fantastic shape. Really fair layout. Just wish the fairways were a little better shape but its hard with the drought in San Diego. Would definitely play this course again .
