Steele Canyon Golf Club - Canyon/Vineyard

Beautiful day on the links. Played Ranch & Vineyard. I'm not sure you can get the Canyon 9 thru GOLFNOW which is supposedly the most popular...but is also the most crowded. Our foursome let a twosome play thru on hole 4 and we did not see another group all day. Played at our own pace. Course in great condition. Well worth the $.

I picked a very windy day, but even without the wind this would be a challenging course. Enjoyed it though, and really liked the quick greens. Fun course and pace of play was great.

Very well maintained course. Located in the mountains and vineyards of Jamul. Amazing views while playing of the desert area.

Canyon 9 is the best, very scenic. Tee boxes excellent, fairways ok to good, greens have a lot of ball marks, otherwise ok for a public course. We are use to private course conditions. Truth is the course superintendent did a good job, but public play golfers don't fix ball marks and don't rake traps. Golf now afternoon rate was $59 with cart versus the $99 non-resident rake rate. Very female friendly course, and a good layout for men as well. If you don't mind ball marks and the occasional need to rake the trap and then re-drop, you'll find it scenic and enjoyable.

Flew across the country & scheduled Steele Canyon blindly. Rental clubs were pretty bad, staff made me leave my AMEX card as collateral for clubs ...like I wanted them! Had to work my way into a threesome...no help from staff. Canyon course was nice, Ranch course was completely different and ok. Canyon had a few impossible shots on it that could be reworked. Had fun, glad I got half price thru Golfnow....that is what it was truly worth. If you are going to charge $90-100 for no residents, then kick it up a notch!

Enjoyed it immensely, would play again

Chose this course based on previous GN positive reviews and we weren't disappointed. We could have got a cheaper fee if we'd gone for a Hot Deal but preferred an earlier teetime but even then the cost was very reasonable.

Staff all very friendly and accommodating. We arrived just as a team 4 Ball Scramble was going out so a little concerned the POP would be poor but after a great breakfast, the kitchen opening early for us, we had a few balls in the range and the the starter got us out early as well. No sign of the team event so we moved really quickly.

Played Canyon and Vine. I played the Blacks which gave a good test, some tight tee shots but also some where you can let rip. My wife played the golds with the odd red when there were big carries. The really tricky part about this course is the speed and undulations of the greens. They were mega quick and a couple of pin positions were in quite severe positions with approach putts and chips looking good at one stage and then continuing off the green and in a couple of cases down the banks into the ravines never to be seen again!

Overall opinion was we enjoyed the whole experience of Steel Canyon and would play again if we are back in the San Diego area. Thanks for a great day.

The starter was very friendly and put us out an hour before our scheduled tee time, in front of a corporate outing group. He gave us a yardage book and some quick course instruction before we teed off. Great Service!! We played the Canyon and Ranch courses and both were in good condition. We played the back tees making the courses very challenging. It was difficult to find the proper tees on some of the holes. Some of the holes had blind tee shots, making it a guessing game off the tee. We enjoyed our round and look forward to playing here again, now that we have a working knowledge of the course

Canyon course layout great, Meadow not so much. Maybe bad luck that I was at course on some sort of maintainance day but greens keepers everywhere. Not only that but never a thought given to vacating the greens or turning off power equipment when they saw a player on tee box or in fairway. They made us wait till they were done - this occurred in nearly every hole. Not worth it.

This course just amazes every time. Hole after hole is just so unique and challenging but very doable for average and above golfers. We played the Meadow and Canyon nines and ended up loving both - not crazy long but pars and birdies are well earned. After playing all three nines several times, Meadow may be the under rated one of the bunch. It's tight but logical, and scenery as nice as any on the course. You still get plenty of the Steele Canyon famous elevation changes. It's just a fun place to play.

Do bring extra balls - you may need them - and just have fun. We did get on for an amazing price for a holiday thru a Hot Deal on GolfNow.

Absolutely beautiful. Super Challenging. Greens are super fast right now. Must play!

The course is in fantastic shape. Absolutely beautiful.

The starter was excellent. He knew there was a slow group ahead and so accommodated us by sending us off on a different 9. Its rare to see that level of service.

Highly recommended.

I loved this course. We started on meadows and finished on ranch. This course has 3 separate 9's and they were all in very good condition. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all cut and in very good condition. Greens were very fast but not hard to get used to. Now granted it was a Tuesday... We didn't have to wait at all. There was some construction going on, on different parts of the course but nothing that would hinder your play. I was very impressed with this course and plan to play it again soon.

The golf course was in very good condition except in locations where grass is being removed to save water. These areas currently under construction did not really affect the play. Greens are tricky, but are true and fast.

Haven't played here in over 15 years and was pleasantly surprised at how it's character has been maintained. The course is difficult but playable for all playing levels. The staff is awesome and would say overall the course is one of the best values in the county. Will go back soon.

We played the Canyon/Ranch track and I was impressed before we even started. Very professional staff, nice range and a few very nice putting greens. I've played places that charge way more than Steele Canyon, but that won't happen again as I'll go to Steele Canyon in the future.

Impeccable conditions everywhere and I thought it was a great touch that they are replacing a lot of grass that's never used to adjust to water restrictions. This is a must play course and in my opinion is one of the best courses in Southern California. If you have out of town visitors this is the place to go.

The greens were very fast and in perfect shape. I love the elevation changes and the layout of this beautiful place. If I lived closer I'd purchase a membership here.

I love this course. I haven't been here in a while and love what is being done with the landscaping. The water wise plantings enhance the beauty of this scenic course. The greens were pretty marred up though, which is unusual.

I am satisfied with this course
I'll be back soon.

The course is beautiful, challenging and a lot of fun. Pace of play was really slow in the morning, but no one was out in the hot afternoon sun. Good was great and the drinks cart appeared regularly. I would definitely play this course again, but probably not on a Saturday.

Great. Course. Fun elevated tees in multiple locations. Thought I hit some good ones , but could not find them. My score was awful ,but my afternoon was great. Definitely coming back. Well worth the drive. Very accommodating staff. Double or nothing on 18 came in real handy this time out. Sorry ,Jim.
