FIX THE TEE BOXES!!

The course has better than expected greens, they are a bit slow but overall a smooth roll. The tee boxes are what is holding this place back, it is impossible to find an even lie. Fairways are decent but the rough is patchy crab grass which puts a great demand of making the fairways. Good thing is there is no one playing it so I never had to wait to take a shot.

9 in just enough time.

Great course if you want 9 holes at a reasonable pace. Some days 18 holes is just not doable.

First Time Playing

Not a great course

The course in in fair condition. It is very short. They had a bunch of groups of 5 people ahead of is so it was extremely slow. They also have soccer golf there and they play right on the course and that slows things down even further. I would not recommend this course unless you are a beginner with no expectations.

Don't expect much

We were very shocked to find dogs running around the course, kids riding their bikes through the fairways, a few dumpsters on one of the holes, unraked sand traps, and teenage kids playing soccer golf at the same time we were. We felt it was a good course to practice our driving and putting, greens were a bit tricky at some of the holes.

First time there

Always a little envoy at a new course but turned out well we were a twosome but got paired up which I'm not a fan of. It was busy and that seems to be the way it is at most courses

Staff was on the job! Professional. Helpful. Responsive.

The course was playable. The drought was reflected in the fairways yet not hard pan. Greens were in good shape. There should be more reminders to golfers to repair their ball marks on the greens. The water cart is always timely and the driver is always very courteous. The value is SUPER! I love National City Golf Course. It allows me to date my wife and play golf at the same time.

best golf for your buck

You can't beat playing golf for 6 bucks ☆ their range could use a little maintenance but overall its a good golf course for beginners intermediate and advance golfers the green could use a little bit of slope like the 1st hole and 7th holes

great bang for the buck

Look, if your warming for Bandon Dunes, this is not your track. If you are looking for a good place to hit a few balls to a decent putting surface, you're in luck. I've been playing here for years. For barely more than the price of a bucket of balls, you can actually play for a while. Enjoy.
