Good value

I enjoyed my time playing. Fun course design. There where some dead patches in fairways and on some greens, but pretty well maintained compared to some of the other courses in San Diego. Did a lot of waiting at tee boxes, especially on the back nine. Would've been nice to keep a steady pace, but overall a great value.

Walked

The Wood

Championship golf course that is affordable. Done a great job on and around the greens as they roll nice and the rough around is cut low. Nice look. This not a luxury resort. The value is in the course, not the amentities. Its walkable as its reasonably flat , has shade trees, and it gets a breeze.. Been in SD a long time and deserves to stay. Support Cottonwood. Were lucky to have such a place.

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.
