Greens could use some love

This place is the best deal around North County. The fairways are a bit weathered and the greens are slow and look like there are several species of grass growing, but who cares? The course is in decent shape and any round of golf is better than not golfing!

3.5 hour round!

Great pace of play and back nine was wide open for us. Greens need a bit of work and fairways are patchy but manageable with the foot wedge. Great staff and decent refreshment pricing.

Worth the $$

Great value and fast pace which surprised me. Conditions mediocre on fairway and average to good greens. It's strange that although I thoroughly enjoyed my round here, I'm hesitant to return because of the golf carts. There are no cart signs yet I was forced to go in reverse on nearly every hole. It's basically cart path only which was extremely annoying. Governor kicks in going down the smallest of hills. My friends and I were losing our minds by the end of our round.

Great course - even better for the price!

This is a well-taken care of course and one of the best options for the money in North County. Especially nice for us beginners with wide fairways and not too many hazards.

What happened?

Greens were nice a couple months ago, now slow and bumpy, looks like another type of grass growing into greens. Fairways have always been marginal. Too bad. I have golfed here for almost 30 years, this could be a nice course, but seems to be going downhill while prices since Covid have skyrocketed.

Not worth it

This course was in the worst condition of any course I’ve played this year. Tee boxes are uneven with spotty grass, fairways are full of bald spots, and there were manual sprinklers running on every green.

I was very excited to hit this course, thinking I got a great deal online. Joke’s on me…if I would’ve known how messed up this course is I wouldn’t have paid half of what I did. So disappointed.

Tough Conditions and the carts are ridiculous

The pricing, pace of play, greens, staff and layout are great. The fairways were mostly ok on the back but need lots of TLC for the front. The greens do need some work and have several types of mixed grass but hey roll fairly true. The gps and carts are really frustrating. Mark the course so people know where to go! Fix the brake locks. Stop sending so many annoying messages.

Tale of 2 nines

They lost the front nne. Don't know if it is lack of water or the heat. The front nine has gone down hill considerably since the last time I played a couple of months ago.

And they raised the rates.

The back nine was in much better shape..

I wouldn';t mind paying the rates if the entire course was in god shape. I will not play here again until they figure it out and fix the frontt nine.
