Steele Canyon Golf Club - Ranch/Vineyard

Nice views, nice fairways and nice greens. Greens in great condition but pretty fast. One of the better courses in San Diego.

GREAT course, layout, co editions and staff. Fell in lo w with course in 2005, aged all 3 nines many, many times. The course offers everything, excellent greens, elevation changes, risk rewards and they ever faithful service cart. I enjoyed the course so much have been a member foe 4 years now, if you think I am biased....well may e bit take ride out and play the course and your too will be impressed.

Steele Canyon has a variety of elevation changes on each 9 holes. The greens are extremely fast and roll true for those players that like fast greens. All of the 9’s offer 5 sets of tee boxes for all skill levels. I would recommend this as a must play..

Gary Player did such a great job with this design! I love the well manicured fairways and the beautiful holes, bunkers and greens. Three different 9-hole layouts make for a fun and always exciting experience at Steele Canyon. I recommend it to all my friends.

Greens are very nice and fast. Some amazing tee shots over ravines with great views. Am interesting drive in the cart.

Could have a GPS that would show the hole yardage and the layout of the hole. Would definitely like to play it again.

We recently booked and played Steele Canyon in Jamul , CA just east of La Mesa in the San Diego area. Beautiful course and area. We liked it so much we played a second time a few days later. We will be back.

From the young man that helped us unload and load our clubs to the hostess at the restaurant after our round, everyone treated us as old friends. Can’t beat the course or the staff here, I will always look forward to playing Steel Canyon.

This is one of my favorite courses in the area. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a quality golf course.The fairways were a little dry but playable, greens were in good shape and rolled smooth. Good value for the money.

The course can be challenging as there are lots of tricky shots and places lose golf balls. The Ranch course greens are just recovering from being punched, but overall the greens were in good shape. The sand traps had not been raked and some were just rock hard. Fun day of golf on an interesting and challenging course.

Don’t let anyone tell you that ranch is a good course. It is the stupidest layout of any course I’ve ever played. Hole 1,2,5 & 6 are trash. Especially hole 2 and 5. Bad/idiot golfers think this course has character, but it’s just a really bad design. Bunkers are filled with hard dirt. The cups are volcanoes, meaning a straight putt will break the last inch and you’ll miss the putt. The most frustrating part about this course is that Canyon and Vineyard are SOOOOOOO MUCH NICER and the pro shop will tell you that canyon ranch is the better courses. I hate giving it the rating I did because Canyon is amazing, but ranch just angers me so much that it’s justified.

I love this course but Ranch is WAY over rated. If you play here don’t get suckered into thinking Vineyard is the worst. Just because Ranch has more elevation doesn’t mean it’s a better course.

It drizzled during the night, was misty for half the round starting at 9:15. Maintenance had hoses and sprinklers going on fairways and most of the tee boxes throughout the entire round which was very irritating, Poor planning, annoying and disrespectful. It’s overpriced, even through golfnow!

Course/fairways need water badly. Greens were perfect. Pin positions on the ‘canyon’ were, on many holes, unplayable and ridiculous with slope and speed - made no sense, just slows up play and irritates the players and I still shot 76.

Other players with me had trouble with bunkers which were hard and crusty.

This was the arrival-day round for our buddies trip and I picked it because it had a good clubhouse restaurant and practice facility. It's also relatively short (6,000 yards from the middle-back tees) so I thought it'd be a good warm up.

We started on the Vineyard nine which was very residential and had a few filler holes. Aside from an elevated first tee and a couple other spots it wasn't all that memorable. The Canyon nine took it up a notch with some really cool elevated shots and holes cut along mountainsides. It is certainly not easy though as you still need to hit a straight ball.

Course conditions were great and the crew seemed to enjoy the pick.
