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.

Love this course!

If you want a nice atmosphere or friendly staff and overall good course layout for any type of player, look no further than Cottonwood.. I’ve played this course about 6 times now and it’s still a great time with the boys
