Course Highlights
Cottonwood GC consistently delivers strong value with well-maintained fairways, true-rolling greens, and an undulating layout that challenges shot control. The exceptionally friendly staff makes every round welcoming for both regulars and first-time visitors.

Decent Course, But Very Slow This Day.

First time playing this course. Friendly staff and pretty decent course conditions. But pace of play was bad. 11:52am tee time, on time. Ended round at 5:25pm. Had to wait on virtually every hole. Apparently there was a large group tournament going on in the morning. Marshals tried to speed it up, but couldnt' help much. However, I liked the course and would play again, preferably earlier.

Nice track.

Very nice course for the money. Fast fairways and the greens are in excellent condition. The only issue that I had really was no beverage cart on the course..Not sure if it’s during the week thing or what but it was disappointing. Outside of that I’ll go again and make adjustments.

First 9 holes took almost 3 hours

Seems like each time I play, the pace is gets slower and slower. NOt incremental, but noticeable. But the value is the best in San Diego for me. Price, location, course layout. Really needs the old driving range back, or similar. Nice putting and chipping areas.

Golf with son

Pre-camp golf outing with my son. Round would have been perfect if not for being backed up and very slow.
