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.

Nice place in Ramona.....

Nicest condition for a golf course i've seen all year......tough place though....sand is treacherous avoid at all costs.......greens are pretty speedy, don't hit it too hard....lots o humps and bumps, i don't think there's a straight putt on the course.........par 3's are long and tough....getting a 6+ is easy to do........if ya wanna challenge your game this is the place to go..........

Very different. I loved it!

I played this course over 10 years ago and now it is very different. I was told that it went thru a remodeling. I simply loved it and it has become my favorite course in the area. Even though I live in Downtown San Diego, I will continue going all the way there.

Beautiful Course

The course looks absolutely beautiful. They have put a lot of work into this place over the last couple years and it shows. The GPS units on the carts are a great addition as well. I look forward to playing here again soon.

No Warning of Punched and Sanded Greens

Greens were punched and sanded over. No warning when booking on their website and charging full price. When I noticed the green conditions when we walked up, the pro shop staff was very rude and aggressively stated they’re charging full price regardless. We drove 45 mins to get there so we were going to play regardless…I think they bank on that since they’re way out there.

The starter was allowing twosomes to go out because they didn’t want to play with others so we teed off late and pace was painfully slow. Marshall wasn’t doing anything to move things along and questioned our group for playing the black tees when we were waiting several minutes between every shot. He recommended we skip a few holes and jump in where there was a gap…which is what he’s supposed to be what preventing as the course marshall. I liked the layout and would have liked to play their normal greens but they really need to fix their operation.

Getting better

Played on football Sunday which thinned out the crowds a little. About 5hrs starting from noon. The course has gotten better since the beginning of the year. (The other twosome ith me said San V is in better condition than Maderas!)

Fairways are above avg. Greens are true, fast, and goofy.....prices are in par with other courses in its category....

Fun in the hills

It's a bit of a trek getting there and back, but a fun drive through the hills. Pace of play was great on a weekday afternoon, and the course was in great shape. The greens are definitely tricky and tough to read on the first play through. Plenty of opportunities to draw and fade the ball, and several opportunities to lose your ball as well. The staff at the 19th hole were very friendly and the food was very tasty.

Fun day golfing

The course was in good condition. They had temporary tee boxes on 2 hole. Wild turkeys everywhere. Pace of play was outstanding. Although there were plenty of golfers there, It was like having the course to ourselves. We didn't see anyone until the 18th hole where we had to wait for 5 minutes. Will definitely be coming back here.
