My home course

I play this course almost every week. It's a fun course, not in the best condition and not the worst either, but it is a municipal course. Greens are usually in pretty good shape and are little fast. Overall, a good course for the money.

Back again

I played this course years ago when I lived here but moved away and played this with my friends who still live here. We enjoyed the wide-open lay out the pace of play was a little slow but other than that we enjoy The course. It brought back a lot of memories when I used to play it. I will always comeback to play

Great course for the value

Had a great time at the course. The course was in good shape aside from some wet spots and a few areas where it was been worked but ovearall in good shape. The layout can be a Lil tricky if you are not familiar with the it, good thing I was paired with a couple of locals. Will be coming back.

Good public course

Enjoyable course close to San Diego downtown. A little dry, can be very busy with a slow pace of play at peak times. Some very dry dusty areas with no grass, but overall course is pretty fair.

Nice place to Play

A lot of people say that the course is easy. If that were the case then their scores would be PAR or lower. The course has just enough challenges to make it interesting, but it is also fun to play. The front 9 is "target" golf and the back 9 is a totally different style of play.

Good value

Short, but shot demanding. Lots of elevation changes and dog legs with a few blind tee shots. Fairways are coming back from aeration, very firm, tight lies. Greens are very good.

This course has interesting layout.

Although relatively a short course in yardage, it requires accurate ball placement otherwise you can easily get into trouble.

Great course for average golfers.

Played this course twice. Once last fall, and once this spring. The greens are in superb condition and are tricky. The staff are easy to speak with. Lots of trees while course layout remains very open. Average golfers can enjoy rounds without too much pressure.

Over Priced

Mediocre Golf Course Maintenance.

Sandy greens dry (except morning dew)

Balls hit 5 yards off fairway are completely not visible unless you are directly over them because the grass has not been cut.

At the turn, trailer snack bar not open. Went upstairs to order window to order from the posted menu, was told that they had nothing but beer and mixed drinks and that the trailer would open in 15 min.

Overall, not a good experience.

Slow play / No carts = Over Booked

3 hour front 9. 20 minutes behind scheduled tee time because there's no carts because it's super overbooked every weekend. Plan accordingly.

Decent Course, Long Waits

We made a spontaneous decision to play while visiting San Diego. The price was great and had times available in early afternoon. The major issue for me was they had too few carts, which caused a long delay to start. Everyone had to wait for people to finish their round for a cart to be available. My wait lasted about 40 minutes past scheduled time. Several groups went off as twosomes due to the wait, which slowed play. We only got 15 in due to darkness. Two different locals told us they had never seen them run out of carts. They must have packed the course full.

The front 9 was okay, with a creek coming into play on almost all holes. There were several blind tee shots, necessitating care to be sure the group in front was clear. The back 9 was a different course altogether. It had a number of sloping fairways and great views of Lake Murray.

We had 3 and 4 groups on each hole on the front, but the back was very open due to several leaving after long waits on the front. Still a nice day in great weather, that could have been better if not so slow.
