Cow Pature Golf

While the course was suffering from all the recent rain, it didn't look like it would be that much better in dry weather. Fairways are a mishmash of various grasses and bare ground. Sand traps hadn't been raked for a long time and were either blown out or had standing water. Greens were decent, although recently sanded so hard to tell how well they rolled. We bailed after 9 holes.

Bad

The group ahead of us were filming on the course acting like good good or something. We called it in and nothing was done. No mention of sanded greens, restaurant closure, or flooded fairways in the pro shop. The staff was nice but I’m glad I only paid $18 on a hot deal for today. Not what it used to be.

Expensive for condition of the course. Signature hole had sand on the majority of the tee box. Greens were in excellent condition.

The course is in great condition but it’s still drying out form previous rain storms. Therefore, it was cart path only on all holes played.

Playing the swamp

I don't know why they were even open, many of the fare ways had standing water and it was cart path only so you had to walk through extremely soaked areas. It was not golf and not fun for me or the out of state visitor from Ohio I was paired with. I was considering contacting the course manager and ask for a comp round when the course is in better condition.

Complete Trash

Don't waste your money. Not worth half of what they charge. Absolutely no drainage. Puddles and marked of area taking up 70% of fairways. Hidden water/mud you'll loseyour shoe in. And retards who take 15 minutes to hit their ball to top it off. Couldn't pay me to play here again and i used to love the course.

Totally water logged

Course was not really playable. Fairways had puddles everywhere. Wish I didn’t play. Who wants to pay for cart that can’t leave the path and trudge through mud with the wrong club and try to find their ball amongst the 1ft high rough scattered with plant debris?

Feel ripped off

Played on the 31st and was VERY disappointed with the condition of the course. Many of the fairways we unplayable due to standing water, paid 24.00 for a golf cart when it was cart path only and ruined a good pair of golf shoes. Golf shoes are designed to be water repellent not water proof and there was too much swampy water. I've played there lots of times, really enjoy the course but it should not be open for play until there is no standing water in the fairways.

It's a wet winter in San Diego - course is soaked

The rains stopped 10 to 14 days ago, but the course is saturated. There are palettes being used as bridges from the cart path to the fairway. There's casual water on many holes.

The greens were in good shape and the rough, not surprisingly, was growthy, as it's nearly impossible to mow.

Don't wear your good shoes. This was Jan 27 and more rain was expected Jan 29 and 30 and again later in the week. These wet conditions should persist into March at least.

Nice cuorse but waterlogged

I really like the layout. Many tricky holes.

Good value .

Unfortunately right now the back 9 is unplayable. So much boggy ground. You even lose balls in the middle of the fairway and the rough is long because they can't cut it , the grounds too soft to run the mower over I would imagine.

wet course

Course should be closed for a week, so much water and muck, you are lucky to hit the ball without a splatter of mud on yourself. Middle of the course in the fairways was worse than the rough, so soggy.

Soggy bottom boys

Not really playable at this time. Too much water on course.. should have closed temporarily. This course has drainage problems in normal conditions appears groundskeeper got overruled. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to course.conditions down the road. Ounce of prevention, pound of cure. . Anyway wear a beater pair of spikes leather. My partners wore tennis style and were soaked. Wait to play and before you do ask someone coming off 9 or 18 about conditions before you pay.
