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.

Good time

The course was in the middle of over seeding. The fairways were furry, however, the greens were in good shape.
The course was greener than the last time I played there.
We had a good time and finished in less than 4 hours.

Great value

Course was in great condition. The course played pretty challenging but it was fun. Great scenery and weather made it even better. Greens and fairways were in great condition considering we are in a drought. Only problem with this course is that it takes me an hour to get here. Other than that, I will definitely come back.

Good deal on a fun course

The course was in good shape for the most part. A couple of holes on the back had some bare spots in the fairways but the greens were good, a little slow but in good shape.

Good traditional design course

We have played this course twice in the last month. Both times it was in very good shape. Our GolfNow green fees were excellent for a course of this quality.
Greens are in excellent shape and the fairways are good.We likie the traditional style courses like this one. No gimmicks. Just good design.

Excellent Course

I would love to give the course a 5 star rating, however, the pro shop put myself and my buddy with another twosome who was on their 4th day ever golfing while our handicap is around 5-9. The course is great, but the experience was a disaster when you are teamed up with newbies that spend 3 hours on the front 9. As many golfers know, when you can't keep a speed of play, your game is impacted. My advice for the pro shop is spend a little time making sure people are teamed up properly to insure a better experience for everyone.

Pleasantly surprised by course.

Very fun and nice challenge. Some of the best fairway grass. Rewarded for good shots and tough recovery for poor shots. Greens in good shape, a little slow but ball rolls true. Front desk help was not helpful but overall course made that easy to overlook.

Beautiful condition and setting

One the best maintained and beautiful courses in San Diego.The greens are 9.5. The fairways are green and lush.The bunkers well maintained, but could use more pure white sand.
We saw a family of wild turkeys on the back nine.
Pro shop personale friendly and appreciate your business.
