Steele Canyon Golf Club - Ranch/Vineyard
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.

Golfer Reviews
Great course terrible members
Fun course, a few things that really disappointed me though. I have played there twice in the past 2 weeks 1st time with my father who was in town from Ohio and the second time celebrating a good friend visiting from Canada for his birthday. 1st time there was a group of 5 ahead of us that was not super slow but did not offer to let a 2some pass and the next time there was a group of 8 ahead of us. The group of 8 was yelling screaming and taking up to 25 minutes a whole. When I called the front desk they sent a marshal out to speak with the gentleman only to let them continue with again EIGHT people playing since they are members. We caught up to them on the turn and by hole 15 we had decided enough was enough and decided to call it a day, as we drove past the group more vulgar comments were made and they were sure to let us know that we were not allowed to pass them and if we tried to play through they would be hitting into us..... As I was talking to the front desk on our way out another one of their members finished up and started complaining about the same group. He said this has been happening regularly and was very disappointed. I was told to send an email to Alan Sheer the director of golf. His response "The group is known to play at a pace of under 3.5 hours on a daily basis, although we do not permit groups greater than 5s with our Members." Not sure why when the ranger went to talk to them he allowed them to continue with 8. After a round like that and a half hearted sorry for our members I am not sure I will ever be back.
Great Course
The course was in great condition. Local knowledge is very helpful. The pro shop gave me a yardage book. I ended up playing the back nine with a member, which really helped out with how to play some of the holes.
Several holes had pin placements that were unfair for putting in my opinion.
Fun, challenging course
Greens in great condition, some dead areas in fairway. Challenging layout. Well marked.
Nice rolling greens
Southern California gem, course layout is challenging greens are pristine. Green fees on hot deal totally worth it. Pace Of play was good 4-4.5 hours.
slow today and marshal did not help, he did not know the status of the front 9 at all
the course is a great and our favorite course in south county but the pace of play was slow today and the $125 plus $25 for the extra cart and range balls cost me $290 for my son and i to play a round.
Nice course
Nice course fun layout challenge with no experience. Some carries are tough to judge. Greens were excellent some fairway issues. I would not pay 100$ to play this course.
Another great outing at Steele Canyon
Course is drying out somewhat, but i have to hand it to the staff in keeping it in good conditions with latest heat we have been having.
Greens are fast, somewhat tricky. Must place the ball in strategic areas to score well throughout the course. Course is for skilled players and it rewards good shots. Staff is very friendly, always fun to play here.
Rough around the edges, but great layout
Greens were very good. Tee boxes were really beat up and uneven. Fairways were okay. Course conditions are about what you’d expect at a municipal course. But layout is super fun and greens are great.
4 out of 5
I like Steele Canyon. The grounds need to be watered more but it’s July. I had a good time today and the people working there were friendly.
Good course, bad experience with starter
Course overall was good, but I had bad experience with the starter (Around 60s, white male).
The starter was micro managing everything at first, which didn't bother me.
However, after I was on practice greens waiting for my tee time and headed back to the cart, he said "you guys weren't ready, so I let other group (who had tee time after ours) tee off first."
I could not believe he did not ask us first if we are ready AND let the group with later tee time to tee off without our permission. Starter's bad etiquette has gotten me furious.
Besides the starter's behavior, course was in good condition.
