First Time Playing

Fun course, went during the winter so there was some mud and the tee boxes weren’t great, but that is January. Challenging greens, with some chances to crack out some low irons.

With an 0815 tee time they were already 30 mins behind. Took 4 hours to play this course with the slow pace of play. Constantly waiting at the next tee on the front nine.

More Grass

I like Tecolote because it's close to my house, but they need to fix up the tee boxes and fairways. While the greens are in decent shape, there's just not a lot of grass on the course and that's a sad fact.

I Love Tecolote

One of the best courses for its price with romaine of the most challenging greens for a Par 3 in San Diego. I love playing Tecolote and look forward to every time I play here.

For causal walk n short games

2nd time playing here with Wife and son, wife being a beginner. it's friday and very hot 84F for Jan.Waite at every hole, only greens are decent with grass. Fairways have are almost naked with no grass, and many pot holes can twist your ankles. it's a small short course so balls coming from all directions. One of the reasons it's busy today is probably due to being a Friday of a long weekend (Monday being MLK day). The first time being here wasn't this crowd.

To be fair, the course being 3161 yds is better than most of the short courses in San Diego area. it has certain level of difficulties and can hit driver 3 holes. will come back n play again w wife.

Bad In Almost Every Way

We had to wait a half hour to tee off on the 4th hole. The tee boxes are pure dirt...every single one of them. On the back 9, every hole is on the side of the canyon, and if you don't hit the hole directly they will run off the green, every single time. The greens are nice, but every other piece of terrain is poor.

3 clubs

You will only need 3 clubs to play this course. Greens were in pretty good shape but all the tee boxes have no grass and we’re all moved up. Landscapers were yelling during the round while people are trying to hit their ball. Not a good value for $47 when you can play a legit golf course for the same price or a few dollars more.

Good bad and the ugly

I'm a pga golfer thats played this course countless times the layout is a secret gem in san diego. The greens are unputtable. Many good putts will slide off the green. The fairways are in horrendous condition and the service is mediocre at best. For such a short course rounds take 4 hours and the ranger does not make sure waits are minimized. If the course was a patient he would be put in the ICU very nearly dead

Tecolote golf

Greens were fast and in decent shape. Everything else was dirty and old. Needs some TLC.
