Keep it in the fairway
there are many OB's (right mostly) throughout the course. A few "need to know" holes as you aren't sure where the green is. Fairways need the grass to grow in many areas. Greens were in good shape but mostly were sloped. Lots of distance between green to tee on many holes

The Vineyard
Overbooked consistently. Groups congregating at first tee, dis organized with no starter for whom has the succeeded tee time. Marshalls on the move to assist with pace of play. However, the Marshalls began to whistle and yell at someone on a near by par 3 as I putting out. I don't care about my putt, but if someone whistled and yelled at me from their cart because I was retrieving my ball from a hazard, I'd be a bit taken back. No Cart girl to help the swing.

Lots of fun
Fun course, be warned that it does have a lot of elevation change in the back 9 for those who choose to walk.
A good mix of straightforward and tricky holes to challenge you.

Needs a comeback
This used to be one of the coolest and well kept courses in San Diego. It’s worth it for the $25-45 range in its current state. But, when is it going to make a comeback? It’s such a great layout.

Fun Course for all!
Greens are in good shape. fairways are being worked on, there were many with areas under repair. All bunkers need TLC, they were so compacted and hard. Overall really enjoyed the course!

Reinstall the yardage markers!
Nice day, nice layout, some rough tees and fairway spots but decent overall. For the life of me I couldn’t understand why they took out the 200/150/100 markers.
