Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 71
Length 6908 yards
Slope 141
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.

Beautiful course, slow play day

Not sure why but pace of play was painful and we ended up having to quit after 15 due to dinner commitment.

Course was fun and in good shape. Will give it another shot int the future

Play at your own risk !

Great course with many challenges and great opportunities to land and score ( risk and reward )

The best fairways and smooth fast rolling greens make the course is very challenging, love all the elevating T boxes and blind dogleg ( bring extra balls)

Thanks guys for the best day of golfing and special thanks to the starter with the course layout information !

A Tale of Two Nines

27 holes: Canyon - Ranch - Vineyard

Played Canyon with ultimate elevation changes and forced carries; and absolute beautiful test of golf.

No.1 on the Ranch, takes you down to the valley with a creek that cuts across the par 5s.

Great staff, bar and restaurant. The only downside was hitting off mats on the driving range.

Definitely a bargain and well worth the trip!!

Too expensive

It’s a nice course. But, it plays more like a $60-75 course. For $100+ it’s way too expensive. It could be worth $100+ if it was very well maintained. But, it’s not. Bunkers are hard, rough is very patchy, fairways are ok. Greens are nice though.

Green was very fast (12), though the club sign said 10. Fairway maintenance was average. Fun and difficult course

Nobody should ever come here

Unless you have 2 whole days to play 1 round, stay away. Pace of play is an abomination unto God. I’m currently 55 minutes into my round and waiting to tee off ON THE 3RD HOLE. And there’s still a group in front of me!!

Seriously. The layout is fine, the conditioning is shaggy, but it’s not worth the 6 hours required to play here.
