Course Highlights
San Vicente's fast, true greens with rolling slopes and strategic elevation changes consistently impress golfers as among the best in San Diego. The well-regarded course layout, excellent bunkers, and smooth pace of play make it outstanding value.

Rating 73.7

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.

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

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.

Great course, well kept greens. A few tight fairways between complex and roads, but not bad for any level player.

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.
