Painfully slow pace of play but friendly staffs

It took about 5 hours to finish the round. No sign of Marshall anywhere. Horrible.

Good course and layout for a reasonable price

Overall this was a very good course. Driving range was rough but sufficient to get warmed up. Looking at some of the other comments from people who expect country club conditions with public course prices. It was a very enjoyable round and the staff were very helpful. I will definitely play here again.

Goat track

Tee boxes not level. Horrible fairways, similar to riding a golf cart over railroad ties where there was grass. Too bad, as could be a good course if some money put into it.

Meh

Showed up 45 minutes early to try to get some range warmup in. Was told they are all out of balls and had to close the range. Facility in general wasn’t well taken care of, complete with the decrepit old driving range with no nets on the left side of the first hole that I promptly sliced my ball into. Cart girl slowed pace of play by about 30 min by wanting to take a celeb shot for every grow up she gave a drink to. Probably won’t go back again

The course I've been looking for

I've been in San Diego for about 8 months and have been looking for this type of balance between price and quality on a golf course. Without naming any names I've played about a dozen courses in the area that not only cost way more but are equal or less quality in some cases. I will be making more tee times here in the future. The one draw back was pace of play was a little slow but nothing you wouldn't expect on a public course.
