Course is in good condition. Pace of play was slow.

Always a fun and challenging course to play. Unexpectedly slow play this round. Had to skip a couple holes due to the twosome playing in front of me. Otherwise a good round.

Great course

1st time that I and my brother-in-law and friend played this course it was a very nice course we had 2nd tee time so of course it played fast for us Greens nice fairways good shape pretty forgiving stopped at snack bar on the way to 10th tee unfortunately very busy and only one person working should have pre-made food, could not order any food Other than that highly recommend.

Bad Cart Issues

My cart crapped out just before the 10th green. I called the phone number listed on the course card. The person said they would let some know right away.

25 minutes later no one had still come to replace my cart. The people I was playing with had to move on. I was holding up the entire course. No marshal, no one came to assist me. When I called the number again they finally told me they were the main resort number and there was no direct number to the pro shop or starter booth. They left messages but no one came to bring me another cart. Finally after 45 minutes I gave up. Grabbed my clubs and walked of the course. I was within view of the pro shop and no one helped. Anyone that askes me I will tell them never to play there!!

How do I contact you directly?

No phone number given, no email given.

As when I was there playing no one in charge to accommodate customers.

The course is in pretty good shape. A few of the fairways could use a little more water, otherwise a nice course.

Great round

Great fast paced round with four of us friends. We let one group of 2 play through but other than that we’re not pressed by other groups. We finished in about 4 hours. Course is challenging but very fun. Greens were in good shape; soft landings for approach shots but surprisingly fast. We definitely hope to play there again! And a shout out to my carnales! Great time with you guys!

Vacation Round

Played as a single. Matched with two fun regular players here. Had a ball. Challenging holes and long carries make it a thinking course. Good course for the money. Greens were true but the fairways were tight and dry. Still a good choice to play

Great golf in Fallbrook Ca

I played golf with a friend today. I enjoyed the course. It challenged me to play golf and not just hit my driver. I elected to choose the right club to play each hole. I’ll be back again for another great round. The upkeep of the fairways, out of bounds , and the greens were awesome.

We all enjoyed this course. Greens were immaculate. Tee boxes could be better. Fairway grass could be more consistent.
