Cottonwood Golf Club - Ivanhoe Course

Tee time just after 4. Hoped to complete the round as a single. Sadly the pair ahead of me intentionally played 2 balls every hole, and the 4-ball ahead of them were slow. Got to the 9th at 6:35 and headed to the car - (2 and a half hours later).. Aside from that, a nice course and good value for money if the pace was improved.

Nice staff keep out of rough or add a stroke the owners are really trying bbn to get course in shape. Greens rolled great.

First time back since COVID. Very surprised at the great conditions all around. Tee boxes, fairways, greens were the best I’ve seen compared to most South Bay courses. Carts are old, range is lacking but for the price and conditions, by far the best.

Definitely will return. Surprisingly no blue tees. Either white or black. I think it’s their way of speeding up play since most will be intimidated to play blacks.

Very pleased. Will return for sure.

The sand is actually playable unlike many local courses during COVID. Nice greens, fairways, and tee boxes. The rough is penalizing. The only knock on this course is the lack of a marshal to keep people at a decent pace. 2.5 hours per nine is frustrating to me. Mostly due to players not playing ready golf or not understanding the concept of ready golf. Maybe it’s a weekend thing?

I really like this course. The price is right and the course is in great condition. Greens are smooth and consistent from hole to hole. Fairways are also very consistent. Very minimal bald patches on fairway. Very gofer friendly for the most part too.

On weekends, your tee time may be pushed back 20-30 minutes due to carts not being available. Not sure if they have a shortage of carts, they just take longer because they need to be disinfected or a combination of both. The good thing about this, is that you can have a few $3 draft beers while waiting.

Other than the wait, the course is great. You get some good views as well there. I paid $38 for a 2:52 tee time on a Saturday with a cart. This course feels more like a $65 course. I really enjoy playing here. I think it’s the best deal in south San Diego in my opinion.

Fairways and greens are in really good shape and price to play was just right.

Course was so backed up I almost got into a fight cause people wouldn't stop hitting into us as we are waiting for the group ahead to clear the green. Took an hour and 45 minutes to tee off on hole 4.

I had a tee time at 1:22 and the pace of play was so slow by the time we were able to tee off on 4 it was almost 3:30.

If you are not on the early bird times don't go.

I've feed off here at 7:30 am and have had no problems. Any time after 11 you better bring plenty of beer to drink while you wait more than you golf.

First time at this course. Enjoy very much how open it is. Staff was very friendly.

I love so much cottonwood golf course. The green fee is really so lovely.
