Welk Resort San Diego - Fountains Executive Course

I got an obscene hot deal for 10 bones that I couldn't refuse!
The course was was busy and had to wait on every shot but finished in 3 1/2 hrs. The Fountains was in awesome shape with the the greens running pretty slow but beautiful. My only complaint besides my sorry score was the noise. They are building more condo's overlooking the 5th fairway so it should be loud thru the summer. There was also a guy yelling thru a bullhorn for some event that lasted my whole round. Great price, Beautiful, fun course and plenty of free noise! 2 out of 3 ain't bad!

Had a nice day in a lovely setting . only used a fairway wood once ,so course is good for short game practice and play can be slow with non golfers giving it a vacation go. RESORT area is lovely and nice selection in the pro shop . Just have fun ,BUT DON'T EXPECT TO BE CHALLLENGED

The course is green. The greens are well maintained. Played on Fountains.

Course was well groomed. We teamed up with another two some when we started our t-time at 8:15 AM on Sunday March 24 and had an enjoyable time. Many golfers out on the course but the speed of play was well monitored by the course Assistants. The entire experience was very positive except for some of my pitch shots. Club house Associates very courteous and the starter attendant had a good attitude. Keep the momentum going!

But the player in front of us, was walking and playing 5 balls per green. SO how is that right??

Nice executive course to play, some holes are challenging. The greens are in good condition. The fairways on the front 9 need some attention but ok for the time of year.

Have played course many times, very nice, though sometimes plays a little slow

my t time at 1;12 was overbook i had a t time for 3 we could not play because they was overbook so we play bihind a group of 8 all togueather they chrarge me for two and said for me to get my money back from you because we pay you not them so i hop you will reinverse me for the other player that was not able to ply and i dont know if was you or them who did the overbook

I love this course, i dont feel like im at home every time I play here.its like im vacation.

The Fountains is a great Executive course. One of the best in San Diego County.

I got a screaming deal from golfnow. It was a drive from Carlsbad but has some fun holes. I was in a cart and felt out of shape when a 80 year old women was walking the course behind me. Watch out for the big rocks

I liked this course a great deal. It is a resort and as a result, there are many people playing the course. So there are 5 to 10 minute waits per hole. If your playing with people who can drive it far, you really need to make certain everyone is off the fairway, as these are only 3 and 4 par holes. Nice pro shop and good happy hour on the 19th hole.

Greens were very well kept. One of the best executive courses I've been to.

This is a fun executive course where most golfers can pull out the big dog on several holes or layup and hit a pitching wedge. Play is a little slow due to the nature of the course where you need to wait for the group ahead to leave the green before teeing up. But if you can get a deal on the price it is a great value. (We played for $10 each includung a cart which is a lot more fun than going to a driving range.)

Par 3s long from the blues. Greens in good shape. Grat place to practice 2nd shots.

Ideal for my day. Completed round in a little over three hours.

I used every club in my bag on this course, just like the starter told me I would. The only thing I didn't like is there wasn't a range to warm up. It was an net with turf and tee. Good green to warm up on. Pace was fair. The halfway house was pretty crummy. Not much of a snack selection. Course was well maintained and fun to play on.

This is a small but well maintained course, the staff is mostly older ladies and gentlemen that remember what customer service is supposed to be. Not in your face, but courteous and helpful. Great value for the money. Will play there again.

The Fountains Course at the Lawrence Welk resort in Escondido is a great place to get some practice in because it is usually maintained pretty well and it, as a whole, isn't all that challenging. Thought it wasn't in the best of shape when I played it yesterday, I still feel that this course provided a valuable experience.

I would recommend this course to anyone who is fairly new at the game or someone who may just want a quick practice round at a course that will allow him to use a variety of clubs. The par 3s are between 140 and 220 yards from the farthest tees and the rest of the holes (all of which are par 4s) are either drivable or slightly out of range from the tee. There are a couple of ponds you'll have to worry about, but for the most part the course is rather forgiving.

The thing that I did find difficult during this round was the pin placements. It seemed that many of them were placed on a sloped part of the green so many of my missed puts and chips were sent 5-10 feet from the hole. Other than that, the course provided a pretty laid-back experience and allowed me to work on some fundamentals without worrying too much about obstacles or obstructions. Don't expect this to be Pebble Beach, but the course is fun. I wouldn't recommend paying over $20 for it so keep that in mind before you reserve your tee time.

There has been no overseeding of the fairways and the green's on the front are in need of maintenance. The pace was slow and the ranger's were never seen trying to improve the pace.
