Mission Trails Golf Course

I was not aware that the greens had been recently punched. Never saw on Golf Now website or mentioned by the guy who checked us in. The slow play was probably the reason I would think twice about playing there again.

I have played mission trails golf course probably over 50 times throughout the years and last weekend was by far the slowest round I have ever played there. It took us 5 hours and 45 minutes to complete our round with is totally unacceptable. We saw the course marshal once and the only reason he was out there was to keep us from driving on the fairway, not speed up the pace of play. I have been playing Mission Trails less and less lately and because of this now it will be a very long time before I return if ever. I do not recommend Mission Trails if you have any plans after golfing because you will be late for them.

No notification that the course was being punched and the back 9 being played twice. Golf now did not notify me nor the course till I checked in. Very disappointed in the fairway condition only the greens were really playable. I don’t think I will be back!

This is the second time I played the course where it took ALMOST 6 HOURS to play. I do like the track, but I just cannot take that much time to play golf. Sorry but if I am not playing early morning weekday golf, this course is probably not my cup of tea.

This course has the promise to be a hidden gem. However, the fairways are horrible on most holes and the greens are fair. The dress code is not enforced so you get hackers in jeans that bring a 12 pack of beer and spray the ball all over the place. The marshals are great for clearing aluminum cans but do nothing for pace of play. They need to limit tee times by one or two less an hour, push the 4th hole white tee box back with the blues to help. The logo for the course is a snail so pack a lunch if you play here and maybe dinner.

Good for the price. They can use a lawnmower from time to time to clean up the fairway.

Place of the tee boxes on several holes is questionable , especially “18”, fairways need work as well as some of the greens. Despite the little things, it’s a good course and I did enjoy myself.

Booked a 12:45 tee time. Showed up at about 12:05 and checked in. The guy in the pro shop was not too friendly. As I’m paying he mentions “we’re running a little behind today”. I realized it was cart path only (which would have been nice to note on the reservation GolfNow) but I figured it would be CP only due to rain anyway, so I wasn’t surprised. Pro shop says “by the time we get to your tee time, hopefully less than 30 mins behind.” It sounded like they’d run out of carts and overbooked the day. Carts trickled in and groups went out 10-15 mins apart (so I’m thinking at least evenly spread groups will keep up pace.) 12:45 comes and goes. We finally get to the tee box at 1:40. We think we’re finally off!.. and with sunset at 5:40, we might finish. No chance to play 1-18... the backup starts on the first par 3, #3, and it doesn’t stop the rest of the 9. It took a full 3 hours to finish the front 9. Backed up 1-2 groups on every tee, not just the par 3’s. Thankfully we decided to just play the front 9 again, which we were able to do in about 1:30 since everyone had cleared off the front by 4:45 when we started again. Thankfully got in a full 18, albeit the front x2.

I have played this course many times over the years and it’s no secret it’s slow pace of play. Even the cart cards say it’s a 4:30 pace. But, this was unbelievably slow.

The course was in ok shape for having just gotten so much rain. Lots of mud which was to be expected. The greens were surprisingly fast, but very inconsistent and bumpy. The layout is also kind of crummy. Holes 4 and 5 require a draw iron off the tee, hole 6 another shot requiring a big draw, and hole 8 is a blind landing zone - especially if you’re playing into the sunset!

I know you get what you pay for so I’m not expecting private club level course, but the mismanagement of the groups, timing, and carts was ridiculous. I have played plenty of $40 rounds that do a much better job of running the show smoothly. Probably won’t be back anymore. Better deals and courses out there.

I have played here before, but the pace of play was BRUTALLY slow. 10:07 a.m. tee time, didn't tee off until 10:44 a.m. and walked off the course at 4:07 p.m. This is unacceptable. It was cart path only, but this was ridiculous. Recommendation: DO NOT play this course when wet. Come back another day when it is dry. Staff could have done a lot more to move pace of play, but they DIDN'T. I like this course, but will be a long time until I come back.

Probably the worst experience ive had on a golf course that was unrelated to my score. Pace of play at this course is abysmal. 9 holes in 3 hours. The marshals dont even try to regulate it.

Dont go here unless you want to pay for something youre going to regret.

I was told everyone wanted to play today due to the upcoming rain. However Tee Off Time was running 20 minutes past the scheduled Tee Time. The pace was horribly slow. I quit in frustration after 11 holes.

Everything was good except course policy to allow up to one fivesome per hour. There was a slow playing fivesome two groups ahead and it dragged the pace down. I would rethink playing there without first asking how many fivesomes have been booked that dayu/time period.

Good course with friendly staff. Unfortunately, this course is always overbooked causing a major pace of play issue. First we waited over 20 min for a cart then we proceeded to have almost a six hour round. Course bottlenecks at the 4th hole and never let's up. Very disappointed. Unless you have all day and dont mind waiting 15 plus minutes on each hole I do not reccomend you play here.

The course was ok, nice greens, well maintained, but it seems like they're overbooking the tee times long waits on every hole

The course was in good condition. The greens were very nice and the bunkers were excellent. Very fluffy and you could properly hit a sand wedge out of there instead of the typical san diego concrete bunkers. The pace of place was quite slow. They allow two twosomes to tee off one after the other instead of making a foursome which can be a bit frustrating if you are a pace of play player. We did not mind as that is what we expected. They are running low on golf carts so we had to wait to get ours. One died half way through but luckily it was right before the turn so we were able to switch out. All in all i would play it again but dont get frustrated with slow play.

Our hot deal tee time was double booked and put us 35 minutes behind because it was busy and nowhere to put us. Not cool!
