No access to driving range

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.

First Time Playing

Good time for the first time here

I enjoyed playing for my first time and I would definitely return and recommend this golf course to my friends that play golf. The layout was ok and it made the course challenging for me as I've only been playing for a year, but overall I enjoyed it. The course was full that day with more than two groups ahead of us and behind, so scheduling your tee time early in the morning might be best. The staff was super friendly as my golf bag was taken to the car for me because I'm coming off a fractured wrist. I will definitely be back to play here again.

Cheap and dirty

You get what you pay for. $36 for 18 with a cart is as cheap as it gets. But the course condition reflects the price. Unfortunately, I was paired with someone who littered and had no etiquette, but I don’t think that’s the normal golfer who plays there.

Old School Player

I would rate this course with a better score but they have no yardage markers anywhere? I'm old school and still use my eyes, so not a gps to the hole I miss shoot on distance inside 150yards. May be time I upgrade to a gps watch but I prefer my Xeric nasa moon landing watches for now. Still doesn't make sense they removed all the fairway yardage markers, at least have the 200, 150, 100 markers on the cart paths. Over all I'll play it again.

Good Layout, Fair to Pooe Course Conditions

Fairways and Greens are pretty rough and chewed up.

Spotty grass in Fairways. Greens full of poorly and non-repaired pitch marks.

Golfers: Fix your stuff!

Course Maintenance: Fix the Greens and Fairways!

The Vinyard Escondido

Worth the money...they could pay more attention to conditions of the bunkers as most are not kept up. Need more sand...or at minimum more attention from ground crew.

The Vineyard let me down as a senior yesterday

The starter was a mean senior guy. He was rude and let me have a not so good golfer as a shared ride. I explained him that I reserve the cart and tee time as a single. He was adamant and told me there is no guarantee I will be riding alone.

I was going there often, but now....🤨
