San Vicente Golf Resort
About
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.

Fairway needs maintenance/water
New green complex is fun to play. Fairway needs better maintenance and water. It is very hard to hit a ball because less/no grass.
Terrible Experience
The course is completely dead on every level from tee to green. The pace of play is atrocious, we had to leave after the 4th hole because there were two full groups waiting to tee off. There are tee shots with trees directly in your path. The newly renovated greens are impossible to keep a ball on and are so firm they feel like concrete.
THE COURSE FAIRWAYS SUCK
2/08/2022
When a person is calling for a tee time, they should be informed that the Bermuda grass is not reseeded and not watered. This should be said just like when they punch the Greens. When the 2 of us got there, we had already paid 130.00 for 2 players no discount and the fairways were like hitting off asphalt and hard pan dirt. I asked about a discount and they stated no. I think the management should give discounts to unsuspecting out of towners that read the course was redone and it shows all the fairways nice and green, until you get there and its all-brown grass everywhere. This is the first time I have ever gave a review, but it should be stated they are stealing from the public because of their decision not to water the fairways.
Thank you taking the time to read this,
Fairways are poorly managed
All the fairways had little grass so it was like hitting irons on the bare ground..
Fast greens
Course needs work. That said, the greens are spectacular. This has so much potential to be an amazing course. They neglect the fairways beyond belief and seem to really only care about the greens. If you don’t mind hitting off of dead grass every shot, this course is for you. Tough to pure irons here due to hard ground, but that being said the ball rolls out on the fairway an extra 50 yards. Was hitting drives 350, and 3 wood 300 yards off the tee. Keep that in mind if you play here. All in all, the course is okay
Good course ,excellent layout
Fine day ,course interesting ,greens in lush shape but very slope ridden
Stay below the hole!!
Fairways are dead, so great bounces on fairway finders, but also tight lies all day. Can’t wait to come back once the green grass returns. Fun, challenging layout with some forgiveness if you spray one here and there.
But the greens….wow. FAST and hilly. Probably rolling around 11.5 or 12 yesterday. No such thing as a flat putt to be found. And if you miss a downhill putt with some momentum, you may find yourself off the green. But, you can also putt from 30 yards off the green on many holes, which may be the better play right now!
Great staff and excellent food as well!
See you in the spring!
Fun course, challenging greens
Fun course that has some tricky greens! Summertime conditions are great, winter time is more dry but solid overall. Greens are fast!
Tough.
First time playing here. Staff was friendly, had a club tourney ahead of us holding us up a bit. This course was really fun and will challenge you as a golfer.
No grass
I was excited about the recent renewal of the greens and bunkers. But the tee boxes and fairways are basically dirt. The ground was so hard that you couldn’t even take a divot to get under the ball. They are cleanly saving money on water because what is the point in watering if there is no grass anyways. For a 75$ peak hour tee time I would expect to be hitting off of grass. Back to the new greens, they are very tough. Some of the hole locations are nearly impossible.
Green changes are awesome. You better hit it to the right spot or 2 putts will be very difficult. Looks like they're getting ready to overseed the fairways so they're a little crunchy and tight lies. All around its in good shape and I will definitely play again and will recommend it to others.
Potential to become a better course
After renovation in 2021 the greens are in perfect condition. Pretty fast and demanding. New bunkers with deep and pretty soft sand are also difficult to play if you are not used to it. Unfortunately the fairways and areas around the greens need to be optimised. The ground is very dry and hard. The grass is brown. Speed of Play was ok. Stuff very kind and helpful. The course has potential to be developed to a better one.
Ramona Hideaway
I foresee some great opportunities for San Vincente Golf Club, though the course on the day I played was challenging the conditions of the course are promising, the fairways appeared to be dry and the greens were sprayed green, it will be awesome in wet conditions, and promising for dry conditions, the ball rolls out, the greens are very hilly, very few flat lays which could equate to a frustrating round, but if played as few times will change you as a golfer and how to play the course. All in all the course is promising.
Worth playing
The course was a fun layout and well maintained. It can get really windy around there, so watch the forecast when booking. The greens were pretty challenging - very fast and lots of slope.
Great layout.
The greens are great, and everyone is different and challenging. Will play again.
Poor fairways conditions this round
Fairways were dry and barren. Very difficult to hit the ball. Difficult course as it is made it twice as difficult.
Wish I would have had a heads up on course conditions. It was much nicer last time I played here (back in Aug)
I will have to check with the pro shop next time
Glad I got a discounted rate or it would have been a waste of money
