Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course

This was only the second time playing there and it was another great day. Except for the course being a little over watered in a few spots, it was in great shape. Well, all but the tee boxes. I’d say half were a mix or grass and bare sand. Not ideal. And though there are no rakes in the traps, I observed a grounds worker raking a trap. Kudos to the course.

First time playing course in 5-6 years, it is every bit as good as I remember.

Keep up the good work!

Great course to work on your short game. Tee boxes in bad shape. Greens slow but held nicely. Funoverall.

I've never golfed here before, but this is a great executive course and I really enjoyed it.

Upon arrival we were told that we could not check in or pay until 10 minutes before our tee time so we waited outside until then. Then we were informed that the $30 per person didn’t include a cart and that woul be$20 extra. Then as we were getting ready to tee off the same rude woman ran out and screamed at our friend telling him that he had to return his little water cooler back to his vehicle. Mind you it was 95 degrees out that day and they offered no alternative. Then on green #1 we found out that all the greens were just punched.

Which was never disclosed to us prior to booking. If you being treated rudely and paying $50 for an executive course then that’s your place. If not go elsewhere.

I played with two gentleman I had never met before and we had a great time. The course played fair and the greens are coming back nicely. Plus, it took less than 3 hours. Sweet!

The previous reviews were correct that the tees are pretty bare but that can be solved by putting your ball on a tee. (If you like to drop your tee ball on the grass, this is not the place for you.) The greens were in decent shape and most seemed to be fixing their ball marks. All in all, a nice place to work on your shorter irons.and wedges. Perfect if you're short for time. While there are two short par 4's, calling this an executive course is stretching the term as I understand it.

I got a hot deal for $16 walking. At $50 mid-day, I would think twice about the value proposition.

We happened upon this course using Golf Now and were so pleasantly surprised!! The staff was so friendly and we were on the course promptly at our scheduled tee time. The pace of play was perfect...not rushing the group ahead of us and we weren’t rushed from behind.

The course was well taken care of and so beautiful.

We have found a treasure and will definitely be back!!

Morning started off pretty cool for end of summer conditions at 55° at 8 ish am. By the time we were done, it was about 95° and the sun was definitely settling in for the day.

Considering covid, the place in general could use a tidy up. Tons of neglect from the office (beer boxes on floor, dust in corners of ceiling, cob webs, and just not presentable). A fair bit of neglect on the sun baked course with a ton of traffic running through it with little upkeep from the grounds crew. Greens are softish but damaged and a bit diseased on some.

Tee boxes are pretty uneven and should be leveled. Bunkers never raked but, we went out earlier in the day.

I didn’t see more than one grounds keeper or green crew guy. That has to change. The starter and marshal were really happy and fun guys. Never caught their names but, you can tell they love to play and believe the place can be good again.

I can say I’ll probably come back some day because it’s not an overly hard front 9, followed by a very narrow 10-12, and some more technical / fun holes on the back. It’s a fun place to play.

Long story short, you can tell this place had its golden days a few years back. It has opportunity to be one of the better courses in Escondido with stiff competition all around.

I’ll be back.

If you looking for a fun and quick 18 to walk this is the course for you. Lomas Santa Fe is one of my favorite executive golf courses ever played. The only improvement I would make is improving the tee boxes which have been overplayed and not replanted.
