Welk Resort San Diego - Fountains Executive Course

This was my first time playing the course, but it wasn't a challenge finding your way like other courses I've played lately. It was a little hot and the sun just beat down on you in that little valley, but still a great day to play.
The overall maintenance of the course was excellent. I really wouldn't say pristine, but it was definitely better than just "maintained".
I was by myself, but saddled behind two foursomes and a threesome behind me that caught up. I didn't mind so much though after the cart girl showed up after 4. The rate of play was still...decent, given the line up.
There are some great views, pretty decent elevation changes, a lot of trees and only a few water hazards. There was a good mix between easy/forgiving fairways and some more challenging/tight fairways.

3 rounds 4hrs, 41/4hrs and 5 hours for a par 61 is a mess

Terrific executive level course. Play is a little slow as they put too many players on at times.

Executive size course in pretty good condition. Enough par 4s to make an interesting round. Good for couples. Nice Pro Shop, friendly staff with some discounts. Okay at 34 bucks through GolfNow.

This is a well maintain course with nice scenic views,and very well maintained,the play is a good pace.I really like the course layout.will be playing here again real soon.

We playthere often It is maintained wll an always enjoy it.
It is a resort but kept well. All people are friendly and helpful.
Even thou it is not a real long course it is a challenge.

Always enjoy the course. Its a fun layout and excellent practice for irons, rescue clubs, and fairway woods. Course is in good shape and well maintained. Biggest problem is slow play due to both a lot of beginners as well as many older players with walking handicaps. Should be given handicap flags for their carts and informed on how to drive up to their balls.

well maintained course good place to play with the fellas or your girl. Can be slow play at times but scenery make it better. but still one of my favorite courses..

All the tee boxes were condendensed to the shortest distance, so that was disappointing. But that is temporary as they were reseeding the other tee boxes.
The fairways and greens were perfect!

The overall course is nice, current conditions were under repair, but not bad. Greens great, a mixed bag of speed conditions on the greens
Normally the full course is a nice round, but not with all the tee boxes set up for only one distance.

This course is under maintenance as it is being reseeded so it's not in the best condition now. But this course is usually very beautiful and scenic. This is one of my favorite courses to play as it is challenging but not too long and can be played normally around three hours. The course is a great deal if you go through Golf Now, in fact Golf Now is the best deal around for any course.

Love this layout! From the first tee it's full of variety and can be deceptively tricky. Being used to "full-length" courses, the position-off-the-tees game is a refreshing change from the 'blast-it and go-look-for-it' layouts favored in Southern Cal. The course is beautifully maintained and the greens are as difficult to read as any I've played. (6 three-putts!). The proshop ware is a little pricey and it's the only 'negative' I can find about this lovely executive-type course. The degree of difficulty is helped by the many elevation changes and grainy greens. But beware of the many older golfers out there! They'll slow you down, but also allow you to enjoy the scenery during waits, so don't be in a hurry to finish, you can be delayed now and then. Usually, though, there's plenty of open times and space on this really nice course! I heartily recommend it!

Really fun executive course. Elevations , water, trees, but not overdone. Great practice for irons. Wife loves the course. The other Welk course, Oaks, is for the beginner but this one, Fountains, is fun.

The course is in good condition however due to the course being an executive course the play should be faster.

This is a great course for beginners yet still fun to play. My wife loves it

I love this course. It's well maintained, the cart paths are in good shape and the greens are excellent. We did happen to choose a very hot day to play, and my wife ended up not playing the better part of the course. For me, it is a mixture of par 3's and 4's that accommodate a golfer whose longest drive is around 220 yards.
I get to play a lot of different clubs and get to switch back and forth between the long game and the short game.
The views are pretty great as well. This oasis in the middle of mountains and wilderness, is very well thought out and the course is designed to capture those views.
Always recommend this executive course to anyone.

The course is well maintained and it's a good course for someone who wants to improve their short game. definitely going back there again.

Very nice course that is very well maintained with nice open fairways and the greens are in very good condition. I would recommend this course to any intermediate players.

I started at 11:30 AM. It was not busy at that time. I was able to play by myself until the last two holes. I caught up with the pair in front of me who were kind a slow until they finally let me play thru. No marshal until the back nine when I've seen him 2-3 times with drinks to sell. I finished in 3.5 hrs.

I love playing this course. Definitely one of the more maintained executive courses around SD. Greens rolled well, fairways are fine, and the tee boxes are average.The staff is consistent regarding customer service. My tee time was mid-week and mid-day so pace of play was as good as I can hope for. It was hot so it was great to see the cart girl pass about 3-4 times throughout the round.
