The Vineyard at Escondido

Haven't played the Vineyard in a couple of years and was surprised at what bad shape the fairways and bunkers were in. Early hole bunkers had ZERO sand and were hard as a rock. Flew the green twice and that never happens for me. Fairways were often hard as a rock; a divot was an impossibility. I understand water is expensive but I won't play here again for a long time.

Played 12/27/24- The Pro Shop and Starter were super nice and accommodating. But, the kid in the cart barn almost hit me as I was leaving and looked obviously like he didn’t care for his job.

The sand traps and lack of a Marshall to keep the pace up were the only negative. The guys in front of us were so bad and at least two holes behind.

The sand traps were so wet that they had zero sand and all hardpan.

This is a great value and the staff was really cool. I will definitely be back!

Course was in great condition and I was able to be first off an play 18 in under 2.5 hours. Not a long course but a fun one!

Course in good shape. Great price. Just need some Yardage markers.

Great track with decent views on the back 9. Pace of play could be better but it’s great if you’re playing a relaxing round.

This course has great value, paid $24 with cart included. Full sized course, 7000ish yards if I’m not mistaken. Some dead parts of the grass but overall very green.

Front nine is target golf with some risk reward holes for the driver if you’re willing to back up the course. Course design on the front 9 has never been conducive of a quick pace. Back 9, however, is still amazing. Cool holes and some killer views! Sunsets here are special.
