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.

Canyon 9 signature hole Photo submitted by RockinDoc on 10/05/2012
Course was fun to play
Pros: Very good layout and fun to play. Course was in great shape. Greens were rolling very nicely. Play moved along briskly, so our twosome finished in 3.5 hours.
Cons: Didn't see the refreshment cart all round
Great course, thanks for the reviews
Played as a twosome Friday June 6th.... the reviews said the course was in exceptional condition and it was! Haven't played this course in a while but got a great rate on Golfnow with a promo code! I usually play the 'blues' maybe I should have played the 'whites'! Tough course!!! Tee boxes, fairways, greens, sand traps were all in good to excellent condition!!! Absolutely would play there again & recommend this course to others!!!
Enjoyed the day
First I like to say what a bum rap an out-of-towner gets playing here in San Diego. I paid $99 w/discount. The regular fee would be mid $40's. Well, I got an extra bonus when they waved the $20 for another 9 holes which ended up being 14 holes (a member wanted to show off their top hole on the course). The course was exciting, with challanges on every hole. If you're playing good you will enjoy the course. If you're having a rough day be sure to bring extra balls and go easy on yourself.
Always a great day
Myself and 4-8 of my buddies play here quite often. The 27 hole layout is always challenging. The Staff and I mean everyone are awesome!!!!!!
A real pleasure to spend the day there.
Love this track
Fun track with open fairways and some tight approach shots
the only bad thing
they have three courses there but they start everyone on too so you have people back to back on each hole they should spread out from the beginning across all 3 courses and the round would be much more enjoyable
A thinking course.
An excellent course. The price was right that everyone can afford. I will definitely comeback and play this course again.
A Pleasure to the Eye
This course is a pleasure to the eye with many altitude changes and splendid views (particularly on the Canyon course). You definitely require a cart. Overall the course is is very good shape and some of the greens in particular are extremely demanding of a precise approach shot. This is not a course for a beginner.
well maintained and course design is not bad.
Played canyon and ranch course with my wife.
8th hole at canyon and 3rd hole at ranch have great viewed.
anyway, well enjoyed and much fun.
Cheeseburg at restaurant was so nice.
strongly recommand to try it.
Steele canyon great times
The greens are fast and fairways are narrow but we needed the challenge . Watch out for the canyon shots you might lose a few balls just be prepared , overall this course is full or fun .we will be back soon
Best value in town
No better course for forty dollars.Beautiful mountains and valleys, fairways are in outstanding condition and the greens were not completely back but still 8 out of 10.Gps in the carts would be great.Canyon/Ranch great elevation changes.Course is fair but can make you pay. keep it in play.
HATS OFF FOR GARY PLAYER!!
The course mangement is the best in S. D. county. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The course was in EXCELLENT condition and greens are some the best I have played. The only thing wrong with this course is, it to far from Carlsbad....
Steele Canyon Golf Course, Challenging But Fair
The course was in excellent shape with the exception of the range which needs work. The course of play was slightly better than 15 minutes per hole which enabled us to have a pleasant round.
I must thank the Groundskeepers for stopping the mowing equipment when one is playing a shot, it is much appreciated.
William Parker
Course was good, but pairings were much to be desired.
Course was in very good condition with the greens rolling nicely. My only issue was with the pro shop. We made a tee time for 651am as a threesome. The pro shop decided to put a single with us and made us a foursome. Then they put a twosome right behind us. This made no sense to us and we eventually had to let (2) twosomes and threesome go ahead of us. Poor planning by the pro shop.
If you decide to stop by after lunch, definitely get the Thai Chili wings. Best item on the menu.
Always good
Course was in great shape as usual. Greens rolled great and the course played fast.
Super Course
I played Canyon/Ranch nines at this course and I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the course. Every aspect of the course was just fantastic! The scenes were beautiful being at the foot of the mountains! Worth every penny I paid!
Nice Course -- Reasonable Price
Steele Canyon is one of the best public courses in San Diego County. If possible, you want to play the Canyon and Ranch nines. The Meadow nine is not quite as interesting. The greens are firm and fast. The restaurant makes one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever tasted.
Great golf holes lots of fun
Our tee time was at 4pm we didn't have to wait long between holes. The fairways where great puting green was in great condition. Overall had a great time and awesome scenery.
World class premier course
Any golfer anywhere can be enthralled by this course. The conditions and maintenance are excellent. The balance of risk and reward is a thrill every time.
We are sorry your round was less enjoyable by having a single paired with your group. Our golf shop employee / starter was simply going by what was listed on our tee sheet as the single was booked at the same tee time as yours. Sometimes groups show up with less players than they reserved for or show up late for their tee times and we cannot pair up everyone perfectly into foursomes. It looks like your pace of play was still very good for a weekend morning despite your round being delayed by showing good etiquette and letting the groups play through. If you would like to contact us directly in the golf shop the next time you plan on visiting we will be happy to accommodate you as best we can.
