Hard greens

Golf course in excellent condition the only bad it’s that the greens are very slow, you don’t want to get use to it if you don’t play here often

Watch out for trees

Call me a clown who can’t hit the ball straight but I personally think they need to invest in staff to trim the trees. i’m a fairly average golfer and usually have no problem hitting the ball straight but I found on a lot of holes there would be large tree branches overhanging the fairway. Maybe that’s course design and maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be but I personally did not enjoy seeing my ball drop from branches when i was hitting good balls.

Don’t play Saturday afternoons

The local men’s club plays Saturday AM. Meaning that the course is ALWAYS backed up that afternoon. Plan on delayed tee times and no carts available in the PM. Also, take a free drop if you hit your ball in a bunker. They’re unplayable.

Walked

Good layout, Nice staff, needs some TLC

First, I rated the Off-Course amenities as Fair, just because right now there is no driving range available. There are some decent short game areas for practice and warmup. Overall, it's a very good round for the money, and Kevin and his staff are very good. The course itself is a pretty nice layout. I have been playing here occasionally since the mid-1970s and have seen it in better shape, but for an affordable round on a very walkable course, it's as good as anything in the San Diego area. Greens are above average. There are some areas that are in need of TLC, such as some of the tee boxes and some patches of fairway, but they're not a major problem.
