Course is not maintained. Hard to find your ball in the fairway. Tumbleweeds on some fairways, mostly just dirt.

Should not be listed with TeeOff or Golfnow

The greens are in fair shape. That's it. Everything else is atrocious. Clubhouse is a single small room with a barely functional bathroom. You can purchase chips or packaged cookies, etc. Grounds are littered with branches and debris. Tees and fairways are mostly weeds, dirt and ruts. Occasional small islands of grass that is 6-8 inches deep. Rough is higher weeds and deeper ruts. No markers telling which hole you're on. No waste baskets, ball washers, or yardage markers. No sand in traps (but a rake in one or two). An aging billboard on the road leading in says it was voted 3rd best course in the county. Must've been in 1923.

WORST GOLF COURSE IN SAN DIEGO

Very disappointed! The golf course has overgrown weeds through the entire golf course including the fairways. The fairway hasn't been mowed in weeks, there is hardly any grass on the fairway, mainly dirt and major deep gopher holes on the entire golf course. The t-boxes had overgrown weeds and grass, and uneven turf to tee-off. To summarize my experience, this course should be closed and taken off Tee-Off and Golf Now. The course is none playable and should be closed immediately. WORST GOLF COURSE IN SAN DIEGO!

Really?

This course is basically unplayable because the condition of the fairways and tees. While the greens are okay, both the tees and fairways are basically hay, leaves, weeds and gopher holes. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO GREEN GRASS ON ANY FAIRWAY ON THE ENTIRE COURSE. It was difficult to find a drive hit straight in what would be the fairway because of all the leaves. The owner should be ashamed of putting this course on Golf Now and suckering fools like me to drive an hour and a half to play it.

Golf now needs to remove this course!

This was the worst conditions I have ever been forced to pay for!...told the pro shop this is not worth the gas to drive to thos course!.I was told I had to pay because I made the reservation through golf now. After being force to pay we discovered the back nine was worse than the front...tee boxes are dirt and un even...the greens are inconsistent and there are no such thing as a fairway it is all dirt and weeds...do not play here!...please remove this location from golf now it makes you look bad to refer to this place as a golf course, or atleast have a disclaimer saying they do not water anything but the greens!...this was the worst experience I have ever had and I have played hemet golf course before in the summer. It is truly sad because this used to be a great course!

Don't advertise this course

The tee boxes and fairways has no grass, gopher holes. Dry as a bone. Only good thing was that the greens were descent. I would not recommend this course to anybody. Wouldn't mind if I could get a refund.

Thank you

Post Zombie Apocalypse course

It looks like the course is ready to permanently close any day now. The course has not been maintained for quite some time. It is not worth the $45 fee due to the rough conditions unless you want to go to a place where you will be the only golfer around.

All ready for development

Not a place to play golf unless you’re into weeds and dry dirt. It’s definitely not maintained and getting ready for development for houses so there is absolutely no maintenance on anything. They just gave up. Don’t play it. They made me give them a star to get through this review but again don’t play it I would never even give them a one star.

Castle Creek

The Course is not being maintained at all at this time. The fairways are not really fairways , more like like a meadow that is not mowed or maintained. Gopher holes everywhere, weeds in the middle of the fairway 2-3 ft high. no real distinguishing difference between the rough and fairway. All of the sand traps were covered with weeds. The greens were definitely an adventure to putt on. I will not play there again. By the way no services were available at the office or pro shop and building was locked during round so bathrooms were unavailable.

STAY AWAY!!!

Tax Shelter Creek

Just sell this obvious tax shelter! All these reviews are spot on. As golfers, we just want to play this course like it used to be. What a shame that someone pays less taxes to keep this a cow pasture son they can make their money somewhere else. It’s probably Chinese owned.
