Very slow course if you start between 11 and 12:30 on Monday.

Play was very slow. So slow we skipped a hole and it still took us 3.5 hours and this is an exec course. Don't get a start time on Monday between 11 and 12:30.

plays well, well cared for

this course is really matured since the last time I played it. the trees and plants along the fairways are larger and even come into play on some holes where they didn't have a pass and the greens are excellent condition.

Course in bad shape

First off the greens were pure. Here is the problem though. There is random rough all over the course. I missed a green by 5 feet and lost my ball. It’s not in strategic areas it’s all over! If you can even find your ball from 2 feet off the fairway you will be lucky to get a club on the ball. Most decent golfers don’t want a 3 stroke penalty for missing the green by 5 feet. Do better.

Course improvements

The course in general is looking good. I like that the rough is rough and not unmaintained area. That said the rough height could be a bit more consistent.

Fairways and greens were in good shape.

Bunkers could be improved. They add sand on top of hard pan in some places so you don't get consistent experiences and your club bouncing off the hard pan, thinning the shot across the green. Good effort, but fixing the bunker first would be better than just adding sand.

Hole 5 was shortened to a par 3. They are repairing cart paths (nice to see and long overdue). I suspect the impacted hole will change daily or new daily as cart paths are repaired.

OK - but nothing to write home about

OK but nothing great. Rate for an out-of-state visitor is better than the ridiculous rate they charge at Torrey Pines or any other better known courses near San Diego- La Jolla area.

Kikuyu will killya

This course is based on Kikuyu grass. Impossible to advance the ball out of the ruff. Period. End of story. They also don't trust their employees enough to allow the acceptance of the US dollar to pay for things. Credit or debit is all they take.. can you say selling your info

The Exec

Good course for short game practice. Tee boxes leave a LOT to be desired.
