Greens in neglected condition

Layout is good with views all around. Fairways are hard, bunkers are pure dirt and most green with bald areas. However good practice for $10 from golfnow.

Course condition was very poor

We have played this course at least a dozen times over the past several years. the last time was May or June of this year. The course was in excellent shape. Then we played it on sept. 19, 2017. The course was in terrible shape. It was like they quit taking care of it because of an impending" sale or something. I reported our displeasure to the "man behind the counter". Most all greens had a "Fungus", impossible to putt. The areas around the green were over-grown and needed to be cut. The areas adjacent to the "dry" creek, were allowed to be overgrown. I could go on and on. The last time we'll play there this year!

Great disappointment!

An acquaintance recommended me this course, so I went and... to be sad by looking at the conditions of the greens, mainly the first 9. Absolutely Terrible!, with uncountable patches.. see pictures below.

Never again will be there, unless they put some money into it and fix it.. It would be nice if they did not mislead people by posting beautiful pictures of the place.. So may dry areas is pathetic

Poor Service

Paid and played on time, but they did not mark us us as showing up, and Golf Now billed us again. Called course and after much hoop jumping, they said they had gotten Golf Now to credit me, but still have not received credit. Bad experience from course and Golf Now.

SO sad

The greens are dying! which is so sad, as the track offers a variety of shots, open and narrow off the tee, water, traps - really use to look forward to the trip here but it'll need a great deal of TLC to not become more housing

Good Value

I love the layout of the course. It is Classic. Rewards you for good shots penalizes you for bad ones. The greens were torn up from a fungus on a couplet of holes, but the staff warned me before I paid. Good inexpensive course to work on your game.

We played our round in 2.5 hours. But, this course is in terrible condition and not challenging at all. Pretty boring and beat-up course. Just not worth playing.

Horrible conditions

I don't normally write a bad review and this course is one that I like to play. However, something is terrible wrong with the course conditions. The greens are atrocious. Crows were all over the first green tearing it up. It was soggy and full of dead spots. That same thing was noted on most of the greens on the front side. The back side had some fair greens but if I had known of these conditions I would never have played even if it was free.

This course is a shambles.

Greens are a mess with only a little grass on them. One green is using a temp green, Fairways are not much better even though they are watering them. We played early first tee time and greens were soaked there just is no grass on them. This course calls itself a country club but believe me when I say it is not even close to being a country club. I keep hoping they improve this course as it is a nice layout but it doesnt improve at all. In San Diego County there are so many wonderful courses dont waste your money on this place. It is only lacking 50 cows and it will be a great pasture.
