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.

Nice Course
The course is in great shape. The green were really nice. The course layout is really nice. I will play this course again.
Nice course
We were surprise with how busy it was with a 2pm TT, waited on every hole. Course was nice but no Torrey Pines as another golfer had noted. Our cart just about died on the 14th and the Pro shop had a replacement out to us before we got to our tee shots.
Best kept secret!
Do me a favor and stay away from this course so I can have it all to myself! Super friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful course in great condition. Challenging layout. Wonderful surroundings. San Vin has it all.
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.
HIDDEN JEWEL
ONE OF THE BEST COURSES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY < I HOPE TO PLAY IT AGAIN BEFORE I LEAVE TO GO BACK HOME.
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!
Great course bad vibe
Fun rewarding course. I would come back more often if the prices were slightly lower and the staff was friendly. During check in the starter asked "is this your first time playing here?" I said "yes it is" and he didn't say anything accept ask for money..... After one hole the starter came up to us and told us to keep up pace even though the group behind us wasn't even close. He also paired us with some locals who just took off on us and didn't say a word. I loved this course but felt like an outsider the whole round.
Is very scenic
Enjoyed playing
Everyone was very friendly
Will visit again
Good course
I played in the early afternoon and the wind was up but the course was in great shape and the wind added to the challenge. Good food in the restaurant
worth the drive
My only complaint is that this course is hard to get to from almost anywhere but you'll be rewarded for the effort. Except for Torrey Pines I haven't seen this much green grass on any course all year. The greens are lush and healthy and run faster than they look. The course was designed by Ted Robinson so you know the layout is going to be good. I wish it were closer to home. I'd be playing there a lot..
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.
we'll be back
3rd time I've played here.
Well worth the 45 minute drive from central San Diego.
Didn't have a bad lie all day, greens were superb.
Pace of play was excellent on a Sunday afternoon.
One of my favorite courses in SD county.

Beautiful course in the San Diego foothills.
Beautifully maintained fairways and greens. I'm not a snowbird, but if I was, this would be my spot. Great bar and restaurant compliments the resort facilities.

Wow!
Very impressed and satisfied with our experience at SV. My buddies and I had so much fun playing here. The course layout is very inviting and mostly wide open fairways. I say mostly because there are a number of blind, dogleg, and water features to contend with. Course knowledge definitely helps on a few holes, but for the most part it's just grip it and rip it! The conditions are superb though. Lush, green fairways that are actually soft and spongy. Smooth, well kept greens that run a little slow. Ideal weather on the day we played. The only negative of the round was the group we were stuck behind. Actually, the one guy in the group who had the most ridiculous, slow, and pointless pre shot routine waggle that was as comical as it was annoying. He still sucked too. Besides that a near perfect day at an awesome course. Go play and see what I mean.

great track
Course in excellent shape great weather. Nice location was charged twice not certain if course or golf now problem.
Surprising disappointment
Aside from my friendly and golf ready 4-some, we waited on practically every shot. The course was very crowded and may have been overbooked....combined with some very very slow players with open holes ahead of them...there were no Marshal on the course...it all resulted in a very long and frustrating day. I will never play here on a Wednesday afternoon again.
Very nice course
Nice course with friendly staff. The course is in very good condition though the greens do tend to be on the slow side. This course is out of the way but worth the drive. You will enjoy this course and you will put it in your rotation of courses to play on a regular basis.

Golf
Beautiful, long course. I would golf there again. The course was a great value.
great first experience
Extremely slow round for late AM Friday, 5 hours+ (akin to a weekend). However, course was in great shape, it was a beautiful day, and I made some birdies and shot a good round. Definitely a scoreable course if you make some putts.
Slowest pace ever
Waited 45 min to tee off on hole 10. No one in the clubhouse seemed to care.
I love this course
It was a perfect day for golf and the condition of the course was very good. I haven't been there in a while and am very impressed with all the improvements that have been made both on the course and in the clubhouse. I look forward to going again soon. Although the pace of play was a little slow, there was a tournament and it was a Sunday afternoon. Didn't have to wail much on any hole. Not much sand in the bunkers.
slowest game of golf ever
the first nine wasn't too bad it had normal wait times but the back 9 was horrible the residence of Ramona Esstates kept driving into the course and jumping on the holes I started at 2:00 and called it quits after 16 holes at 6 o'clock
