Course Highlights
The three-nine layout delivers dramatic elevation changes and stunning scenery that consistently impress golfers unfamiliar with San Diego's hilly terrain. Friendly staff and well-maintained greens that hold up even after heavy rains make this course a reliable, rewarding choice.

About

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.

Course had lots of ravines, brush, water and hill top hazards as you hit from top of canyons. Made it very challenging!

This course would be excellent if it had GPS in the golf carts!

It has a little bit of everything. Hills, ravines, water, and can loose many balls if you can’t drive it 150 yards.

For the money I wish it had a GPS system in the golf carts, then I’d love to play it regularly.

Mr. Rousseau,

We are sorry your experience was less than satisfactory. There was a Marshall/Player Assistant on duty that afternoon, actually 2 when you started, but with 27 holes you may have missed them. If you are to have a similar experience in the future it is advised you call the golf shop to let them know what is going on so they can try and help remedy the situation. The phone # is listed on our scorecard which is placed on every cart. In addition, if our Starter had been made aware it was your first time visiting he has plenty of course guides that are complimentary to our guests. Again, we apologize you were not better looked after.

Not a good resort course - May work for members

Very disappointing . Without a guide, it was virtually impossible to play. Too many blind shots and unknown distances to hazards. Conditions were mediocre at best. The round took over five hours. There were no marshals.

Steel Canyon is a hidden gem

Steele Canyon is a hidden gem. Greats course with all kinds of elevation changes. Greens were in fantastic shape. Really fair layout. Just wish the fairways were a little better shape but its hard with the drought in San Diego. Would definitely play this course again .

rip off

The course is fine. Decent layout. My problem: I rented clubs whichThe course is fine. Decent layout. My problem: I rented clubs which weren't of a standard one expects at a high-priced course. 12 clubs in the bag. The shaft of each club was marked with distracting green tape (I guess to identify as course

property??)....If I hadn't paid an exorbitant price to rent this set of 12 clubs (the putter belonged in a yard sale), I wd have enjoyed this impressive layout.
