The Vineyard at Escondido

I’ve never played the track but some friends of mine had. They said it was a good layout I must admit I really enjoyed it will definitely be back. My only complaint was I teed off at 6:20 the course was pretty wet and it was cold. I know next time to wait until about 9 o’clock before starting that way the sun will of warmed everything up

very thin grass on the fairways in some places. overly tight landing areas that often run off the fairways on a good tee shot

Liked the course. The fairways were painted green so it looked more lush than I’m sure it was. But nonetheless the grass seemed healthy and very playable which puzzled me why they’re painting it.

I was charged for 3 people because two of my friends couldn’t make it. But they filled the spots with singles. Since the spots were filled I don’t think I should be charged.

Course was in average condition. Expected it to be a little better considering the weather we have been having. Greens in the morning were not dew-swept or mowed, so they were a bit inconsistent until they evaporated after an hour or so. Some lies in the fairway were not on anything that looked like grass - mostly dirt, or wayyyyy over watered and muddy.

Still the experience was good+. Just expected a little more.

Driving range was finally open, and you could purchase balls. They even had us on the grass (not mats) portion.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Worth the price charged for a senior.

Very balanced course to play. The course was demanding but evenly having a challenge at each hole.

If the greens are being airiated... it shouldn't be full cost. Full cost should be at least quality putting surface. A few were "under repair" with No warning. ! Otherwise this is a gorgeous course and challenging.

The greens were recently punched (with no notice of this fact). Putting was unrealistic.

As all courses are going through maintenance this time of year, I wasn’t going to hold my putting accountable for my score today.

The staff here is outstanding. Extremely friendly check in, and great service at the turn.

A challenging and fun track. Bring Off Deep Woods. There are always quite a few gnats and flies.

$45 with a cart. Can’t beat the price. Make sure to bring deet spray for the back nine though. Holes 11-16 came with a constant buzzing of the at least 20 gnats swarming around me at all times. (No exaggeration) Couple bare patches in the fairway and a few patches taken out of the greens too (no idea how that happens, but there you have it) Tee boxes were nice and level. Layout can definitely be challenging, but apparently fair (if you’re better than me at hitting it straight anyway) Given the price though, definitely worth it.

Oh. They also recently punched and sanded the greens, so keep that in mind if you’re thinking about there soon. 2-3 weeks from now, the greens should be great. (Except for the parts on a couple that almost look like divots)
