A hidden gem North of San Diego!

My son got a recommendation to play this course from a friend. I made the 1 hour drive up based on his input - am I ever glad I did! Native Oaks is nestled in a valley just outside Escondido - you don't know it's there until you literally pull up to it.

I'm a 69 year old average (15 handicap) golfer who doesn't hit it a mile and this course was perfect for my game. The white tees play around 5900 yards and were a perfect distance for me.

The greens were the highlight of the round - running around 11 mid-week, soft and putted true - can't ask for anything more than that! The variation of holes was welcoming - the front 9 was designed 5 years ahead of the back 9 so they play very differently - the front is more forgiving, the back tighter and more penalty-driven for errors made, particularly on approach shots. The front is more of a links style and the back traverses woodlands and trees on every hole.

The staff, from Tom in the pro shop to Jim the starter to the snack bar people, were extremely friendly and made you feel welcome. Full bar service and good food in the Shawii kitchen! I would highly recommend

NATIVE OAKS ROCKS!!

Native Oaks is a true gem for North County San Diego. I only wish it was closer to the ocean but its worth the drive. The greens are awesome, roll true, and course is excellent. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites since they redid the run. Thank you for a incredible experience!!
