Course has so much potential but not in good shape . Back nine could be sensational.

Great course conditions

My husband and I have been in the San Diego area since the 1st of January and this course was by far in the best condition of any courses we have played. The Happy Hour in the bar after was GREAT! Thanks for a great time.

Greens & golf carts need help

Greens we’re in poor shape & the $10 charge for a broken down cart with 2 USB ports that don’t work along with no music from the satellite radio. don’t pay the $10 fee they need to replace the carts.

I had played this course many times before covid. Today this course was in terrible condition . Greens were raggedy , off colored , rough was shabby and areas around the tee boxes were poorly maintained. Under these conditions , I would never recommend this course t my d friends or fellow golfers !

Excellent round

Course was in good condition and pace of play was good, 3.5 hr round. My only suggestion would be to mark the course in areas where they don’t want carts. The carts have gps and will stop if you wander into a restricted area. Problem is on some holes the restrictions are not readily obvious and the restrictions from greens are often excessive. This just delays rounds when you have to ever so slowly back out of an area off limits to carts. A few inexpensive signs would help everyone out.

Nice Course, Friendly Staff

Perfect 70 degree day and great course layout. Fun to play a variety of holes in great winter condition and with elevation changes. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was not busy in the middle of the week and finished in 4 hours. I would definitely play it again.

tail end of cyclone bomb

Could only play front 9 twice. Enjoyed the pace of play since hardly anyone was on the course. But I did appreciate they kept the course open. It was rainy and wet. Will return on a nicer day to play all 18 holes! When it did stop raining, the views were pretty nice.

Very good considering recent rain

The course was in good shape especially the greens considering how much rain So. Cal. received the past few weeks. The only negative was the bunkers. Couldn't play out of them. They could have been taken care of since there were a few days of sun since.

Nice layout with interesting holes

Course was in good condition greens were quick different speed from putting green some blind shot and tight holes lots of elevation changes. Overall a good experience and really good value for money. Fair but can be challenging with the layout.
