Some to the fairways need work
Overall a good day, however I play this course often and clearly many of the fairways are in need of work and maintenance. There are areas, like the fairway on #9 in mid ranch that are simply just dirt.

Course condition was poor
I play here once a year with a friend when I come to San Diego to visit family. It has always been a great course no matter the time of year. This time the course was burnt out and not much grass in the fairways. But don’t get off the fairways because it is spotty and lots of bald bumpy spots. The greens were in good shape and receptive. Many of the bunkers were hard and not well maintained and people in general are not raking after they were there. Overall I love this course but don’t want to play it again in the current conditions.

Love the layout
Always a challenge off the tee and having acceded to my rapidly arriving 70th birthday, even played the whites (and matched the youngsters, when I hit the fairways)
The drought is taking it's toll and a whole lot of rain would really help all of our local courses, except Torrey, of course.

Great layout. Plenty challenging. Very scenic. But greens weren’t mowed for our 11:40 tee time. Sand traps were in poor condition. Too much bare ground in fairways.

Absolutely slowest round
Hard to get a rhythm going. Waited at every single hole. Round took over five and a half hours. Sad because it really made us have a poor impression of the course.

Great time with a HOT DEAL
We were looking for a place to play, so that we could get in 18 before going to work.. most courses were busy and expensive.
This GOLF NOW Hot Deal popped up and yes it was at 6:50 AM, but after we passed the group in front of us, we finished in 3 :15 hours and it was a perfect day to golf
