Fabulous Course to work on your irons

It's a great course, well marked, and it has a neat restaurant for the 19th hole. Just be careful of bees around hole 10. I guess since it's spring, they're out and about. The course gives you opportunities to hone your irons, PW & a few opportunities to flex your driver skills. Had a great round. Will definitely return when I visit San Diego.

Great little coarse for tuning up the short game…

Played this coarse many times and it’s always fun. It was in good condition and the greens were in great shape. Very easy to walk and play in 3 hours.

Nice condition!

The course is in good shape and the greens are very nice. Some tee boxes need help but overall a nice day of golf, we finished 18 in under 3 hours on a reasonably busy day.

A Walk in the Park

Walked 18 holes in 2 hours and 10 minutes with no delays. Only downer was no kitchen help to cook a hot dog. SMEC is the best deal in town.

Leaf pile dump

Large piles of leaves were dumped just short of the 251 yard 18th hole green in a manner that caused maximum difficulties for players. The leaf piles were spread over a large area that was not visible until golfers were close to the green. The chance of finding your own ball around these leaf piles was minimal. I consider this dumping by groundskeepers to be extremely inconsiderate! I believe it would be difficult to cause more problems for golfers on this course than happened that day!
