Steele Canyon Golf Club - Ranch/Vineyard
Rating Snapshot
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
A very well run facility
Every single aspect of this place was running well today. The starter was getting groups out on time. The tee boxes were not stacked up. The pace of play was great and on top of that the staff was really nice .
I played the ranch and vineyard course and the tee boxes were in great shape and pin placement was fun too. Greens were rolling fast and also in great shape . Well done guys
I haven’t played here since summer 2020. This is my favorite course in San Diego and everytime I play it’s twilight. The first 4 times no issues with time. We played a 2pm twilight round. We’ve never had to wait, at all, at any moment on this course. They decided to let a huge group of members out to mess the entire twilight rounds up for everyone else. They were getting wasted and taking their sweet time. The tee boxes had group hitting and 2 groups waiting at one point. Never saw a Marshall. Absolutely pathetic for a course of this caliber. The condition of the course was amazing due the the recent rain. Staff here has always been pretty terrible, very rude and their customer service is beyond god awful. I’m sure it’s different if you’re a member there. I’m good on ever going back which is a shame, because this course is unbelievable.
A-Hole Asian couple (members)jumped ahead and caused a 5 and a half hour round
Too bad no one in management was present to kick off the jerkz from groups later than our tee time..... late for their 4-some but skipped ahead of several other foursomes and we ended up over 5 and a half hours due to their arrogance.
The marshall was powerless to do anything, so $200.00 for us 2 locals to just get pushed back was pretty pathetic. I will rethink playing there again. Im really ticked off to pay that much (discounted?)and them allow idiots to just do as they wanted.
Made my day
It was a perfect weather golf day on a perfect course. Played Ranch and Vineyard and both courses were in great shape from fairways to Greens. It is also a very challenging course that gives you good opportunity if you got game. I don't have game but I had a great time. Staff and all amenities were excellent.
Nice ... needs to dial up a few things.
Very nice layout. Good staff. Course in pretty good condition. This could be a top, top quality course, but lacks in a few areas. The carts are old and no good, for instance. They charge enough that they can step up the stuff around the golf and it would be top notch.
Beano
Great views. Greens were nice. Tee boxes a little rough
Great value for the money
a great cource - for a country club it could have been maitained better.
Good course, would play again
Really enjoyed the course, greens were in rough shape, apparently fix your ball-mark is not a thing here. But overall the course played well and quick.
The golf beverage cart was only seem twice on front 9 and they only had 1 bottle of water, never saw them on the back 9.
If your a first timer, be prepared for chilly reception by the staff for invading their space. .
We apologize that the greens were not up to their usual very good standards as Steele Canyon values its greens as being the most consistent in the County year around. There was a large charity tournament the day before, clearly got some wear and tear. In addition, it was a busy day with lots of drinks going around, short staffed as is the case with many during Covid. We apologize for the poor reception, it is definitely not the norm and hope you will visit us again soon.
I Love This Place
All 3 9’s are wonderful layouts. They are fun and challenging. The condition of the course was amazing, the fairways green and the greens are in great shape. I spent a good part of my day repairing other peoples ball marks, but the course can’t screen out the idiots, unfortunately.
Don't miss this place
What a layout! I love be the course. Intelligent course design. Play from the proper tees for a better experience!!!
