Mission Trails Golf Course

We have been playing this course the last 8 years and in the past year, it has gotten so much better. My best friend comes down from Az twice a year to play and could not believe the difference in the course since Jan. All the greens are getting in great shape, use to be dry and bumpy, but now balls roll great! The fairways are wider than ever and rough is just right to where you can still find a ball instead of looking for it buried. Who ever is running the course now, job very well done! Note: on one hole, think the 11th, always hard to see the 150 marker and they have now put a flag on it, so much better!

great course for the price. If you are going to buy lunch at the turn make sure to buy the lunch special when you pay your green fees.

Great golf course the lay out was beatiful,,freindly people that wok there. I will definetly recommend this course to all my friends. It's was a great round should a 74 and weather and service was outstanding.

I have played MT many times. It is one of my favorite courses in terms of layout. The front 9 has some unique holes that I love. The conditions are really bad. I know there are water restrictions but there are parts that are rutted. Super large dead spots on the fairway but the rough looks green and lush. I don't get. Pace of play is really bad because they overbook on busy weekends. On normal weekdays it's fine.

Most the staff are super kind but I always find the guy grilling at the 9th hole to be rude. Like he is inconvenienced by my buying some of his food.

In the drought of our lifetime here in San Diego. Despite that the course is in spectacular shape - especially the greens. Even got my first Birdie on a par 5 hole

If you have lots of time to play its fine but 3.5 hr front 9 thats a bit much they need more Marshalls to speed up slow players i won't play there again unless i have 7.0 hr to play ha ha ha won't be back!!!!!!

it is so interesting. But some players are so late and we had to wait each holes.

The course is an old public hilly course with dry fairways, weedy rough. Greens were ok but slow. Some wierd holes with drainage canal running through fairways or alongside.
No beverage cart was seen.
Find another course if you can for under $30 through golfnow as this course was not worth it.

Pros: cheap rates, its is worth the money you pay, really nice greens conditions actually, all 18 are really nice and even softer than most in CA. Some fun really downhill and uphill par 3's that can be challenging, if you tee off really early you can play the course in 3 hours as a foursome no problem, we did that last weekend.

Cons: fairways and rough are a mixture if different grasses and lots of crab grass, very rough shape but they are about to cut a lot of that out as we saw spray painted lines on all fairways. We've heard they are gonna save a lot of water and turn it into more of a desert style course which could make it really fun and nice; decided to try an afternoon round midweek for $25 with a cart which was a really good deal, but it took us an extra hour to play it than it did early morning the previous weekend. Lots of local hackers like to play here it seems like and holes 1,2,3 can be a golf ball war zone.

front nine pace a bit slow but much quicker after that.
overall good shape greens very nice. a few hazards
but not too many pretty wide open for the most part.
would play again.

Five hour plus round....very slow, waited every hole. I will not return.

My husband I had a 4PM tee time thinking that we might be able to play at least 12-14 holes. However, the 2 guys playing in front of us really slowed down the pace of play. There were 2 groups behind us that we're also waiting on each hole. These 2 guys would tee off 2-3 times on each hole. They would also take multiple shots each time they taking their shots. Also, spent forever to looking for their balls each time their balls would go out of bounds. We love playing this course as it is a good course and has great views and a variety of holes. It took about 3 hours and 15 minutes to play 9 holes. With no course marshals on the course there is no one to talk too.

I am so torn to write this review since I love this course to play, but hate, hate hate (yes that is 3 hates) how they just stuff the course with players. Not only do they stuff the course with players, they allow 5somes on weekend days. they have no marshall speeding up the pace of play, which is really annoying when you complain about it.

The course itself is a pretty easy course to navigate, and gives enough challenges to enjoy golf for the 10-20 handicap. Conditions were a little bare in some spots, but I did not expect more from the SD droughts. No course should be condemned because of the lack of water.

HERE IS THE KICKER AND THE REASON I CAN NEVER PLACE THIS COURSE AGAIN. oUR ROUND LITERALLY TOOK 6HRS AND 45 MIN. YES YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY.

The bad part is that the pro shop does nothing to compensate. Please stay away from this course if you plan to finish in a reasonable time.

Fun course to play, challeges are the concrete creek through several holes, may need to lay up on a few holes. Many blind shots and hills to play, all in all a good day on the course.

Staff was friendly, course was in decent condition, fairways were ok, greens are great, tee boxes were ok and overall it was good to go. Challenging course! Pace of play was good and no real issues. 18th hole is a bit odd with a big ol tree between you and the green which is only 260 yards out. Good course!

The course provides a challenging round with penalty for straying from the fairways. If you are not in a hurry it is a great course and bargain to play but pace of play is extremely slow.

Fun layout-a nice challenge !! Would play again. Nice location.

The greens are in excellent condition. The fairways need improvement - "ratty" in spots. The Course is challenging. It is an excellent value.

Started at 1pm and played 11 holes. A local gentleman was paired with us and he was a great guy.Will likely not play again as it was too slow and had too many playing from tees above their talent range. probably worth the cost.

Fun course, good variety of holes and great greens.
