Rating 73.7

Gary Player designed the 27 championship holes at Steele Canyon Golf Club in Jamul. The holes are divided into three unique nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The nines, called Canyon, Vineyard, and Ranch, each offer a different character but they are equally challenging. On the Ranch/Vineyard Course, golfers will be playing alongside free-roaming cattle that wander across the grassy meadows. There are a few elevation changes but they are not as dramatic as on the Canyon nine. Water hazards come into play several times and there are strategically placed bunkers to contend with as well. The third hole on the Ranch nine is the signature hole at Steele Canyon. This tricky par 4 plays from an elevated tee that sits 175 feet above the fairway. It is made even tougher by the prevailing winds that blow from left to right.

Highly Recommend this course!

We booked this course based on an online recommendation and am so glad we did!

We played all 27 holes on a Saturday under perfect skies. The Vineyard course had some winds to contend with, but nothing crazy. Our group consisted of everything from a scratch golfer to my high handicap, and everyone loved the course!

The scenery and views at this course are absolutely amazing! The Canyon and Ranch course wind through the hills with huge elevation changes. The course was in excellent condition and well kept.

The staff was very friendly and offered up some great tips before we headed out. They also made some special accommodations fro our group which was massively appreciated! We grabbed a quick lunch on our 2nd turn which was very good and reasonably priced.

We are already planning on coming back to play again on our next west coast trip and cannot recommend this course enough!

The whole experience at Steele Canyon was first class and amazing!

Fun, Challenging, Beautiful Course

Course is beautiful and well maintained. Surprised after all the rains San Diego just got that the greens and paths weren’t soggy at all. Love the layout of the course with all the hills. It’s a three nines course. We played Canyon into Ranch. Front was just as interesting/cool the back. It has a challenging set up but so fun!

Incredibly Scenic & Fun

There are three beautiful & long 9 hole courses. This is the highest ranked course I have played but I am a Duffer. Wide fairways, lots of bunkers, rough that would swallow your ball, and 10.5 green speeds. I had a blast as the weather was perfect! I could play these courses everyday!
