Mission Trails Golf Course

We started the day in a crisp 38 degrees and they even let us off a little early. The first hole is a long par 5 and difficult to par with a driving range to the left, sand trap to the right and finally a drainage ditch waiting for your ball on the second shot. The front nine is more of a target golf session whereas the back nine give you a chance to let it out. It is a course that requires patience and good course management. If you keep you ball out of danger then you can score well on this course. They have a mediocre driving range but they have a great staff. The beer is cold, the food is fresh, and the course is challenging. It's a good way to spend your day!

If you are close and are not in a hurry this course can be fun. Most holes are short and the greens are decent. Lots of beginners so play is slow

It's a good, fun course. Challenging on the front. Can be long on the back. I would go back

Excellent Golf Course with very efficient and friendly staff. It has a moderate degree of difficulty, good for average and intermediate golfers.

1. Where are the Marshals?

2. It's no fun having to wait 5-10 minutes on every tee and fairway shot for the groups ahead. From the 1st hole to the 9th hole. The group ahead of us was a 4some. It was a 4 some ahead of them with 2 women. The group in front of us were 1 1/2 holes behind the group in front of them after 2 holes. The 4some in front of the group in front of us were a hole behind the group in front of them. Then you get to the 10th tee and 3 groups are now waiting. Do the Marshals ever do their job on this course?

3. The Marshal on the course who has the water. Make sure he stops at every group on every hole! He pretty much is non-existent on the course anyways. But people get thirsty and like to drink water on the course. You try to flag him down because they skip holes and can't get their attention. I'm thirsty!

4. My group leaves on the 6th hole because course play is too slow leaving me to be a single with a wall of 4somes in front of me. I walk off the 9th green then to be hassled by the Starter on the first tee. Why? Because he can't find me on the list and asks for receipt to prove I paid. Starter, you're are ignored. Go back to your box and get out of my way so I can get in my warm car and go home. I owe you no answers! You're clueless!

5. Get some real starters and marshals who know what their job is. Thanks, goodbye!

The course conditions were quite poor. Usually the greens are in good shape. Right now they're very bumpy. The fairways and rough are always thin. A lot of bare spots.

I know what I get when I play here. And I only play here to mix up my golf routine and it's very cheap as well. Typically I only last 9 holes because pace of play is normally horrid here.

Fairways were dirt and hard. Too many blind shots. Not a fun way to golf.

When I lived in SD I played here a lot and usually enjoyed it. The course is in better condition now and the greens were true. New golf cars made this a better value.

You could not hit a shot without ending up on dirt. This is the worst golf course I have ever played, and the pace of play was EXTREMELY SLOW! We quit after 9 holes. They should have paid me to play the course. What a waste of time and money!

We were there on Saturday November 14th, for our 11:00 a.m. tee time. We didn't manage to get off the tee until 11:15 or so.

We proceeded to wait on every shot... it was so irritating, that we just left after 9 holes. Which took 3 hours to play. We didn't even want a rain check, as it isn't worth the irritation of a 6 hour round of golf. They put too many people out and it causes backups.

On the bright side, the greens were some of the best we've experienced in San Diego.

Standard Mission Trails Stack em and back em up.
Started to play at 12:05. Reached the 18th hole at 4:37. and waited at each hole for the group in front of us. As they were waiting for the group in front of them. This is what Mission Trails Managemnt does. Just how they run this course. It will be a good minute before I go back.

Mission Trails, what can I say, you get what you pay for, and this is a very reasonably priced course for the area, with some interesting holes. Good mix of straightforward, and challenging holes, with some thinking to do off the Tees on the early short Par 4's. Back nine is the better half - so keep some in the tank for scoring on these.

This course is in horrible condition. There were so many parts of the course that were ground under repair and looked like they had been that way for months... Those portions of the fairways that were not ground under repair had huge patches of crabgrass.
Way too many blind shots; no hole diagrams on the tee box or included on the scorecards.
Do not waste your time or money on this course

Stuck behind senior groups who wanted to chat all day. Slowest round I've ever played there.

This is a nice course to play and moderately priced. The staff is very friendly and professional. They all try to make the experience a great one, which it was for me.

Showed up on time but the group checking in, in front of us cussed us to be 5 mins late. They would no accommodate our tee time (9:45) and told us that we would have to wait til 11:30. Very poor service..

Greens are in great conditions! Best deal for a above average course.

I know this course very well and always enjoys an early morning round, especially playing along Lake Murray.

We arrived at 0535 for a 0600 tee time, there were 8 others waiting outside pro shop while the attendant was preparing for the day. He didn't open until about 0552, then there was a dash for the register. Some were playing 9 holes and others 18, by the time we paid our fees it was 0558. He handed us our cart key and told up to be on the tee at 0600 yet we still had to carry bags to cart, load, drive to !st tee and check in with starter.

We will return but please ask management to open earlier, a sunnier disposition by the staff would also be appreciated. Thank you.

Had a blast playing the course. Course was well taken care of except for one spot that was being repaired. Not a big deal. Rate of play was fast. I would go back again especially for the golf now rate of 17.99!

Enjoyed the course - short par 4s and some fun holes

While the price was right, the course condition was poor. Many dead patches in the fairways and the greens were littered with ball marks (mostly due to lack of being fixed). Food at the turn was a nice outdoor BBQ with friendly staff.
