The Vineyard at Escondido

The course is generally in fair shape. The greens are above average, but the fairways, rough , and traps are average to below average. Some holes had two foursomes waiting on the tee box.

First couple holes are challenging to go after if not warmed up. I tend to put driver away and rely on the old 3rd wood to get safely in play, trouble on both sides and not a lot of room for error. Errors can easily compound throughout the course, but especially the first few holes and can set wrong tone for the round. I’ve shot an 82 low an 106 high. A 10 on a hole is not that uncommon for most. Good value, and overall good shape, but traps currently are hard packed & could use fluffing. Play can be really slow at times, especially weekends. If everyone stays in play can go fast, but always dependent on who is in front of you. Can easily have a 2.5 hr or a 5 hr round. For a city owned course, they are definitely working on speeding up play (removing some traps and pesky trees). The facilities are getting a makeover too. Nice touch is having trackman for many of the driving range bays. That is huge in the early mornings as the sun is directly in the eyes (driving range) and almost impossible to track shots. Course is definitely in my rotation of SD courses to play.

Beautiful day! Fun Foursome with the Brian and Tyler joining us! We all enjoyed the beautiful views from the well maintained tees! The greens rolled true and we had a blast out there!

Great course but we had a 5 sum behind if that turned into a 2 and 3 sum. People literally hitting on to us. But great course

I really like this course it is challenging with slopes and water but fair

The Vineyard is great! The greens were just a little too soft. Maybe it rained recently? I’m in town from AZ playing in my old town

Course was fine but smell on 9

Bugs were awful

Left after 9

we wonder why so much water in the course our balls practically have mud on every hole. Green slower than actual putting green. Pace of play very slow for Thursday we spoke to one of the marshal no change. Overall, a challenge course due to wind on the back nine and course layout.

Great course ! Good conditions and friendly staff. Definitely golfing here more often.

Played on a Monday @ noon.

Course was in good shape. Played in a little over 4 hours. Staff was friendly. No complaints.

The course is in rough condition, and they stole my yeti water bottle I left behind and called back less then 24 hours ago

While the course is fun and in pretty good condition, the bugs were just to much. I usually enjoy playing this course because its close to home and the course can be fun. This time it was like a bug invasion. We did have a good laugh when driving to one of holes and my buddy swallowed some kind of fly.

Also, i had to hit out of two sand traps and it was like hitting out of a dirt hole.

Dont plan on going back unless i hear its improved.
