First Time Playing

First time at Mission Trails

First time encountering inability to purchase/rent use of pull cart to walk a course. Had to play with a motorized cart. Walking is allowed but I’m from out of town (ie., tourist) and didn’t pack one(!).

Played with 2 very friendly locals.

Holes # 10, 17, 18, are “tough” and create bottlenecks.

First Time Playing

Pleasantly surprised

My first time playing there and it’s now one of favorites in SD. Although the yardage doesn’t seem too far, there’s some holes that almost force you to lay up and a couple that you can go for. Pace was a little slow but there was a Marshal staying on top of it and pushing slower groups to play ready golf. I forget the hole but we were on a green and had a range ball land by us. It was a little sketchy. Keep your head on a swivel. Tons of fores called out. Definitely a great value for the price. I will absolutely play this course again.

Currently Undergoing Maintenance

Sand all over greens right now, unaware of the situation until we showed up to the pro shop. Also had a sign on the door saying everyone is playing the back 9 twice so it just ended up being a S-show. I love MT. Been a soft spot for me since I started playing the sport, but this day was very frustrating. I’d call and ask about conditions before booking. I learned my lesson. Wont be back until everything’s recovered.

Pleasantly Surprised

This was my first time playing this course in nearly 20 years. I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course. The greens were true, the bunkers actually had sand in them, and the fairways were in great condition. That coupled with the great October San Diego weather made it a truefully great experience.

Ambassador

Pace of place started good but it got worse on the turn. Greens played and rolled well. Fairways aren't too bad... Front 9 played in 1 hour and 30 min. Back played in 3.5 hours. Ambassador showed up, but all I could see him do is look for lost golf balls and collect them...Oh well! Most likely the reason for volunteering.
