About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 71
Length 6908 yards
Slope 139
Rating 74.2

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.

Pace of play

We went off with no groups 2 holes ahead of us. By hole 13 we were waiting on group ahead of us. For next 5 holes the wait got longer and two foursomes caught up to us. There were no groups ahead of the foursome ahead of us. By hole 17 we received a warning in our cart that we were behind pace by 20 minutes. The last hole took nearly 30 minutes to play. Only as we drove up to the green did we see a Marshall, who just waved. When I asked about the glacial pace of play, he said it was hot out and we were almost done with our round. What??

I really enjoyed playing this golf course, but this was a very disappointing. Marshall’s need to keep up pace of play.

Beautiful but tough course

The views were stunning but it was quite a challenge. Loved all the multi level holes. There was no starter and I had to talk to the cart guys to figure out where to go but overall a really good experience.
