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.

Greens need attention
Good layout with good place of play. Soccer greens need to be redone as the are bald spots especially on hole #1. I hear they are going to work some magic on the course but we shall see. I will wait till late summer to play this track again.
Awesome day!
Old guy at the counter was his usual grouchy self; actually a real jerk.

Your review will allow us to follow up in areas you voiced concern. We hope you will come back soon so we can WOW you on your next visit. Until then, take care!
The course has some great hole layouts
Unfortunately most of the fairways had only patchy grass and the greens were in bad condition as well
Disappointed
I’ve been browsing and playing golf courses in the SD Area for my vacation. In spite of the recent comments regarding the conditions of the course specially the greens I decided to give it a shot.
The course not only is in terrible condition (tell me if you find any grass in the fairway) as the three other people that would be playing with me got there as a foursome. This way I ended up being set to play by myself squeezed between 2 foursomes. Result: 10 minutes waiting for my second shot IN THE FIRST HOLE. And people shooting balls in me.
The only thing not terrible was the treatment given to me when I stopped my round and asked for my money back. The guys from the Pro Shop were polite and never argued.
But not only my experience was terrible but the course is unplayable right now. A shame.
Bautiful course
San Vicente is a fantastic golf course. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The course blends in with the surrounding oak trees and creek bed very well. Lots of beautiful birds around, Including a dozen wild Turkeys that greeted us at the 16th green. The greens definitely need some love and it sounds like they are completely re-doing the greens this Summer. Looking forward to that. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks so much for the review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort.
Problematic Greens
Greens have a disease and large patches of green are dirt. impossible to take putting seriously as ball bounces of target due to holes in the green due to disease
What a Dump!
I played this course this past November. All 18 greens had cancer. 50% of every green had large bare sports. Some of the greens - well, you could not call them greens as they were brown, basically dirt. I had not played this course for narely 25 years; however, at that time, it was in pristine condition. The only hope for this course is that they tear out every green and build them from scratch. I am writing this review 6 months later as I forgot to write it when I returned home from a short stay in Ramona. I am also planning another short stay in Ramona and again will be looking to play a round of golf.
Perhaps they have completed the rebuild of the greens by now. Otheriwise the 45 dollars they charged me was wasted. In the condition that I played this course, I would not recommend it to a sheep or cattle rancher.
Course needs work
Price from golf now was good but course fairways & greens pretty shabby
Greens
I’ve played this course many times, and have always been impressed with the course conditions especially the greens.This year has been especially humid and many local courses have had issues with their greens.
I will not let this one bad experience stop me from playing this course again.
The greens will recover, and when they re-build the greens next year this will be one of the best courses to play in the region.
Course good, greens terrible
Have played San V a handful of times, I have to drive a long way to get there but it's a course I like so it's worth it, until today. Greens were in terrible shape, lots of dirt patches and very bumpy, certainly not a true roll. Played here a few weeks back and they were no where near this bad so I don't know what happened, but until they're fixed it's not a course I'll be back to in a hurry. Tee boxes and fairways were fine so it can't just be lack of water.
They should disclose...
Just like the other reviews the greens pretty much unplayable. Myself and 3 friends played golf at San Vicente Golf Resort yesterday and it was TERRIBLE. We have played there a few times before and the course was always in great shape, tee to green. But yesterday when we played the greens were in TERRIBLE shape, LOTS of bare sections, not spots but sections of the green, they are blaming it on a fungus. We will go back once they get their greens fixed, there are others places to play in San Diego until they get this problem fixed.
good course but terrible green condition
I played this golf course first time. The course layout was good but the green condition was terrible. We gave up the putting in almost course.
I am not recommend this course this time.
Wait for a while!
San Vicente is one of my favorite courses in the county. I was excited to have two friends come along to play it for the first time. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! The greens are awful. Not truly playable. The GolfNow listing should DEFINITELY forewarn prospective players that the greens are a big problem. Looks like they got a fungus. But the "good parts" of the green are horribly long and bumpy. Wish we'd played elsewhere.
Greens where terrible
The greens where so bad half dirt and half shag carpet and a temp green. No advisory on golf now about conditions pretty disappointing
San-V
Always a great course. The greens are burned very badly due to the extremely hot summer weather. We just play 2 putts each hole. Fairways, bunkers and tee boxes are good. Many courses arround San Diego have burned greens this summer so we accept that here. Really a fun course.
Bad greens
Fair fairways, very bad greens. Most if not all have 80 percent dead grass.
