Course Highlights
San Vicente's fast, true greens with rolling slopes and strategic elevation changes consistently impress golfers as among the best in San Diego. The well-regarded course layout, excellent bunkers, and smooth pace of play make it outstanding value.

Par 72
Length 6822 yards
Slope 135
Rating 73.7

San Vicente Golf Resort sprawls across lush rolling hills in Ramona, though it is conveniently only 20 minutes from San Diego's many attractions. Situated in the Valley of the Sun, the golf course boasts scenic views of the surrounding mountains as well as temperate weather for most of the year. Ted Robinson designed the layout, utilizing the natural contours and features of the terrain. The golf course only measures to 6,633 yards from the back tees but it seems to play much longer because of the elevation changes throughout, which range from subtle to dramatic. The undulating nature of the landscape gives each hole a unique character. No two holes even vaguely resemble one another on this layout. San Vicente is not only for golfers though, there are also lighted tennis courts, two equestrian centers, and a year-round heated pool.

Punched greens

At the time of booking, there was no notification that the green were punched. If there was a notice, I would have not made a reservation. Way over priced for having punched greens. Give it about 2 more weeks and it might be ready to play.

Fun lay out, decent shape.

Very fun course lay out. Challenging greens (just coming back from aeration), can see the challenge with more speed. For a course set in a neighborhood one does not really get affected by the houses, all the views are of a golf holes.

Greens punched/ No advanced notification

The people were amazing, very friendly. Course was “alright” but what made it horrible was the conditions of the greens. I wasn’t notified in advance that the greens had been punched. Made for a wasted round of golf.
