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.

Beautiful scenery, worth the drive. Slow greens
Great course in the middle of nowhere east or San Diego. Beautiful course with lakes and huge trees, definitely needs a couple of rounds before you can beat the course. The only complaint is that the greens are really slow, I ended up 3-putting a lot of holes, not used to such slow greens.
Must Play Here
First time here. Excellent conditions. Worth the drive from point Loma. Greens and fairways in great shape. Come out and play this course.
SVGC Review 5-25-15
The golf course is really in great shape. One of the few courses left in Southern California with actual rough you must play out of when you miss the fairway. If you can make the drive up I highly recommend playing here.
Awesome Condition, Friendly Staff
Worth the drive! Lush Conditions, great greens. They are working on some reclamation projects but it is being done very professionally. Course conditions were fantastic, very green, defined cuts and greens that rolled perfect. Would come back again, first 5 star rating for me..
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort.
Nice course
1st time playing this course. Nice and green. Played the white tees. 6228 yards. They had a landscaping co. doing all the non playing surfaces and boy is it going to look good. Greens like felt, but were they fast. We all had a tough time holding the green and stopping putts. Wish I lived closer to play more often.
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 good San Vicente course getting even better after a turf removal program
I can't say enough good things about San Vicente. Ted Robinson created a fun place to play that's scenic and inviting. The turf removal program scheduled to be completed by the end of the summer should only enhance the course beauty, replacing 18 1/2 acres of grass with mulch and native plants. Any initiative to save on water costs shows forward thinking by management. A handful of rebuilt, lined ponds and natural wetlands are the biggest obstacles besides the trees and bunkers. There's no signature hole, but there's no bad hole, either. It's just a solid round from start to finish.
Fivesomes and More
Firstly, the course is well-maintained and fun to play.
Unfortunately, golfers and tee-times are poorly managed. Fivesomes on Saturday morning make no one happy. A sixsome (I'm not kidding) makes a golfer angry. Ten minutes behind on tee times before 7:00 is...well, you have to try hard to make that happen. Moreover, locals/members often insert themselves in gaps on the course when they don't think that doing so will bother anyone...much. The pro shop has a laissez-fair attitude about all of this which makes playing here a frustrating experience.
I totally agree with your comments on this course. The Pro Shop Staff showed up 15 minutes late, which meant he had angry golfers waiting for him. Took his time getting set up, which meant another 10 minute delay. Because of his tardiness, he was rude to everyone. And the golfers inserting themselves also happened to us. Great course, fun to play, but very frustrated with the way they run their business.
Beautiful day!
Beautiful course - some replanting going on, but never in our way! Great setting and a really wonderful way to spend a day! Hamburgers at the snack bar were excellent! A good happy hour menu upstairs finished the day with an amazing view to boot!
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.
Fair course. Very slow pace of play.
Today had to be the longest wait I ever played...at any course. Can you say overbooked? It took almost three hours to complete the first nine holes!!!! No Marshall in sight . While we were waiting for our tee time, we watched a foursome take 30 minutes to finish the par 4 -18th!! 30 Minutes!
I will give Mgt a mulligan today. Hopefully, they will read this and work on keeping the pace of play manageable.
Marshall needed
It's very very slowly playing, there is no management from Marshall
Working hard to make a good course better
While this course is somewhat out of the way it is a very good value. The fairways and greens are in good condition which is the exception based on how the drought has affected other courses in the area. They recently converted a weed infested marsh into a pond and are currently doing major work to convert large areas that rarely come into play from sod to low water plants and mulch. The end result should be a great visual and water saving improvement and management should be commended.
Great Day, Great Course
On a perfect afternoon we played San Vicente. Staff greeted us cordially when we arrived and we very friendly with helping us with our questions. The course is very well maintained and the new landscaping changes they are making will be wonderful. The course was full that day of other golfers enjoying the spectacular day, so it was somewhat slow. But we look forward to coming back.

Fun Day
I got this tee time on a Hot Deal. 40 minute drive for me from near Del Mar. Awesome weather. The course was in real good shape. The greens had be aerated but had almost fully recovered. They rolled pretty well and were surprisingly fast. I checked in, got a few range balls (the range is small though-length wise) and was called to the tee about 30 minutes early. That would be my only complaint. Did not get to finish at the range and did not hit any putts. Played with 3 others and had a good time.
Has Wild Turkeys
The course was in excellent condition. It is undergoing improvements which did not interfere with play. One of out favorite San Diego courses.

Nice coure
Nice course and layout, too bad California isn't getting enough rain. The Golf courses here need it. Ground is very firm. Can't stop a ball on the greens. Club house very nice great food, cold beverages and great staff. Will come back next year. Out on Vacation from PA.
Course is in great shape. Fairways and greens are really good considering we are in a drought.
Always enjoy this course. The course is in great shape and the staff is very friendly.
The rough is tough!
Great round of golf
We played on Tuesday with a 730 t-time and was very pleased with the pace of play. It was such a good time that I had my wife come up and we stayed at the resort for two nights and played again on Wednesday.

Fun Course but Slow
Took 5 hours behind a five some, nobody around to do anything about it. Also the two some behind us hit into us twice as we waited for the green to clear.
Course was in reasonable condition but a lot of unfixed ball marks on the green.
top notch
This course is a top play. It is in great condition and well kept. We will add this course to our regular rotation.
