Steele Canyon Golf Club - Ranch/Vineyard
About
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.

Canyon 9 signature hole Photo submitted by RockinDoc on 10/05/2012
Pace of play was not very good. Almost a 5 1/2hr round
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 track!
Don’t usually leave reviews. I am a SD resident and religiously play balboa and Torrey.. this course was an absolute treat! I recommend it to anyone !! Great layout great greens makes for a great time! Really good pace of play we never waited.
Fantastic course and worse a round
Really fun, tricky and in some places hard course. Big up and down holes and the scenery and the layout is fantastic.
Fun and challenging course.
Love the differences in elevation from hole to hole. Unlike anything I have seen on the east coast.
Locked carts cart chimes
Biggest issue was the golf cart chiming and locking sporadically
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!
Great pace of play on this course
The starter the people inside the pro shop are very friendly and accommodating as always. I enjoyed my round. Very nice pace of play conditions were excellent. I like everything about Steel Canyon.
Great course
Really nice course. Good friendly staff and in really good condition. Definitely would play it again and recommend to any friends.
Good Condition
Course was in good condition with greens that held the ball.
