Good course
As long as this course is 40 or less I’ll play it . The course is in pretty good shape . Greens are very nice . Slow play is the only problem but for 40 bucks it’s all good.

Update the GolfNow course description!
There's only one course. Driving range doesn't exist. Judging by the weeds covering both, there are not recent developments. Reality is, it's a tired facility. Greens are large and in decent shape, except for the ballmarks that no one repairs. Pace of play was okay. Played here only because I was staying downtown San Diego and wanted something nearby. Given the same circumstances, I would try another course in the future.

Hello, We do have a driving range, a small one, but a driving range. It is irons-only. We are sorry that your experience was not as expected.

Thank you for making your first visit with us. We are sorry you didn't have a better experience. We hope you will try us again in the future.
Horribly overbooked, very rude starter, 5 1/2hr round
Had to wait 30mins for a dirty golf cart. Starter(Amin?) is the rudest employee I've ever encountered at a golf course. 2:45pm tee time couldn't finish(darkness) after 5 1/2hrs due to overbooking. STAY AWAY!
