Welk Resort San Diego - Fountains Executive Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Fountain is one of two 18-hole golf courses at the Welk Resort San Diego. The other course, the Oaks, is an 18-hole, par-3 course that is great short-game practice for all skill levels. Although the Fountain is an executive-length course, it is as formidable as most full-length golf courses. Even low handicappers will be tested by the narrow layout, which covers a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. In addition to a slew of strategically placed bunkers and trees that demand accuracy, water hazards also come into play on a few holes. There are many risk-reward opportunities throughout the course where good strategy will reap many benefits. The golf course has some tricky holes but it is not overly punishing, making it more approachable for a wide range of skill levels.

Good Course in great shape.
Took my 6 year old out with me. Perfect for both of us. I was able to use some metal woods and it wasn't to long for my kid.
Very nice
As a beginner this coarse is very fun. I do need to hit my driver straighter through the condos :).
Fun course
A fun course that's not very crowded. As it's the longest executive course in San Diego County, you can expect to use all of your clubs...
Nice Executive course
Course was in good condition, greens had been sanded not too long ago, so not as nice as usual.
Great price using Last Minute Golfer!
The course is well maintained
Haven't played here in years. I was very impressed with the course conditions and the weather was fantastic. I will play again soon and will recommend to my friends.
Not happy
Booked a week in advance and had to wait 45 minutes to even get to the 1st hole. Way too many bookings, they are getting greedy by charging more and making people wait. Have played there for years but won't be going back anytime soon.
Very Slow Play
excellent short course and perfect for short game practice. excellent condition and beautiful views.
disappointed that I had to wait about 5 - 7 minutes in-between each shot waiting on "traffic ahead"
and didn't see a marshal all day.
Family Vacation
My family frequents Welk Resort in Escondido and I look forward to playing the fountains course every time. The staff is very friendly and the course conditions are always top notch.
Long wait
Nice course! Poorly managed. We were on time for our tee time. It took them 45 min to get us on the first tee box.
Great place to play
Greens are in great shape.. the greens keeper should be proud..
Great course
This is a great course, challenging but not to difficult for new players
Love this Course
Such a great facility. Greens are nice. Driver can be used on about 5-6 holes. Awesome area and maintenance.
Average course
What you would expect at an average course. Don't set your expectations too high. You will be disappointed. Sorry just the facts here!!
The Fountains
This was a great course for the average golfer. I hadn't played a round in over 10 years until this most recent review. I walked away from the Fountains with a 92, and I only lost two balls. You will experience a number of sand traps, water and large boulders. The course is green with very few (if any) brown spots. We were a little disappointed because the snack shack at the 9th hole was closed due to a missed shift.
Hidden Gem
A lot of fun and plenty challenging. Great greens and well maintained fairways and tees. Very friendly staff. Will be back again.
Time Out---for a fun day of Golf!!!!
The course was not busy----no one behind us pushing-----the weather could not be better and we finished in about 3 hours and 15 minutes. Not the largest course we have played but this one is definitely the best manicured, and beautiful. The greens had some sand on them due to maintenance but that did not stop the puts. For anyone looking for a great experience at Lawrence Welk Resort from the golf to a beer and burger this is it!!!! Go Play!!!!!
Great golf
The course is in good shape. Play was slow with 5 inexperienced holders ahead of us drinking and being slow. Otherwise a good day
the course is an exelent conditions
greens, fairways, tee boxes carts and staff were amazing
Beautyful course
This course is always in perfect condition and I really enjoy to play here, every time I can !
Fun course
This course is typically suited for vacationers, golfers who aren't really playing to improve their game. Fun course to hone your short game skills if you are an avid golfer.
