Rough

Great pace, great price. Lots of leaves n other debris on greens. Maybe get a guy walking around with a blower to help smooth up the greens?

Greens are SLOW but fun round

Fun layout and super quick pace but not the greens... Maybe their lawn mower for the greens was broken, but these greens were slow and more than 1 cup was not cut properly but I had fun smashing some puts in!

Better than ever

The course has undergone some very serious repairs this year. The walking bridge has been replaced to the first tee box, the netting for the driving range has seen lots of patching, and the greens have also had their scars repaired. I'm eager to return as this course is one of the best values in the region.

Great but terrible condition

Played this course a few times over the last three or four months and it’s great except for the condition of the actual course itself. The tee boxes and the greens are absolutely terrible condition. Putting on the greens is like no other course - literal carpets where the balls are bouncing all over the place. Half of the tee boxes are sand and not even level ground. I know the course is offering memberships now so this may improve cash flow and hopefully course conditions but somehow the overall condition of this course has gotten worse and worse the past few times I’ve played. I’ll still play again, fun course with a nice layout and can’t beat the value nowadays but the greens and tee boxes are just absolutely terrible

Well priced for the course

As long as they don’t get expensive I’ll keep coming back. Fairways and greens(slow) are pretty well maintained.

Chaos Before Golf

There is no way to get to the first tee. Seriously. The bridge was washed out almost two years ago and has not been replaced. Instead, there is goat trail through a dry creek bed which must be navigated to make the tee box. The creek bed is lined with boulders and sand so navigating a pull cart is quite exciting. The morning we arrived some fool thought he could drive a cart down the trail and flipped it into the bed. Thankfully he wasn't hurt too bad. No signs warning walkers or cart drivers. i'm surprised a lawyer doesn't stand by the path at all times to sign up clients. Add to that that there is a regular group which monopolizes the first 45 minutes of available tee times and add to that the reservation system is so antiquated that all the tee times were double booked. A complete chaotic mess getting off the first tee. The course itself is fun, well-kept and moves well considering how much use it gets. The greens are a bit slow but in good shape and true. Hector's bloody marys are always welcome after hole 2. Hopefully they fix the bridge and invest some money on the front end.

Used cart

'Okay' course, not the friendliest staff members

This was my second visit to this course, and both times the staff left a lot to be desired.

On my first visit, we were told there weren't any golf carts available, despite seeing several unused ones. Later, another staff member (who overheard the initial interaction) informed us that the front desk staff had allegedly reserved carts for friends, leaving none for paying customers. He apologized and mentioned he'd speak to management, but the damage was done.

My second visit, on Father's Day, was no better. The front desk staff member displayed a clear lack of enthusiasm. His unenthusiastic demeanor was evident when he announced over the intercom for "free rounds in exchange for help setting up." This suggested a strong desire to minimize his workload. Renting clubs and a cart felt like an unwelcome chore for him.

While we appreciated his attempt to keep the line moving before our tee time, it offered little comfort. The group behind us practically tailgated us, nearly hitting my wife. To top it all off, he repeatedly announced my last name incorrectly over the intercom. Despite my corrections, he simply responded with "whatever" on multiple occasions, demonstrating a complete lack of professionalism.

Would I return for a third try? Only if there were absolutely no other courses available in the Chula Vista area. While the course itself offers unique challenges and decent maintenance, the consistently unfriendly staff significantly detracts from the overall experience.

Solid course, poor greens

Overall pretty decent course. Fun holes and plays pretty quick. Greens are carpets which ruins a solid putt. Good price for walking, with the cart it feels a little pricey.

Dissapointing

Super slow pace of play, homeless people riding their bicycles up and down the course, waiting behind two groups at every tee box.
