Not Bad at All

Tee times are so hard to get right now during Covid-19 that I've played this course about 3 times in the last month. The course is maintained pretty good, staff is very friendly, pace of play isn't bad and the course is challenging along the way. Try it if you haven't ~

Recommendable Course

The play pace and course layout are good. I'd like to play again. This course reminds me of most golf courses in San Diego country where rough is tough to get out of it. There are some dirts in the fairway. IF they place "under repair" signs for obviously unplayable areas, I am willing to rate with 5 stars.In particular, rough around greens are not normal where you should make really skillful shots to make a ball onto a green near a pin. Unusually fluffy!!! Poor scores stem from your bad shots, NOT from the course condition. A little challenging course. It is a key to a good score to make your ball land in the fairway, Thoughtful play is required.

Rough, bumpy, and unpredictable

I love the layout and the challenge but the course maintenance leaves a lot to be desired. The fairways and rough were okay for the first 5 holes. Then it changed to a poorly maintained course. I had to switch to a longer T at the T box to have the ball high enough to hit of the Tee. The rough of the fairway was brutal and made it very difficult to see the balls even when you were close by. The most the disappointing thing is that the greens have been so bumpy the last few time I played the course that it is a crap shoot to make a give-me. If the greens had been in better shape I can put up with the rough but not when both are that bad. On top of that they were short on carts again!

Good course

Good course layout but lots of debris of leaves and branches. The rough is thick and overgrown to the point wheee it can be difficult to make good ball contact. Some greens were a bit overgrown which made for slow putts on spongy grass. Some greens were in excellent shape. Some tee boxes mowed great and others weren’t. Some tee boxes were uneven as well. Great course for a quick practice round. Finished in 4 hours on a Wednesday with a 10:30 tee time.

Wednesday midday!

Course is greening up. Greens are still not what they were prior to C19, slow and minimal brake. Rough has been mowed, grounds keepers are making progress.

Staff is always friendly!!!

This is a joke, right?

They can’t be serious with the condition this course is in. We booked it out of desperation to squeeze a round in this weekend. At $59 I figured it would at least be tended to... but I was dead wrong. Greens are AWFUL. Bumpy, fuzzy, and down right impossible to play. Take your two putt and move on. Fairways are so overgrown, they’re basically a rough at any average track. The “rough” is a jungle and a wrist-breaker. Seriously, do not waste your time and money.
