Where is all the water coming from?

As usual this course is generally in good condition. However, this time there were several places that were very wet. My new shoes now have a high water mark on them. :(

Other than that and getting behind the slowest three-some ever the day was very enjoyable. We skipped NO. 6 to bypass the threesome since they were three holes behind when they started No.4. A marshal was needed to move them along.

Good course for value

A great day to play golf. We played 18 holes in two hours without any problems. For a public course (par 3) the greens were in excellent condition! A great value for money. If you enjoy walking, you can cut your green fee in half.

Greens are in excellent condition with enough variation in surface topography to make them fun. Fairways and rough are well maintained.

Not worth it

I played this course several years ago and didn't like it very much. I heard that it was redone and a new club house was built and decided to try to again. The course is in terrible condition the staff was barely friendly and frankly I'd rather pay a little bit more and play anyone of the other beautiful courses in San Diego.

Great Short Course

One of the nicest executive courses I've played at. Great for beginners or anyone looking to get a quick round in. The food there was also very impressive. Highly recommend this course.

Very nice executive course with a few fun par 4 holes. Pace of play can be a bit slow. We had a group of 5 in front of us which you don't see that often. Great place to work on wedge and iron game though.

Little Gem

What a great executive course! Great greens, a nice walk and an incredible value. For barely more than the price of a large bucket, you can sharpen your short game and improve your fitness. Such a great course to walk. Highly recommend!

Poor Customer Service At Check In

Beware at this golf course they try to charge you more than your online agreement. Yesterday I had a tee time for 4 people, we arrived and went to pay, the person at the desk said it would be more than what was on my confirmation, unfortunately I didn't have my phone with me to prove my online agreement. Two employees argued with me about payment, ridiculously they were unable to bring up my confirmation on their computer. I knew I was correct so I had to go home and get my phone, meanwhile our tee time passed. When I had my phone and produced the agreement it turned out I was right. This was extremely poor customer service, we were treated rudely, never got an apology from the staff for them being wrong resulting in a huge inconvenience to my group and unfortunately this is not the first time this has happened. The staff in general has a "could care less about the customer attitude" If I treated customers like this I wouldn't have a job!

We went on to have a very enjoyable round of golf, it was just too bad we had to begin with such an unnecessary hassle.

Best deal in town!!

The new owners of this course have so outdone themselves! It is in great shape and is an awesome little course for practice. The Tap Inn bar is beautiful and the people are so nice. It is my favorite place to practice my short game. Love it!!!
