The Vineyard at Escondido

My first experience with The Vineyard was great. The front and back nines are completely different in degree of difficulty with the front being the hardest. Everything was great making the whole experience enjoyable.

The greens were punched a week earlier, so they were bumpy.

There's water on the first 9 and your ball will inexplicably roll into the water because many of the fairways are less than flat.

If you lose a ball, you'll probably bring, too. Sometimes the water hazards are clear enough to find lots of balls. Sometimes they are danker than a foggy Halloween night.

We were lucky to be paired with someone who had played the course so had a little inside knowledge. Course was fun to play, the only nit to pick was that the driving range is not protected from the course with nets on either side, so two holes had lots of range balls on the edge of the fairways, which made finding balls on that side of those fairways quite difficult. Otherwise a very enjoyable round and would happily return.

I expected the punching and sanding, but the greens were horrible. Also, there was a ridiculously slow foursome who had 5 groups backed up. No one from the course was monitoring

Man they are doing a LOT of construction on this course. Didn't say anything, and that was the tough part today. There was CAT equipment everywhere, and it was not mentioned beforehand. Really disappointing round.

The greens were recently punched which is okay an not a problem. I honestly figured since the price was so low and honestly if you’re complaining about it go kick rocks. The starter was awesome gave me a bit of a run down on the course since it was my first time playing there. The course has a fun layout and some tricky holes and the greens weren’t rolling too bad as still managed to get out of there with a few birdies. All in all in was a good round. I’ll definitely be back once the greens heal.

Love it, but would appreciate if you could spray for bugs around the water sites. They are bothersome!

Nice course good layout. Unfortunately just sands punched greens day before.

When I checked in at Vineyard golf course, I was told the green under aerification. The course opened only front 9 holes. I was somewhat surprised, because when I booked online, no any warning said the course started aerification Monday. The confirmation email did not mention anything about the course aerification also. Disappointed very.

We were staying at the Fairmont and didn't feel like spending $300 on a round (because frankly I'm not a good.golfer). Found this course on Tee Off with a great deal on a 2:10 start. The course is very nice with well maintained tee boxes, fairways, and greens. The rough was deep and some had a lot of thick mowed grass clumped on it. All the significant damage on the greens was "day damage". There is some.water and a few of the fairways are a little narrow but in all it's a typical.par 70. Not super long. Tons of big, wide and thoughfully.placed bunkers. All told it was an excellent value and I had a great time. I used their rental clubs. They were probably less than the value of the rental, but I'm sure at the price point they are going to be abused, so not likely to have anything too nice. I didn't us3 any off course amenities but I didn't want to leave zero stars.

Needed marshal to keep pace of play going

Second group in front of us was a hole behind.

Course was in good shape

Greens were receptive

Water had some sort of ball magnet that my ball was attracted to. LOL

The driving range is always completely full and people standing around waiting to get on it. This may be ok for other players, but I can't play a round of golf without a bit of warmup ahead of time, so this is a deal-breaker issue for me.
