Cottonwood Golf Club - Ivanhoe Course

This course needs some work. First off, The staff here in both the pro-shop and restaurant/bar were terrific. They were very friendly and showed me where to go. The course is not in good shape at all minus the greens. It was very dry so I understand it’s expensive to water in So Cal but there really was no difference in fairways vs rough and there are dirt patches everywhere. Do not plan on going to driving range as it’s non-existent for the most part. It is a short iron range where it seems you are hitting into a dried-up riverbed.

Most of all is pace of play was horrendous. We teed off at 12:30 PM and at 5:05 still had 4 holes left. I decided to leave as I was at a point close to the clubhouse and the sun was setting. I paid $63 with a cart which was okay but had I paid more I would have been really disappointed.

I have been playing this course for around 50 years. The people there now are the best. Kevin always treats me like a valued customer and even a friend. And the young man Jacob is so respectful and courteous. They make coming to this course very enjoyable right from the start. I'm sure they are a reflection of the rest of the staff. Thank you for providing such a enjoyable experience.

I had a lot of fun playing with

the gentlemen we were paired with. I always enjoy the company of nice people. The only problem we had was a single man who disrupted the flow of play

I have played here for many years. It appears they are running on a shoe string budget. Only the greens are maintained and some are getting pretty iffy. Even the practice green is in terrible shape. No real driving range. It's a shame that a once great course is in this condition.

Last Saturday, I rounded Cottonwood, and when I made a reservation with Golfpass, and it was included a cart in my reservation, but when I checked in, they said the cart was not included and I had to pay the cart fee. This was the first time this happened, unlike when I made a reservation through Golfnow.

Upon arrival I was greet with friendly staff. Order some food and beverages and everything was great.

Course had some rough areas but overall everything went smooth

Grass was spotty in the fairways, just found closest grass to play the next shot. Lots of debris on fairways, greens, and bunkers. Greens were a little bumpy. Price was high for the course conditions, but I would play again as it was still cheaper than other courses in San Diego at the time I played.

The course itself was alright, some hole were in good condition and difficult, but others are very different to the rest and unfriendly. Have a joke of a driving range but if you know how to play golf it’s not a bad golf course.
