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.

Birthday present
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.
Great layout I normally only play Canyon/Ranch and would not recommend the Vineyard
As a side note the restaurant makes the best tuna melts in San Diego County that I've ever tasted
The Canyon
The course was awesome. The challenges of elevation changes and varying tee boxes continue. I am 77 years old so i do try to find the right distances to suit my aging game.
superb round of golf - shot 84
Well worth the money
Try to play here at least once a month… a complicated drive from Scripps. The elevation changes are awesome. Extremely well cared for.
Greens and tees: none better.
Worth every penny
This course is hard
Grass was pretty mowed down (short) made the fairways really fast, lots of roll. Greens were super fast. Had a lot of fun.
If you are lucky you can get a clear round. Unlucky as we were and you are stuck with slow play from groups - ruin the satisfaction.
Try to play canyon and ranch . Meadow much less interesting and tighter fairways between houses! Not playing as well in the Autumn as in the Summer months. Some of the tee offs were less manicured and offset badly.
This is still one of my favourite Southern California courses.
Really fun to play
I don't get to San Diego often, but when i do I always try to look for someplace new to play that'll be great. This year, Steele Canyon was the pick, and the right pick. The layout of the course was great, not too wicked, and the elevation changes on the holes was stunning for someone that lives in flatland.
Definitely will give it a go again.
My golf round
The staff was very nice. I love the layout of this course. Piece of play was excellent. I would recommend this place to everyone.
I would play here again
My group and I had a good time playing canyon and ranch. The views on ranch were beautiful and challenging as well. We did notice that there was a lot of crew members doing work around the course. On the last couple of holes the gentleman mowing didn’t stop and just kept going on his marry way to cut the fairway. The greens on ranch were sanded but that weren’t that bad. All in all great course would play there again.
