San Vicente Golf Resort

As a newer golfer with only a just over a year of experience this is a fairly challenging course. The course is in close to perfect condition. Fairways are well kept and the greens are fast and firm. Would highly recommend to anyone!

If you feel like you want a challenge with the putter then this course is for you! Very challenging greens but definitely makes it a fun challenge with the flat stick!

I would love to play this course again. My golf game was near my best. Met some great people.

Made the trek out to San Vicente based on a recommendation on the course and conditions. Got there and greens were punched. That happens, sure. It would be a solid idea to maybe have that identified when booking a tee time. The fairways were also punched and very poor. Course maintenance is something that needs to be done. Totally understand, but then to charge full pop for your terrible condition course is just all sorts of wrong. No heads up, full pop, garbage conditions. Starter was flat out rude. When I met my playing partner on the first tee I mentioned that to him. He in turn says “ya guy was a total dick to me too.” Head over to the range and you’ll find poor mats, people crushing bomber cans of Fosters and “range balls” that are essentially the balls people lose on 9 and placed in the ball machine. On the plus side there are 10,000 turkeys running around and gobbling at them is a real treat….

The last time I played in November 2021, course was pristine. Yesterday 3/27, Tee Boxes were terrible, fairways were OK, greens were great.

But, a fun course to play and will definitely go back

All fairways brown and dead. First and last time playing there

I was enticed to visit the San Vicente Golf Resort because of the website's description of the 2021 course renovation which is accompanied by photos of what looks like a well-kept course.

Upon driving by the first few holes on our way to the clubhouse, however, we were disappointed by the condition of the fairways and general presentation of course—could this really be the same place we booked?

Unfortunately it was. Although the (remarkably difficult) greens were in good condition and clearly maintained, the fairways and tee boxes were terrible. I suppose we were lucky to be playing the day after a storm that saw the course get a good drenching. The conditions during our round were cold with a high of around 50, along with occasional sunshine interspersed between light to moderate rain showers that only interfered with play once. This resulted in the tee boxes and fairways being tolerable in terms of playability, but it was still clear that things aren't being watered enough.

The lack of irrigation doesn't make much sense either, considering there are 5 ponds on the course. Unless, of course, the pumps are broken, an excuse I've heard at a few other San Diego County golf courses over the past few years.

Hardly any green grass on the course. Rough more like weeds. Rock hard greens. Very slow pace.
