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
Steel Canyon is remodeling the clubhouse and therefore minimal facilities. The driving range was poor.
The course -Vinyard had very minimal grass in the fairways.& the Canyon course wasn't much better.
We had 6 players on our CA trip & played 4 courses.
All courses were great with the exception of Steel Canyon. We were very disappointed and will not play this course again.
Great day at Steele Canyon
Have played it before and have always had a great time
Slow play
4 1/2 hours for 15 holes! We had to leave and couldn’t finish round because of the slowness of play. It didn’t help having the beverage cart out on the course slowing down the play too. Like scenery and challenge of course but hard to get in a rhythm when having to wait to hit practically every shot.
Fun and Challenging Course
Enjoyed the design of Steele Canyon. The greens were in good shape and running about a 9, but the rest of the course conditions were poor. The staff was friendly and helpful. Glad we played the course, but wouldn't do it again until the conditions improve.
Layout and pace
Played in 4 hours. The layout is always good. The course is in good condition for this time of the year, grass on every fairway and no dirt spots- which is awesome. The starter does a great job juggling getting everyone out and spreading it out so no delays. I just wish people would fix their ball marks.
Canyon/Ranch
Most of the greens are excellent
Members are allowed to play. in 5 balls which was extremely slow
Club house bar and toilets are being renovated
Expensive so avoid for now
Awesome place but pace of play is not great.
Canyon course has a par5, par3, par5, par 3 back to back and the course literally can have 2-3 groups waiting on each other. Outside of those 4 holes, course speed/pace resume to normal average.
The staff is great. The course mid week is one of the best deals around with golf now. Mid week play is about 60% better for pace of place.
Horrible
Lady up front was very rude and was no help at all, being 10 minutes late to my tee time, which I’m sure it’s not the first time someone’s been late , yes it’s my fault and my responsibility to be there early or on time. But there’s no need for rude and terrible service. A game plan to work things out. Would only recommend this course to anyone if SHE WAS LET GO!! Not my fault you’re in your 40’s working in a golf shop with 20 year olds. I’ll be sure to let my tribe (viejas) to not deal with this course in the future
Fun Round But Slow!!!
We played at 11:30 on a weekend in San Diego and was anticipating a slow round. However, there were 2 fivesomes ahead of us and according to the marshal, they course allows fivesomes for members. This seemed ridiculous and you add this with the fact that it hot outside and it wasn't as enjoyable as it could've been.
The course itself was in great shape though and we played Canyon/Ranch. I would say it's a very fair course and would play again, as long as there isn't another fivesome ahead of us again!
