Goat Hill Park

i saw 2 100 yard markers on the course the rest is a crap shoot if you dont have a range finder, that and people just walking and cutting in front of us with no notice??

A little harder than I expected. This little course is challenging. Love the elevation changes. There are narrow fairways with small canyon drives. The greens are sloping and makes for interesting putting. The staff are great. It’s a very family friendly and layed back atmosphere. There’s a small area for kids that is nice. For a first time golfer the layout is confusing. Sometimes your teeing up and have to greens in front of you, signage indicates where to shoot for. Overall it’s a good experience.

This was the first time I have played a round of golf at this golf course and was very impressed. When I played last week at another course (Oceanside) the two individuals I played with said " Bring a lot of extra balls," The course was in excellent condition even though I thought the Greens were very fast. I intend to play here again very soon. By the way, I did not lose a single ball and found four balls.

Great course, had some issues on some tee boxes and general directions as to where the next holes are (first time playing here and some signs were either knocked down or not readily visible) but other than that place is great. Pretty challenging but love that they allow dogs. Will definitely come back to play and bring my dog as well!

Layout of course was different from most. Fairways had little grass & lots of dirt, but greens looked like what they should look like. No water holes (which is probably a good thing!). Watched some guys play disk golf which looked like fun!

Booked a tee time with cart for 8 AM on a Sunday . For a smaller layout was expecting the round to be much quicker. They have disc golfers all over , walking on fairways and greens without care of golfers and hold up the actual golf. The staff does not regulate tee times and golfers jump on front and back messing up the flow even more . Nice course and fun to play but shouldn’t take 5 hours

Made a journey down south to play Goat Hill Park. Have been wanting to check this place out for a while, and after seven weeks of nothing but putting practice I booked the first tee time that fit my schedule.

I have to say, the course more than lived up to my expectations. With no carts for rent, it was a challenging walk (it’s not callled Goathill for nothing), but not the worst. Every hole was challenging, but rewarding if you hit good shots. I struggled with the driver - big slice, but iron game was on, and I hit some of the best chips and pitches ever. Putting, well let’s just say these greens broke a lot more than my carpet, but nothing over a 3 putt. But I hit a few greens in regulation and made a super satisfying par on 18 with my best up and down ever!

End result, 99 - I broke 100 for the first time ever!!! Last year on Father’s Day I played 18 for the first time and stopped counting after the 12 hole (I added it up 126). To break 100 at that course was extremely satisfying.

The love and attention paid by the management/community is inspiring. Along with Torrey South, must play courses in San Diego. The Goat is golf for the masses. Love those practice greens, range and course. Top marks!!

Was not warned that there was no pins, almost impossible to navigate the course if you’ve never played, without a cart it’s almost impossible to walk. Frisbee golf or is holding a pace of play and getting in the way of most shots. I paid a pretty good rate, but I wouldn’t pay a dollar to do it again

As soon as they get a Bar & Grill I'll be there all the time. Until then its still the Greatest Of All Time for a fun afternoon with friends.

Lots of fun for me not so much for beginners rough lay out and lost balls ...

Was excited to play and support Goat Hill from all I"ve read, but was real disappointed. Despite all the Ashworth charm and intimacy publicity, the course can use simple TLC. Although there was construction for improvements many basics were deficient or lacking. Placement of tee boxes were in areas where it required a jackhammer to place tee in ground. Poor or non-existent tee directional signage made it difficult for this first-timer. When there signs, they were printed Word docs fluttering in wind.No water in ball washers. Dry as a bone as if they had not been filled in months. Really? Can't the maintenance crew make that part of their daily task list? True signs of basic neglect.

Would recommend a cart as walking would be tough for even those in best of shape w/ severe elevation changes between tee to green and long transitions from green to the next tee boxes. A lot of maintenance crew working on the course which I hope the effort equals the results in improved basic course conditions w/o an increase in fees.
