Great day Good course

Great value pretty good course. Would play again. Friendly staff we were able to get carts despite a 12 o'clock tee time. Pace of play was a bit slow due to many players but course was in pretty good shape. We had fun and would go back.

Worth it

Playing this course for less than $40 riding totally worth it. Greens rolling well, tee boxes in good shape and 90% of fairways in good shape. It's hit or miss with how packed it is but either way usually with the $

Best bang for the buck

Course was in very good condition. For the most part an open layout. Nice green grass in fairways, greens rolled true. Thick rough. Fun varied holes but not overly challenging. Can get busy. Hidden gem

greens too slow

For a public golf course, it was in very good condition. The greens were alot slower than normal. The head on the back was still not open yet due to the covid-19 virus. I would to see the facilities opened up, but I understand the delay. It was windy, but over all I enjoyed the course,

Thank you for leaving a review, David. We appreciate you coming out to play Cottonwood. We have the bathrooms on the golf course closed because we cannot properly sanitize it frequently enough. We are doing everything we can to slow the spread of COVID-19. We appreciate your continued patronage.

slow weekend play

old course run on no budget. employees are trying. condition is fair at best. brutal slow pace of play. solid 6 hours walking on a Saturday afternoon. two foursomes in front of us playing from the black tees and they were all 20 handicap plus. that's not the course's fault but some type of marshal might help. stay away on weekends, but during the week at a good price is worth the walk.

Love this course!!!

We had an epic day playing Cottonwood today. Did I play my best game today? Not at all... but I thoroughly enjoyed every hole. And that should tell yo something, as I’m very connective with myself and my scores. So where is typically be bummed that I shot above my handicap today... I could care less. The tee boxes are in fantastic shape, the greens are near perfect, the greens are a bit hard and fast(which hurt my chip shots a bit), the layout is great though! Super chill course, nice mix of easy and challenging at the same time. They also have 4 different tee off locations for any skill level. My girlfriend needed to play the reds while we played the back tees. The reds are on average 50-70 yards ahead of the white and black tees. She really appreciated this option!

If I HAD TO not pick something... it would be the San traps where all pretty wet and not like hitting out of regular sand at all. But honestly, I could care less. It just added some more data for me to use when I encounter this type of sand later down the road. I enjoyed the challenge. ;)

Much respect and thanx to everyone at Cottonwood Ivanhoe. The course is beautiful and we will be regulars without a doubt! My new favorite place to play in San Diego.

Challenging course if you are not hitting the fairways.

Nice fairways, greens are rolling probably 9.5 to 10. Course is in good shape, sand is covid sand. Pace of play was 5 hours. Tried to get food at the halfway point. They had nothing ready to make the turn. Finished back nine hangry. Carts are optional for 10 bucks only 2 per 4 some. Enjoyed the course.

good value

good value, paid $23 to walk. Not crowded, took 3hours and 45 minutes to walk 18 as a single. the greens were very good for cottonwood, pretty fast. good day and good value. for the price when I spend $12 to hit a large bucket of range balls, the $23 to play is a great value.
