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.

Steele Canyon
The course is in excellent shape. The fairways, greens and tee boxes were very playable. It's an interesting layout, very challenging in club selection for players who don't know the course because of changes in elevation. The greens are true, a little slower than I am used to.

Great venue
Beautiful course extremely challenging back tees. Get yardage book etc as I hit wonderful drives but due to course idiosyncrasies put them in hidden canyons etc. needed a lot more info than usual on a course. Some fairways tough due to summer golf in southwest . Greens not easier to read. Overall 4.4 stars.
