San Vicente's fast, true greens with rolling slopes and strategic elevation changes consistently impress golfers as among the best in San Diego. The well-regarded course layout, excellent bunkers, and smooth pace of play make it outstanding value.

Rating 73.7
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.

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.

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.

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.

Great layout, in great shape despite the heat. Required some shot making to keep it on the short stuff, and the elevation changes make you think hard about club selection. Both fairways and greens still looking good.

Fairways were OK plus, tee boxes were less than OK, greens were nice but way too slow, look like they had not been mowed in 3 days! Pro shop allowed a 2 some to cut in front of us on 10 tee.
