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.

Pretty surroundings but difficult greens to read and even with the guide, we had difficulty hitting the ball where we needed to.

Might play again but not for awhile. Canyons course was tough. Did better on the 2nd 9 - Ranch.

First time unimpressed

I guess this used to be a great course.....but it shows much age and use without much care in maintaining it. Just plain shabby overall. Fairways OK but hard pan in too many areas. Greens hard and spotty. I hope they can turn it around and some day I will try it again.

Jamul's Hidden Jewel

This course is amazing! Anytime it is featured on golf now for under $80 I try to book a tee time. The greens are great and the course is well manicured. The elevation holes on canyon are fun and challenging...if you get a chance to play Steele Canyon don't miss the opportunity...you won't be disappointed!

This course is always in great condition!

Any of the 3 nine hole courses here are always nicely kept and in great condition. We usually play Canyon/Ranch but it was nice to play Ranch/Meadow for a change. We played under a threat of rain but had only a few sprinkles. As a result of the possible weather we had an empty course and never saw anyone either ahead or behind us. We finished in four hours without hurrying at all. A delicious lunch afterwards capped off a very nice day!

Steele Canyon Ranch/Meadow

The staff was courteous and helpful. I was a single and the starter offered to send me out with a twosome on the Canyon/Ranch package which is the most requested package, but I decided to play Ranch/Meadow because I didn’t want to wait a half hour for the twosome to show up. The course conditions were excellent and even though I was stuck behind a foursome the pace was still good. I’m a 4 handicap and I shot a 78 from the tips. The course offers the most discriminating offer a challenge. A yardage book is a must for first timers.

Nice Couse

Challenging set of three 9-holes. Course knowledge or a course book would help shoot a good round. No GPS on the carts, which surprised me for the price charged. Overall a good golf experience. Staff needs to brush-up on their hospitality skills.

Winter conditions, still great

Most courses at this time are getting worn down due to the change in weather, but Steele canyon is still holding its own. Their greens may be a touch sandy and fast but the tee boxes and fairways are still in tip top condition. Best course I've played in the last month.
