Goat Hill Park

Lot's of clever, creative renovation going on here. The property is literally being sculpted into a course that will make Oceanside proud and golfers happy.

5 stars , not for what it is, but for what it is becoming.

First time playing the Goat in my 24th year in SDC/OC. Better late than never!
Very challenging course,, esp the par-3’s, of which there are eight. Tough to pick the right club for the many extreme elevation changes , esp the par-3’s.
Amazingly good pace of play on a Thur morning, esp considering all the par-3’s.
Recommend trying it at least once, but take a cart to save your knees, legs & back!

Pace was slow , no marshals or cart girl.
They let 5somes play i even saw a six some
We left after nine as it was to slow. Hard course
If your a higher handicapper . Very hilly
The staff was great .

Got a Gofnow "Hot Deal" for around $50. I feel like I got ripped off. This course is horrible. I could have played Emerald Isle for half the price and it's better than this 'cow pasture"

I played the front nine, but when I saw the #10 tee all backed up - I just left a wrote it off as a learning g experience.

First time played this course after hearing good things about it. The layout was interesting, lots of up-n-downs. The course is doing things improving the green and rough around. Good value for the money.

If you play golf , you have to play Goat Hill.
Fun course.

Some good challenging par 3's and narrow par 4's that make you leave your driver in the bag. When I arrived to check in, the guy working there barely acknowledged me, kept his head down basically the whole time. Gave me a key and said here you go. That was it! Not really too engaged or friendly.. I was thinking about buying a shirt after the round and some young kid was barely interested in helping me. There was no "hi how are you?" kind of thing going on at this place. Almost like customer barely exists. That was my experience with the staff anyways.

An excellent, straightforward layout. Everything is right in front of you and there is no pretence Pace of play is excellent, no nonsense.

Good: Super chill course, dog friendly, great practice area, ocean views, affordable prices. Surprisingly challenging with all the hills.

Bad: Most cart paths are dirt, shared flags with cramped space, confusing hole arrangements.

Ugly: Course is shared with disc golf. It’s outdated, only 1 par 5. Total par is 65, should be advertised as an executive course. No grill = no food.

Can’t believe this place is charging over $60 for a round. Such a bummer!

I’ve played the Goat for years. It’s always under some form of construction, which has its drawbacks. The rates to play are now $60 with a cart for 18. I feel this quite expensive for what you get. It used to be an inexpensive alternative to other courses in the area, but this is no longer the case. Sad to see the rates climb so disproportionately to the value you get.
