Solid course

Good value for a round . Some tough holes with large greens. Sand is not in good shape, muddy or unkept, wet spots on fairways (bogs) here and there but for the most part a good solid course for great value.

Vineyard in Escondido

The back nine is a real pretty layout with plenty of mountain scenery to keep your mind off some of the poor shots you just hit.. the front nine was ok with the greens being a little shaggy (must be getting ready to aerate) but my putting was better than usual. I played with three Chinese gentleman and shared my faith in Jesus Christ with one of them. Turns out he was a believer. Overall, a very pleasant afternoon.

Sloooow

Great staff. Great driving range. Cool course. Fantastic food (cheeseburger and fries for like $7-$8, delicious)

Only complaint…super slow pace. Up to 10 minute wait on each tee box. 5 minutes between each shot, hard to get rhythm going. Left frustrated after #11 when 3 groups on tee box. Would definitely play again, maybe a little earlier (teed off at 1030) to go faster.

What has happened to Management??

Superintendent has decided no chipping at the two large practice greens, allowing only the third, tiny green next to first tee be used for chipping practice . WHY?? No one could answer so all staff defer to this indefensible decision to disallow chipping practice at either large practice areas installed by the course designers specifically for-that’s right-CHIPPING PRACTICE!!

Terrible management decision that will take this great practice then play course out of my list of favorite places…for decades I’ve played here, always chipping practice going on by many, never any over turf damage or misuse…. Now it’s no longer??!

Sad…what’s next? Eliminate practice putting to save$$??

Slooooooooooow

Hard to play good when you have to wait on EVERY shot. Not sure what the answer is. Awful lot of slow play everywhere. Are these courses just booking times too close together? Trying to squeeze every penny out of us?
