Good value

Some of the fairways under repair but greens are outstanding. Service at restaurant was great. This place is a great value not sure why people insist on giving it a bad rap. The course was very busy but the start times were extremely well managed.

Muddy fairways/ Cart Path Only

Overall good experience. Lots of fairways were in average or below average conditions. Center of fairways muddy, cart path only on allot of holes, fungus on fairways everywhere. But pace of play was great, and greens were in pristine condition!!!

A little under the weather

The greens were in great shape, fast and a bit challenging to find the proper line. It is walkable but I took a cart as the others in my group had them. If you really need a cart to get around be forewarned that many of the fairways on the par 4's and 5's were roped off from cart access--to protect repaired and recovering turf, I'm guessing. You may have to walk a ways to get to your ball.

Rude Pro Shop Staff

The staff in the pro shop was rude and condescending. I got a Golfnow hot deal tee time that included a cart. When I got to the pro shop, they challenged me by saying that a cart is NEVER included in any tee time. I showed them my Golfnow reservation that clearly showed that the cart was included. They still gave me a hard time and brought in a manager. After like ten minutes of pointless arguing, they finally gave me the cart like it was some kind of favor. They kept telling me that Golfnow shouldn't have included the cart. NOT MY PROBLEM! The course management should take it up with Golfnow and stop bothering paying customers! I couldn't believe all of drama I had to go through to get a cart that was clearly included in my reservation.

Water the grass

Played at other courses in San Diego for less coin with better grass in the fairways. Disappointed to say the least.
