Great Course. Fantastic Value!

I really enjoyed playing this course, the conditions are pretty good but for the cost I would say it's a fantastic deal.

Busy course

I haven’t played this course in a while, the course was well kept and in good shape for the time of year. My tee time was at 6:40am and I get there right around 6am to warm up and they tell me the range doesn’t open until 630. That was disappointing as if you have early tee times you should have your range open. Other than that it was not to bad of a day.

Friendly staff great greens

Today was hot and dry so the course was playing super firm. 60 yard roll outs and high first bounces on the fairways. Greens were hard to get spin on and we’re also super firm but that was due to weather. Course is fun and gettable but could use some water and seed in some spots. Staff was A+ I’ll be back for sure

Every time I play this course I’m reminded why I rarely come back. Good conditions and a cool lay out but the customer service is so bad. Every time I go there the employees make me and my group feel so unwelcome . I’ve never written a review before but had to say something , it’s very disappointing every time.

Good course always in good condition but the service is always so bad here. I’ve been playing for four years and have never written a review about any course. But every time I try to play here the employees are always so rude to us. I live in Escondido and the course has good deals but I rarely go because I always feel unwelcome , very disappointing!

What happened to this formerly nice course?

The only redeeming thing about this course is the condition of the greens.

Fairways were trash, no decent turf, clumpy variety of different grass (where there was grass), no rough,.

This used to be one of my ‘go to’ courses when visiting family here, but the obvious lack of caring of ownership about course condition, I won’t be back.

its coming around

I'm happy to write a pleasant review. Three months ago I was furious to pay full price for the dry and dying conditions, with punched and sandy greens to top it off. The course is still more yellow that green on most holes, but its yellow grass as opposed to dirt and dead lies. If you're able to be in the fairways you'll find more good lies than poor. The tee boxes are not perfect but you're likely playing off of a tee, so it shouldn't matter. Every tee box was level. The greens are in fantastic shape but happened to be a little bumpy today. I imagine tomorrow they will be mowed. I found some putts that weren't affected by the bumpies and the ball rolls very true and on the right line with the right speed will find the bottom of the cup. I gave it four stars on course conditions because of the greens being healthy, and the fairways, even if yellow, offered great lies. $44.95 with cart at 7:50am on Tuesday, via GolfNow

Course is in rough shape

The course was in pretty shabby condition. Probably the worst I’ve ever played it in the last 15 years. The tee boxes were mostly OK, the fairways were largely torn up, the rough was horrible, it was too wet in many spots , and the greens were just OK (with a few in very good shape, others covered in duck droppings) The bunkers were pretty much junk. I got the impression that the maintenance team was down to bare bones, just doing the minimum to get by.
