Rating 71.5

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.

San Vicente

This is a very nice course with a very solid layout. The greens are relatively fast and very true. I'm not wild with the design of the greens with multiple humpbacks and strange slopes. I will definitely return to play here again. Little bit of a drive from Mission Valley area it took about 45 minutes to get there.

Front 9 typical track course surrounded by homes. Challenging greens. I played gold tees at nearby Mt. Woodson and needed to move up to green/red tees on San Vicente.

Back 9 is a very different kind of course with more rugged ruff consisting of chaparral and oak trees.

Pro: great snack bar.

Con: course not monitored and seems to be a free for all with locals walking or driving on and off the course with kids and dogs at their leisure. Doesn’t have a professional golf club feel, especially for the price.

Nice course

Enough water, traps, huge trees that can sneak up on you. Sand is in excellent condition, large lakes and you are definitely in the country with huge trees surrounding. Greens are in real good shape and lots of undulation.

Felt like a Midwest country club atmosphere. Nice place to spend the day.

Greens are always a challenge but lots of fun

Fairways looking a little rough in spots, but the fresh sand in the bunkers make it a little more challenging around the hole.

Overall great, as usual.

Excellent condition as usual. Pace of play left something to be desired however. Sometimes that's just the way it is I guess. Two slow groups ahead of us.
