Not worth the money
Fairways and surrounding areas are beat up. Lots of construction on the course. Greens are the best part. For the amount of money your better going somewhere else

If you pay $90 to play this course you are part of the problem. This is a $55-$65 at best course for San Diego. Best thing it has going for it is it’s location.

Lovely Course
If you’re into being outside, having a few drinks and hanging with the boys, this is the perfect course for you.. The course itself is setup to where it’s fun to play and there are plenty of hazards to slice into, my favorite!! Pace of play is decent and the driving range is better than most on the area.. People coming on here leaving bad reviews didn’t get enough time away from their wives

Fine vacation course
We were in town on a vacation and wanted to play close to my resort. This course was perfect for that .. its not going to knock your socks off but lots of water holes and overall fun to play. Im sure there are better courses for the buck in SD but this was 10 mins away and very fun .. food was good too. ..
