Don’t Bother

Staff was rude and unwelcoming. Marshall kept driving by but not helping with the pace of play. Seemed like only locals were welcomed. Pace of play was a snails crawl. Easy walk and greens weren’t too bad.

2 hour round

Booked a hot deal at 2:50. Played in 2 hours. Never waited on any tee. Greens rolled fast. Tee boxes a little barren. Awesome course!

Can’t bring a 5 year old to learn the game

White kid at the counter was rude and said 5 year old can’t go in course yet their strollers on the course daily. I don’t understand how that works. Must be based of favoritism or privilege. I’ll be sure to spread the word about how douche he was about a kid coming to play the game.

For. Insurance cover minors are not allowed on any course if they are under seven. Try taking your child on any other course. Even the development course has a minimum age of 7 Colina golf course. I have never had a bad experience at Tecolote except when I am playing a bad round.

Tecolote Canyon Golf

This place has truly turned into a goat track. It has the feel, like many San Diego courses, rhah the owners are not putting money into the cpurse because they intend to close it to build houses.

On the bright side, the greens were ok, but tee to green is terrible.

Go for the Greens

Everything about this course is rough: muddy cart paths, chewed up tee boxes, sparse fairways (on the non-par 3 holes) BUT the design of the greens is worth putting up with it all!

Don’t miss it above the hole! You’ll have almost zero chance to save par! And if you hit the wrong part of the green, you may be putting with your back to the hole!! And good luck reading the not-so-obvious breaks!

Definitely not for everyone but if you’te adventurous and want to test your short game check it out!!

You'll probably lose a ball or two

Tight and slope-y is how remembered. Four par 4s, but almost no one hits driver. Lots of elevation variation. Most greens slope toward the creek even when it doesn't look like it. Greens in good shape. Odd mix of mud and hard packed fairways.

It was still a nice day.

Nice putting green

Tecolote Executive

Course was ok for Golfpass discounted price, but too many novice/yahoos made for a ridiculous 3.5 hour round on a par 58 course. Possibly due to holiday crowds...but would only go back mid-morning/mid-week if ever again.

Nice greens

Nice greens. Tee boxes could use some work and fairways are not great, but shouldn’t be in the fairways much on this course anyway (executive course). The greens are in great shape and fast!

Toughest executive course around...

This is a tough little executive golf course. The small fast greens have slopes that make every putt a challenge. There's trouble right and left on almost every hole.

I recommend Tecolote Canyon for a fun, challenging, and inexpensive round of golf.
