Nice

Greens were in fantastic shape. I would recommend better signage near greens directing you to the next tee. I took off in the wrong direction more than once looking for the next hole. Had a great patty melt in the clubhouse. I will play this course again.

I like the location as far as easy to get to and freeway access.

A great course for remembering how to use your irons. LOL! I needed the reminder and will return to this course

Exactly What We Were Looking For

In San Diego for the week on vacation and we were looking for somewhere cheap that was still a decent course. This is a nice little executive course a few minutes from Pacific Beach. Friendly staff and despite the terrible drought, the course was in good shape. Bring lots of balls as the fairways are narrow and putt soft, because the greens are FAST! Would play here again anytime.

Bring extra balls

Narrow fairways make this course tougher than most executive courses. Greens were great, though I didn't expect them to be since groundskeepers had recently been in the midst of aerating them. My fourth time there. Recently started to play again after hiatus of several years. Will continue there until comfortable with driving off the par four tees.

Playing the Owl

I have played this course more times then I can remember anymore. I always have fun and take my frtiends. Even on a Saturday I know I will not be waiting for 5 hours to finish. They did introduce Soccer to the game which I am not to thrilled about...

So that is a negative.

I go here when I want to have fun and be home by noon.

Can't beat the price

For $15 with a cart you can't go wrong. The tee boxes in places are trashed. And the greens are beyond slow. But for that price I'd play it again. I played all 18 in about 2 hours. I was flying and hitting well. I passed 4 groups so the people there are respectful of pace.

best executive course hands down

I've played Tecolote Canyon for years and I still have fun doing so. It's a great course to really hone in on your irons game. I have it three stars for course conditions only because of the many ball marks left on the green. I repaired dozens of them even though they weren't mine.

Great place to work on irons play. I recommend it for club choice and ball placement skills. Interesting layout when pins are placed well. Overall thumbs up.

Nice course but challenging

You better be hitting it straight. Plenty of canyons and creeks to eat your balls, however there are many holes where you can favor safer plays and miss without penalty. When I play a par3 course I like not using a tee to add difficulty and practice my shorter irons. Some tee boxes were in awful shape, but since you can tee it up, no problemo.

Greens Slowed Down

I used to live in Bay Park 20 years ago and this course is what started me back to playing golf again. It's a tight fairway course and it's easy to lose balls here. I was pleased to say I didn't lose one ball all day.

I booked here because it was later in the day and I wouldn't have had time to finish a regulation sized course. Pace of play was pretty good for a weekend round and I was joined by two really nice guys.

The only thing I can say is from twenty years ago the greens used to be much faster almost to fast for the small size of them, but I also pulled up short a number of times because I was not used to them being so slow. Don't get me wrong they were in really good shape, just seemed a bushy.

Lot of standing water

There was lot of standing water, a sand trap had a puddle in it, considering it has not rain in San Diego in months, there is no excuse other than not having staff that cares enough to take care of sprinklers. And not allowing so many muddy spots throughout the golf course .
