First Time Playing

I was staying at a resort in Carlsbad. A friend suggested we play this course and save some money

This course was delightful. I was paired with 3 others to make a 4-some. Luckily they had some local knowledge. Pace of play was ok- at 4 pm in the afternoon on Sunday. The par 3s were backed up for some. I really enjoyed the challenge of the water holes. The price was great. I would have paid 5x more at the resort. The practice facilities were really great with areas for pitching, short game and putting. There were not many women on the course but all holes were gettable for me

Great course layout

We loved the course. Driving range was equipped with a trackman. Strange people playing infront of us, started being late and ended up in a fivesome (!) … could have avoided by the starter …

Good but not great

Greens are very healthy but pretty slow.

Bunkers are BAD - most like dirt like you can hurt yourself and other ok but not great! Had 3 different twosome on us every hole. One played thru, one ended after 9 like it was there 27th holes and another played thru as they were always hitting and putting at same time like they had already played a round before?

Bring your rangefinder as carts have no gps.

Course needs some TLC

The Vineyards seems to be struggling with the summer’s heat. Tee boxes were fair; fairways generally in good shape; rough was cut and playable; sand traps were thoroughly inconsistent (bare or crusty or wet or reasonable); greens were soft, but Oh so slow. Ponds were very green with algae. Pace was Ok (though older player acquaintances were very slow). Value with Hot Deal was fair.
