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.

Nice layout, brutal pace of play

Great, fun layout. Not much grass in the fairways. Painfully slow pace of play...5 hrs plus on a Sunday at 8:30am.

We factored in 4:30-4:45 pace of play. Ended up skipping the last 3 holes to get to the airport. Won’t go back

Hidden gem in San Diego

Great course in east side of San Diego. The scenery is beautiful and you hear no outside noises, real peaceful and you connect to nature. The grass and greens are pretty decent, considering it’s Winter. The staff don’t like to answer questions but they mean no harm, I guess.. overall great experience

Tee Boxes were rough hard to find a place to stand without a divot.

Greens were less than desirable need maintenance.

Still good

Usual friendly staff. Starter who actually does their job and send out players that prevents bottlenecks. Marshalls keeps pace moving. Multiple cart persons on course. And most importantly, the course is in good shape. Winter time golf is best when temperature is comfortable

Beautiful and Challenging Course!

Was in SoCal and got to play here, Maderas and Torrey Pines Southern Course - a nice golf trip!

I was a single and was paired with a couple great members and my man, Terry. My group was outstanding and definitely elevated my experience, but the course in itself was fantastic. I liked the mixture combos of 3 9-hole courses. I played Ranch/Vineyard. 3rd hole on Ranch was amazing.

Good times, highly recommend!

I CANT SAY ENOUGH

This course was immaculate!!!!!! Extremely challenging and beyond excellent course condition!

1.) The staff was AMAZING , friendly helpful and full of insight from the pro shop lady to the several starters and marshals I encountered

2.) The greens were immaculate and rolled as true as could be I would be hard pressed to find even a blemish on any of them and I played all three 9hole courses

3.) the pace of play was fantastic in these tough times for golf they have managed to properly manage a course

I’m aware this is not a budget course but it really doesn’t break the bank either and I will happily pay the extra 15 bucks to have the experience I had on Wednesday again .

Oh and I played terrible and I’m still writing raving review . Thank you very much Steele canyon!!!
