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.

Slow greens
Slowest greens in San Diego. Slow play. Not worth drive. Never saw a marshall.
Quality course
This course offers med length and occasional elevation changes. Though the fairways are wintering, they are I'm good condition. The greens are in quite good shape somewhat fast and putt true. Only course downside would be wet/hard sand traps. Overall, one of the best golfing values around.
Glad I teamed up with jim
First time playing, on first tee joined with a local player, and he really helped on proper targeting. A cold rainy day, but that helped us zip around in 3.5 hours as the course was not crowded. That includes some ball hunting and a short rain break.some dormant areas and dead grass in fajrway, but greens were good. Playing with Jim helped avoid unseen trouble. A fun course. Near Mt. Woodson, another course I liked in previous years. Very pleasant staff in clubhouse, and nice beverage facilities afterwards. Will play again on another San Diego visit! Excellent price with hot deal on golfnow.
NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE!
I lived in Ramona for 20 years. 5 of them on this course. It truly was the best deal in San Diego. A hidden gem. I've played it hundreds of times. Traditionally the course was always in excellent condition throughout the year. Tee boxes, fairways and greens had always been top notch. I returned there to play a round this week after not being there for a year and was very disappointed with the conditions. Fairways were dead, tee boxes were rough, and the greens were beat up. It's still a great track and we made the best of it, but it was a bummer to see such a great course take a bad spin so quickly. Still a fun course with great pace of play. I hope they can restore it to its glory days.
Thanks so much for the review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort.
Monday round
Place was fairly busy, not much greeting...course was In decent shape...could tell it took some damage from big rains....greens in good to great condition...fairways and tee boxes pretty rough...4 and half hour round....didn’t see any marshalls, or cart girls....that would have been nice....overall, still good value..
Thank you for visiting us at San Vicente Golf Resort. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Plenty of bald spots
For winter conditions i expected the course to be a little greener. I guess the water shortages in CA are taking their toll on SVGC. Most of the greens are in good shape.
This is a tough course to play the first time. A lot of course knowledge is needed to keep your score low. #18 is a fantastic finishing hole that provides a reward for the golfer that grips it & rips it from the elevated tee box.
San Vicente
Great course and amenities, friendly staff but quit after 11 holes because it was so slow. It ruined anotherwise great day of golf. Folks I played with quit after 9 holes. I have never played that slow ever. Almost 3 hours for 9 holes
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort.
A little beat up but fun layout
It was prime time so it was a relatively slow round. Very interesting layout, unlike most courses in the area. Fairway grass was mostly very tight so it was really hard to get under the ball. Overall though, a fun course I will play again.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. San Vicente Golf Resort thanks you!
It is a fun course. Too bad that they didn't seed for winter grass.
Thanks so much for the review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort.
Not the gem we thought
Heard this place was a real gem and it was anything but. The entire course was rough. Patchy hard fairways, greens where ok on some holes. Most of the course feels like a ran down municipal but municipal courses are in better shape. Not like the photos but everywhere is blond right now. This wasn’t the great course we wanted and expected. Won’t be back for a while if ever
Xmas eve shotgun start
We started off at the 14th hole. Interesting way and different. Course was in good condition, greens were good , yet some were water logged. It's definitely a drive, worth it on occasion. Course is tough , yet not overly tough. Staff was great.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing San Vicente Golf Resort.
Hidden gem
First time at San Vicente and got paired with 3 locals. The coolest golfers I’ve been paired with ever. Fun day. Every hole was different and unique. Greens were beautiful. This place was awesome!
Thank you for visiting us at San Vicente Golf Resort. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great Value, Fun Time
We had a great round at San Vicente on a Sunday afternoon. We did tee off about 30 minutes late which put us in danger of not completing 18 holes (we did, but just barely) but after that we had a fun time.
Course is in good condition, especially the bunkers and greens. Not too many bare spots. Ramona is a tough environment to maintain a course perfectly throughout but I thought it was solid and a lot better than some others I've played recently in the East County.
At $28 this was unbeatable.

Really nice course
Really nice course, 3rd time playing, pace of play was slow.
Thanks so much for the review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort.
First time, and not my last...
I was really happy coming here, even though the ride is through a winding road, lots of curves and slow pace, but the course was worth it. We are coming back on the first week of 2018 again.
Greens in great condition, fairways pretty well maintained even though some areas were dry like most courses in California, but it was a good experience.
