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.

Great venue

Beautiful course extremely challenging back tees. Get yardage book etc as I hit wonderful drives but due to course idiosyncrasies put them in hidden canyons etc. needed a lot more info than usual on a course. Some fairways tough due to summer golf in southwest . Greens not easier to read. Overall 4.4 stars.

Pleasantly satisfied

Was a bit windy but sun was out and perfect day for golf. We played Vineyard/ Canyon 9's in just about 4 hours. Fairways like most the county are a little hard and dry but greens were in good shape. People playing need to repair divots on greens (jerks). Staff at pro shop, starter, on course were pleasant and helpful. 19th hole food, staff and cheer was excellent. We'll be back for another round.

Canyon - Yes, Ranch - ?

Played on a Friday with my son. The course was relatively empty and pace was excellent. Loved the Canyon course with it's expansive views and it's elevation changes. Ranch course was disappointing in that's it flat and winds through a dilapidated ranch with junkyards and old trucks. Both layouts were well designed, long, and challenging. Would play Canyon again but not Ranch.

Overpriced for the course conditions

Was extremely disappointed with the condition of the fairways, which were semi dormant but also had patches of taller/thicker grasses all throughout every fairway. Greens were nice, rolled quick, but horrible with unrepaired ball marks. Course was WAY overpriced, even with the GolfNow rate. The normal $129 rate is absurd. Beautiful property, but not even close to an appropriate rate. Course was empty so pace of play was whatever we wanted.
