Rating 72.3

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.

Amazing course with gorgeous nature canyon setting

Loved my day at this course! Staff was very friendly, played early in the morning and was able to get on solo with my booking and not paired up with another group. Was able to play all 27 holes, Canyon 9 was my favorite, but each 9 has its own unique setting, the Vineyard 9 crosses through a real vineyard that was neat as well. 10/10 would recommend.

tough track

Greens were excellent as were the boxes and fairways. I knew going into it that it was a tough track, and that proved to be true. Will still go back for the challenge.

Super Friendly Staff, Excellent Amenities, Sub-par Course

The good: super friendly Staff at all areas of the course. Excellent restaurant. Excellent course views. Three nines to choose from. Visually impressive.

Course is over-priced for the course conditions. Despite plenty of rain, fairways had too many spotty conditions. Course runs fast making fairways and greens play much smaller than they actually are.

Closer to a municipal than a club course.

Great Track

One of my favorite courses in San Diego. Some spectacular holes with large elevation changes, especially on the Canyon course. Challenging but fair, and tight in spots, so keeping the ball in play is paramount. Pricey unless you can get a Golf Now Hot Deal.

Great early March outing

My wife had an enjoyable 4 hour round on the Canyon/Vineyard nines. Greens and tee boxes in the best shape. Fairways and rough had some thin areas.
