The Vineyard at Escondido

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.

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.

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!

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.

Love the course, not cookie cutter, nice shape, great pace of play, greens nice, great french fries, and staff are excellent!

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

Not really as bad as i read. Considering summertime things were green all around. Greens were soft and a little slow so give a bit more oomph and you'll be fine. I went on wednesday and the pace was good, a little wait on a couple o holes. A nice time was had by all............

The traps are absolutely terrible. It's like hitting off the side walk. Decided not to break my clubs so I took free drop. The fairways were bare and dirt at best. The greens were ok. The golf carts were terrible. Mine broke down. For 80 bucks a round you would expect something a heck of alot better.

Wow where do I start. Please don’t waste your time or money coming here. The course conditions are pretty bad, lots of dirt patches and sand in almost every fairway. But to make matters worse the pace of play was way behind.

It took us about 15 mins to wait at every tee box just to hit. This isn’t the first time that this has happened. On top of that they had no Marshall’s holding people accountable for picking it up.

Most of the employees there seemed miserable from the start, the staff was super un helpful and when I went to talk to a manager to give feedback, they just chewed their gum and looked down on their phone the entire time.

Def wouldn’t pay more than $25 to play 18, mostly just based on the course conditions alone. Better off playing an executive course somewhere else to get your moneys worth.

Fairways and tee boxes are in rough shape. They way over water the course, making the course way too soft. Would be better off if they let the fairway/greens bake out a bit.
