The Vinyard, Escondido

Good deal with Golfpass/Golfnow. Seems they've done some much needed work on front 9 bunkers...but back nine still need attention.

It was nice to play a course with grass on the fairways, bunkers need some attention but the tees & greens were well kept.

Good back up plan

Course is a good B course. Not first tier but good second tier. Sand traps are terrible. No distance markers. No GPS on carts Greens are good. Fairways ok Nice mix of holes.

Needs work!

There were a couple of fairways where it was just dirt. Some of the tee boxes were in bad shape and all of the traps were trash. The last time I played this course was right after they reopened post Covid, and the course hasn’t improved much.

Just a hair mire

Staff: top notch. Very accommodating.

Greens: smooth and truly deceptive. The break you think you see, yeah, you don’t.

Amenities: meh. Limited snack bar menu and staff. Don’t come here expecting to dine.

Fairways: for the most part trimmed and green. A few barren spots with tight lies but otherwise not bad.

Bunkers: pull it out and drop. The condition of these bunkers are a major cause of concern. Hard..I mean HARD, Compacted DIRT. Not a true measure of bunker play. At the very least they should punch em up and give them some form of a sandy feel. Or, add some sand. Worst part of our experience.

Pace of play: not bad for a Saturday. Patience is key because, well, weekend.

Overall: not bad. That being said, not quite worth the Saturday cost of $76.00.

Not worth the money

Very nice staff but the grounds (fairways, bunkers, etc.) were horrible. The greens were nice and rolled true.

They did not have even a cart girl on a Saturday, crazy!

Course was a let down

I’ve played this course before and it was amazing the first time. However the 2nd time I played I was very disappointed. Fairways were in very poor condition compared to last time. The bunkers were as hard as concrete and impossible to chip out of. (I had to resort to putting out of bunkers.). Not worth playing for more than 40 bucks but I still had a fun time with the layout of the course.

Vi eyard needs work

The bunkers are in dire need of attention and fairways drying quickly. Not a bad deal for quick round to loosen up
