Looking Good

Coming along real well! Fairways are flourishing really nicely. A little sand on the greens so watch for quite a few bumps and bounces. Some area roughs are a little long but not too dramatic.

Can’t beat the price

You can play much more deteriorated courses in the area for same amount of money. Course is in really good shape. Layout is great as well. Pace of play was slow. The Marshall did his best to keep groups moving. Facilities are nice ie driving range putting area. Keep up the good work

Solid bang for the buck

Fairways could use a little work but overall its a fun course. Would have helped if the Marshall told us there was GPS App for the course before the 2nd to last hole!

Playing after the rains

I scheduled through Golf Now, and got in as a single w my wife riding along after foot surgery. We joined a 3 some, and other than a couple of holes waiting on the group in front of us , didn’t have to wait much. It did get dark before we could finish.

Fun layout but …

Course was fun to play. Glad I stayed out of the green side bunkers as there was little to no sand in them. Grass growing in bunkers is not a good sign. However, all else was good on the course. Put sand in the bunkers and this course would become a must play.

Excellent conditions on the Fairway

Not too long, not too short. Hit the ball into the fairway and you will score here. Fun morning round that only took 3.35 hours teeing off at 0700.

Great Course

One of my favorite courses in San Diego. The cart girl is the best. Always comes around and friendly. I wish you’d work out the fence on #12. It’s visually unappealing. If not, let the right side grow up to keep good shots in.

Good Overall

Course is going through some repair but overall play was good. Couple fairways under repair, a couple greens that are a little bumpy. Staff were incredible! If your looking for a nice casual round it's worth it.

Soggy course

Bunkers need work. Don’t know why, but the course was beyond soggy. Greens were slow. Not normal for EC.

pace of play

Terrible . Had to call shop to get someone out to speed up a group of 4 that had fallen 2-3 holes behind and didn't seem to care. Shop should have made them skip a hole as there were 4-5 groups behind them waiting...but the ranger only asked them to speed up.

Took almost 3 hrs to play the back nine behind these guys. 4 of them in 3 carts and almost 3 hours to play 9

is not acceptable.

No grass, poor quality greens and sand traps

Self explanatory. The sand traps are like concrete. Grass coverage is sparse. Greens are overgrown and slow.
