Good day

Staff was welcoming and checked us in quickly. Course was dry but we didn't complain our drives rolled for extra yardage. On site restaurant was closed for remodeling.

Worst Maintained Course I’ve Played In CA

I played Castle Creek this morning and couldn’t finish 18 holes - the course was that poorly maintained. There were gopher holes on every fairway, near the greens, and even on the green. There was a temporary green on the front nine that was mentioned upon paying $60+ for this horrible course. The tee boxes were in disastrous shape as well; over grown, weeds, gopher holes, etc. Fairways - quite simply - the worst I’ve played on a course in all my years playing golf (over 25). You won’t have a true putt due to poorly maintained greens as well.

Additionally, the signage is just really poor as well for each hole. If you have never played it, you’ll have questions on what hole you’re supposed to be playing as there are some “blind” fairways from the tee box and you have zero idea where you’re going off the box.

Highly, highly encourage you going somewhere else but there is no doubt in my mind this may be one of the most over priced dumps in SoCal. The rate for this track is severely over priced and I ended up leaving after 9 holes due to the conditions of the course. It was disgusting.

Not work the $

Play here if you don't mind over paying for a course that hasn't been watered or mowed in forever and you don't mind playing behind several 6 -somes. It looks like it may have been a fun course at one time. Some of the greens were so bad we had to treat areas as ground under repair. Not worth what they are charging.

Complete trash

Course not kept up. Nobody works on the course, cuts the grass, etc. only the lady at the register is there along with the course starter who drives around following u drunk. Only good note is the course is wide open. Nobody plays there and I can see why. I’d pay 10 bucks max to play here. 65 was complete ripping us off.

Worst conditioned course I have any played

DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE! With the exception of the greens (which were in fair condition) the nearly dead fairways were covered with gopher and prairie dog holes. All the facilities were either closed or in very poor conditions. From my understanding, the club had lost its liquor license and consequently has let the course go to ruins.Unfortunately, there is nothing advising a golfer of this. Obviously if I had, been aware, I would not have played it.

I had played this course a couple of years ago and it was very enjoyable. Not anymore!

poorest maintained course in San Diego

I've lived nearby for over 20 years and this course was very nice at one time. Since the current owner has taken over the course has steadily deteriorated. There is little or no course maintenance taking place. Bunkers have no sand and lots of vegetation growing in them. The fairways are not being watered sufficiently. Hole #12 has had a temporary green for at least 3 months. Greens haven't been punched in years. Gophers and ground squirrels have absolutely torn the course up. Employees keep quitting because they sometimes don't get their paychecks. If it was possible to give it a zero star rating I would. And to top it off the owner just RAISED the green fees. This place is a joke and I'd be willing to bet it's the worst maintained course in San Diego. The only positive thing is the pace of play is normally great since there is nobody playing.

Course has deteriorated into a dog track

We haven't played here in a long time and were incredibly disappointed in the conditions, the course has been allowed to return to nature and shows no attempt at maintenance. No mowing, coyotes wandering around, huge animal holes in the traps, etc, etc. just in really bad shape! Greens are the only thing seeing any attention and were not so bad. forget about the rest.
