Cheap

The pictures you see here on golf now, aren’t what the course actually looks like, there’s no water tee box, the cart paths are jacked up, ordering food after 3:01 is a no go, carts are horrible some of the oldest in SD county, teed off at 145 didn’t finish the course, there was no Marshall to be found anywhere. They should install some nets on some tee boxes as others are hitting directly at you. First and last time playing this course, better options would be Carlton oaks and Eastlake, for the money national city is better than this place.

Friday Fun

Course is in great shape, very well maintained. Staff is always friendly and professional. Great amenities, a bit dated but well maintained. Pace of play was a little slow at times, but overall about a 4.5 hour round, so not bad. Highly recommend this course for higher handicap players.

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.
