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.

Beautiful but tough course
The views were stunning but it was quite a challenge. Loved all the multi level holes. There was no starter and I had to talk to the cart guys to figure out where to go but overall a really good experience.

Challenging and fun, great value
The greens were in excellent shape. The elevations were fun and several holes were very challenging. Beginners will lose balls. Staff was friendly and amenities were great. Public welcome, family atmosphere in the clubhouse. One of my new favorites!

Great Course
Overall course is great! Beautiful views, nice layout. Golf maintenance guys are doing a great job. For the rate, I would expect a little more help from cart staff. 120 bucks for me to have lug my clubs to and from my truck. Got to course with 3 guys on their phones and back from my round to 1 guy on his phone. Overall would go back ar a cheaper rate.
