Mission Trails Golf Course

For $21, this course was great. Not perfect, but pretty good for the price. I'll recommend it and come play again. Challenging enough, but not too hard for an novice player.

This is my home course since I live about 1.5 miles away and I play here at least once a week. The course is generally in pretty good shape but sometimes there are a few drainage issues but they usually don't come in to play. And every now and then the flag colors are inaccurate for the pin placements but these two issues are minor to me.
The staff is always very friendly. They are very personable and nice and they act like your friend without any pretentiousness.
The course isn't the longest but I really like it because there is a lot of strategy involved which makes it fun. On many holes there are options to take a little risk and go for it or play more conservative. I like that. And with some of the sloping fairways and all of the trees and bunker placements it calls for accurate shots and a lot of shots that you can shape a little. It is a very fun course and one of the best values in San Diego. I would recommend it to everyone.

I am not the longest hitter of the ball, so I loved the reachable par 5 on the back nine. Birddie!!! Played the course in 4 hrs. Fairways were dry and cut low so my ball rolled out nicely. Only problem was that there was much standing water in the rough which can eat up your balls. Alot of fun, can't wait to play here again.

Not a spectacular layout, and not very long, but it's decently maintained. Good value for an 18 hole course if you get a decent discount on golfnow. Plus the burgers at the turn aren't too shabby.

My handicap is 31, my husbands is 8 - and we both enjoy playing Missions Trails. I'd definitely a Red Tee player, and find the course just about right for me. That is challenging without making me want to just give up. My husband plays from the blue tees, and likes the challenging traps, out of bounds, and reading the greens. It's one of the places he and THE BOYS meet on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

Have played Mission Trails many times and have always enjoyed the layout. Players rewarded for shot-shaping abilities.

the front 9 is pretty fun with all different models of holes that provide a good challenge of shot type, but offers scoring as well. the back 9 has a majority of the same type holes and it pays to hit it strait because thats where the hole tends to be, strait in front of you a few hundred yards. the best thing about this place is that even if your normal shot shape is slice you can just go over to the next fairway and hit your ball back over.

This course is great if you can secure a twilight rate. You can't beat $15 to $20 but the greens are in desperate need of attention. It's like putting over the Rockies. I golf here once a week because I live nearby and the staff is great. Other than that, the mantra holds true... You get what you pay for.

Overall conditions are great. The greens are a little rough, but with the hot weather I would consider them in great shape. Good course management is the best approach for the best experience. It would be o.k. if the nines were reversed for a year or two. Each nine presents a unique challenge. OUT is better for your iron play it plays a little shorter and IN is longer and better for great drivers to show their stuff.

This course has great features and is fun to play, the front 9 is real different from the back 9...and the course has some challenging holes.

It was raining a bunch on the day we played so conditions weren't great and there were puddles everywhere on the course. It doesn't rain a lot in SD, but one would think the course would be better designed for when it does even if not very often. Staff was fairly friendly, but I was on the phone a couple times with them to see if we could reschedule the outing because of the rain and I didn't get very clear answers. When we got to the course one of the staff said we could have taken a raincheck! Food is very limited. The views on the course are epic and most holes are challenging. Plus, the cost to play there is phenomenal. Can't beat the price compared to other courses around.
