Steele Canyon Golf Club - Ranch/Vineyard

Out of towners pay a slight premium to play this track.

WE wish for the price they charge they would have GPS system to make it a bit easier to see some hidden greens/pins.

If no GPS but a paper sourse lay out. We wanted to play canyon course but were denied the privilege.

Overall good place.

Steele Canyon quietly restructured their pricing and raised their normal rates. The course layout is ok for the most part but some holes are just garbage and just not fun — wish I could skip around the 3 courses to just play certain holes. The staff have their “noses in the air” and really make the initial check-in feel like non-member are second class citizens. I’m willing to spend some cash to play but don’t talk down to me if I ask a question. It’s really hot in Rancho San Diego and zero breeze. If the forecast says 20% chance for showers, you can bet that it’s raining at the canyon. If you have “older folks” behind you, they have NO problem trying to drop darts within 15 feet of you and your buddies if someone duffs it from the tee and is taking their second shot; they’re firing off from the closest tees. Then, they ask to pass, you considerately say yes (for cordiality and for safety concerns) but then you have Bonnie & Clyde “Sunday Driving” and your round just added a solid 40 minutes with frustrating waits as granny tries to put from the fairway!

For the money I was spending to play there every Saturday for a few months I decided to take my money to Riverwalk and signed up for a membership! What a world of difference. Granted, there are some “patchy” areas but if you can “hit it hard” you CANNOT beat it. And playing rounds for $11... it’s the obvious choice for San Diego golf. I would rank value/quality like this: (SD Resident Card) Torrey & Balboa, (the reservations with discounts) Sycuan/Barona, then (GolfNow or call pro shop) Riverwalk. North County has many to choose from but for value/quality I would only go Golf Club of CA, or Crossings. I deleted Steele Canyon from my favorites in all GPS apps.

I would say this course is a little overrated but definitely one of the top courses in the San Diego area. Greens are some of the best in the area. Just need some work on the fairways and a lot of work on the bunkers. Also some tips on the holes with blind shots wouldn't hurt either for first time players!

Overall a solid course with a great layout. Make sure you play the canyon course. I'd say it has the most character.

Steele Canyon is a challenging and exciting course that equally rewards good shots and punishes poor ones. The views from their numerous elevated tee boxes are dramatic and can be a distraction. Each of three 9 hole courses provide unique experiences that will bring you back for more. It’s worrh it to play more than once.—Cedric P.

I always enjoy a round of golf but this course is very disappointing. Overpriced, fairways in poor condition, pushy starter. Old stuffy golf atmosphere at a subpar course with high prices.

Great layout. Fairways a little dry due to the lack of rain and bumpy with recent aeration. One of my favorite courses when visiting San Diego.

Steele canyon has been one of my favorite tracks in San Diego for many years. After having been away for two years and coming back recently, it was great to get back out to Steele canyon and see it in great shape. Pace of play was fantasticStaff was great and course conditions were great. Greens rolled very nicely. My only constructive comment is that sane in the bunkers was quite hard And made it pretty tricky getting out of.

Great course with three 9 hole layouts, but one is about 4 notches below the other two. I have booked this on golfnow three times and every time it is a good nine and a not so good nine. Please just tell me what 2 9’s I am booking just like I get when I call and book.

Beautiful layout with beautiful views and greens were perfect. Can’t wait to go back and play canyons course which was closed for aeration of greens

Steele Canyon is a great layout and beautiful course to play. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting San Diego and looking to play a new course. Price can be a little high, but if you are able to play at different times, then the prices can be more flexible.

Nothing special. Winter conditions. Traps were not raked for a few days.

We come to San Diego for a weeks golf vacation every year and always play Steele Canyon. Due to the time of year, the course wasn't at its best but in good shape for March. Love the layout and the views. Staff was friendly and cost on Golfnow was reasonable.

Staff was friendly and courteous. Course was arid with lots of tight lies but is expected after dry winter. Layout is challenging.
