One of the best public courses in SoCal!

The condition of this course is great! Not great for being a public municiple, just great regardless. I ated like dog water, but it wasn't because of the course conditions lol.

Crappy Condition

This isn’t a course I could recommend to anyone who plays on a regular course. The fairways are crappy and the greens fair. To charge $20.00 for a cart that was in crappy condition for 9 holes is criminal. Surely you can do better than this.

You get what you pay for

Good course for a quick 9 and last min tee time. That said very unorganized. They never have carts available and don't do a great job in scheduling tee times so plan on being here n the course an extra 30-45 min from what you normally play.

Spontaneous tee time availability is very convenient

Unlike most golf courses in the city or county, National City Golf Course is great for last minute same day online booking or walk on tee times. Especially if you just want a quick 9-hole round.

System booked wrong t time

I booked a t time for Saturday 4/2. When I recieved the confirmation it showed Thursday 3/31. I then had to book a 2nd t time for Saturday 4/2. The system would not let me cancel the wrong t time. How do I get a refund?

Fun course too expensive for non members imo

My favorite course to get a quick round in although with the recent price hikes I kinda feel it’s better to just play a full 18 somewhere for a little more money. Pace of play is hit or miss especially on weekends, course tends to attract beginners or people that have no respect or business being on a golf course. The members are regulars are an awesome crowd and like a 2nd family. But overall the course is in great shape so that goes a long way.

Good for junior golfers

Awkwardly short par 4s with greens tucked behind corners. Slow flat greens are beginner friendly. Bunkers are worst I’ve ever seen. Ball washers rotted out and full of cigarette butts. I only paid $10 so I got what I paid for.

This is a goat track

I wouldn’t pay more than $15 to play this course. It’s a fun short layout. But patchy grass and a dirt driving range leaves much to be desired

T.P.C. National City

Great 9 hole course and cheap. Friendly staff and players, very laid back and a fun mix of par 3/4s and even a 5. During the week you can get 9 holes in on foot in 1.5 hrs or so. Definitely gets backed up on the weekends sometimes because of so many casual/beginner type players but as long as you know what you’re getting into and have a Freddymary or two you will enjoy yourself.
