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.

Exceptional character

This golf course has 3 different nine hole counterparts. I played upon the canyon and vineyard 9's. I LOVE the vineyard nine. There's a need to successfully hit all 14 clubs you have in your bag really well!

The greens were quick, but manageable. I made a lot of putts out there today.

Enjoy wonderful and difficult shots!

Great course, but felt pressured by tournament players

We loved the course but had a members of the Friday tournament crowd come down while we were playing the first green and intimidatingly tell us to hurry up on the first hole and throughout our 18 holes. We kept the pace of play and were respectful. Was disappointed to know that public members who paid green fees were looked down upon at such a renowned course.

Steele Canyon

The course is in excellent shape. The fairways, greens and tee boxes were very playable. It's an interesting layout, very challenging in club selection for players who don't know the course because of changes in elevation. The greens are true, a little slower than I am used to.

Great shape

Challenging par 71 course, in very good condition, but backed-up to make an over 5 hour round.
