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.

Great course but bad tee time management
After driving over 45 mins to get there is find out that I'm playing by myself. Rather than match me with another group I get sandwiched between 2 4somes. No options were available to me due to a tournament going on. It was a nice course but was not enjoyable when you travel that far to play golf as a single.
Great find in the desert!
It was Thanksgiving weekend and some badly needed rain was threatening. It arrived on the 18th hole, so there was no indication on where to leave the golf cart, so they just started topile up at the clubhouse. No body was there when we finished.
Course was fun and definately had ups, downs and turns omit. Careful shot placement was essential. We would come back again. Note, it was way out in the countryside, with a scenic drive in between. It was a great day.
Beautiful Course and well maintained
Got the green fee from Golfnow hot deals. But the course itself can be compare to or better than premium golf courses that charge premium green fees, like Barona Creek. Staffs are friendly and courteous.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort!

Staff was very friendly and accommodating.Let us go out early. Course is in very good condition. Well worth the drive from Encinitas.

Hi Tkinsella,
Thank you for choosing San Vicente! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your round. We hope to see you again soon!
Irrigation Upgrade Mess
Course is one of my favorites in the lower price range in San Diego. However, when I played, the course had just begun what looks like extensive irrigation / drainage work. A few tees were moved to the fairways so as to put the workers out of harms way. Which of course makes the holes a joke. I would call course before you make any plans to play there for next few months.
Hi Zambony,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your experience was not up to par. We are currently making upgrades and appreciate your patience during this time. We hope to have another chance at exceeding your expectations.
Great day for golf
This was my first time playing San Vicente. What a great layout. Considering we are in a drought the course is in good shape. Greens are very well kept and roll true. I will most defiantly play here again. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Snack bar is well stocked. Overall a great day on the course.

Great overall experience. The course and pace of play was great. Couldnt have asked for a better round. Got a great deal with a meal included.
Hi Juan8596637,
Thanks for the five star review! We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your round here at San Vicente Golf Resort. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round!
Course is in great shape
The course is in great shape right now. The fairways are lush, the rough is actually rough and the greens roll true. My only gripe about the place is how far it is away (50min). The price is right and the conditions are great, just too far away to play again any time soon.
Hi tmolhook,
We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your round here at San Vicente Golf Resort. We hope to see you back again soon!
I took the Risk and made the Drive out
I was looking for somewhere I hadn't played before and wasn't restrained by drive time. I took a chance on San Vincente as I had heard many good things about it over the years. I play mostly as a single and they couldn't have been nicer connecting me with other (local) players and even got me out an hour ahead of schedule.
The course was in very good shape, including well maintained tee boxes and greens. The greens were very quick but once you adapt to the speed that's fine.
There is enough water, dry creek beds, trees, etc. in and around the holes to keep it very interesting even to the better golfer. Course had plenty of wildlife with families of turkeys everywhere. I liked it so much I went back 2 days later and played it again. Will go back again.
Restaurant had very good food and drinks as well to finish up the round.
Hi Insurance1,

GREAT CONDITION,BEAUTIFUL SETTING
I have played this course many times always in my top five, but yesterdays round the course was near perfect condition the best i have ever seen it my hats off to maintenance crew.
Many different hole challenges can be tough but very fair.
The greens were a little slow but true.
Saw a family of wild turkeys.
Will back soon,as always fix you're divots and respect the course.

Pleasant course
Friendly staff upon checking. Computer was down but staff worked so there was minimal delay. Had good rental clubs and played 16 holes with two local gentleman. Course was payed out very well and very interesting from the back tees. Greens were quicker than they looked and rolled pretty good considering the amount of play they received. Would go back and play again.

San Vicente
Much improved course. Greens a bit slow, fairways very good and happy with all else. Best I've seen this course in many years. Congratulations to the staff!
Hi SheriffJoeDep,
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you have noticed the improvements made to the course. We hope to have you back again soon!
Nice course.
It is a nice course with greens that roll very smooth. Two players jumped ahead of our 4-some because of slow play of the group in front of us. The marshal permitted this despite our protest, and the 4-some behind. Because of the two players aggressive push on the 3 senior players ahead of us, the senior players left the course! They were playing at a reasonable speed.
Hi Igb,
Thank you for your review and for choosing San Vicente. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the conditions of the course. We hope to see you again soon.
Smoothest round of golf with three unknown players.
Keep everything to the mid left and you got a chance. Shots to right destroy your round. Pure shots rewarded.
Hi Mikewell73,
Thank you for choosing San Vicente! We are happy to hear that you had a smooth round. We hope to see you again soon!
