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.

Every thing was great on the course . Even though it was busy the pace of play did not suffer. My only thought was that the carts were sub par. Not much to complain about when everything else was very nice.

Not sure why you felt the greens were in poor condition. Possibly ball marks that were not fixed as it was a busy weekend with multiple events. Also, a mini tour event the previous week, they loved the greens! Rolling at a 10.5-11 on the stimpmeter and running true now, Sorry if you caught an unlucky time.
