By far the worst corse in San Diego

Do not play at this course. Only course I’ve seen with marshals here and for what point. Waited an hour past my playing time to start. Was only able to play 5 holes till both mine and my friends cart died. Terrible course conditions please save your money and go somewhere else.

First time but also last

Incredibly overpriced for the course play. Everything was scapegoated to the previous rain. This would include our near half hour delay as sixteen, 16, of their golf carts were not working. As you can imagine this drastically slowed and crowded the course. Much more bang for your buck on other courses.

Not worth it

I am far from picky when it comes to playing different golf courses. I will never play here again. It has potential but is so poorly kept it ruins the experience

Poor time management

Booked a 215 tee time didn’t tee off until 3. Was told there was a tournament this morning that took 5 1/2 hours and they were backed up. They do tournaments seemingly every Saturday yet every Saturday the course is backed up. Feel like they should manage those times better or just not book on tournament days. Did not get to finish my round due to the 45 minute delay

Needs Improvement

Tee times always back up, 20 to 30min waiting period to wait for carts.

Need to invest more cart and manage tee times better

Good value

Considering the rain, course has survived well. Beware of the "grand canyon" about 200 yards up on hole #2.

Hadn't played here for almost six years and prob won't again

Course is in terrible shape. Terrible tee boxes and even worse greens. Every putt was bumpy and sandy. We got our second golf cart at 12:27 for a 12:30 tee time. Just had all the feels of a course who knows it's on the to becoming condos or a salt mine. Sad really!!!

Hi Carl, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience. We try our best to mitigate the effects of big storms, but it can take time for the mud to dry up. Have a good day.
