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.

San Vicente Golf
Beautiful golf course and in exceptional condition. Greens were true and it was a great day on the course with my son. I will definitely be back.
San Vicente
Overall good experience. Conditions were good, greens nice but a little slow play
A pleasant surprise
We purchased our tee times for a foursome on Golf Now and had a great experience from start to finish. The course was surprisingly well maintained with beautiful fairways and greens and lovely rural views and atmosphere. There are beautiful vistas and the quiet of a lovely rural course. The course isn't upscale, but every hole is interesting and even off fairway shots find grassy areas for good play. We all loved the course for the money and would recommend it highly if you don't mind a 45 minute drive from suburban San Diego. Give it try, the bar and dining room are very warm and inviting and the food is good.
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.

first time
I was impressed with the layout and the conditions of the course. Paired with someone who has played before and it helped to know the best position to shoot for.

A player friendly course
This is a well kept secret in San Diego. The course is in great shape and the staff is very friendly. For the money a great deal.
San Vicente
First time playing this course. The course was in good condition. There are some challenging holes and you have to think about each shot. The greens were slow but in good condition. The only reason I don't play this course regularly is due to the distance to travel to get there.
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.
love the lay out...plays longer than yardage says
Had a great time...carts were fast..staff was great..greens were fast...and the view fantastic!!..what more could you ask for...
service excellent
I mistakenly left my 8 iiron on whole number 7 continued to play through 18 two groups behind me found and turned it in staff ran up to the parking lot with my 8 iron in his hands just as we were leaving ...they went the extra mile for the customer
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.

Book with Golf Now
Fun course. Can be a challenge w/ wind. I golf here every year in Dec. My Mom lives on the course so it is easy access for me and my brothers. Booking w/ Golf Now gave us 1/2 club house price. If you are looking for upper scale check out Barona Resort. Mt Woodson is close and is a fun track if you enjoy target golf and ball placement.
Interesting challenges
It's an overall challenging track with some nicely laid out defenses that require thought and intentional shots. The greens rolled true with few exceptions, fairways were in ok conditions for the season.
Father-Son
Took my son out yesterday and the course was in great condition. It was a great value and we got all 18 holes in no problem. Fairways were green, while a lot of courses are brown due to drought. We really enjoyed our time and paired up with Lou who was a great guy.
Very nice
The nicest, friendliest no nonsense group ever.
They help in making this place a pleasure to play at.
Played twice 12/22 & 12/24, & impressed with staff. Course is a bit quirky but very interesting. Great value for the money & reasonable food & drink prices as well
A definite recommendation!
Spend your $ were you can actually play golf,not here!
Thursday 12:40 Tee Time Threesome , worst pace , slowest round of golf we've ever played.3 Hours to play the front 9. Went in at the turn and asked the worker at the counter what was going on ,and was told that this was normal for this time of the year? He never even attempted to go outside to speed things along just tried to act like I was crazy. Must of been groups of residents playing that don't care about actually golfing. Obviously the counter boy was to scared/lazy to do his job and correct the problems . Course was flat and unremarkable.Do yourself a favor and go to Woodson if your going to drive out to this area to golf. Spend your golf money were it is appreciated .Never finished,never again!!!!!!!!!
Greens were pretty smooth
Was paired with another single, teed off at 7:15 was done a little before 10. Nice folks here, a foursome let us play thru on 2. Even after some recent rain the course was in in good shape and the greens were rolling nice

NO WARNING
cart path only as they were over seeding, I never play courses when that is going on. The fairway grass was so tall that you could lose the location of the ball by the time you drove up and then walk across to find it. Play was very slow because of the cart path rule. I think that information should be posted especially on the hot deals. dirt sand traps
