San Vicente Golf Resort

If you like fairways full of weeds and overpaying for green fees, this is your place. $90 to play is such a joke, it’s maybe worth $20. This place is kind of a dump to be honest. The Marshall is rude and unprofessional. I will never golf here again. So many other courses that aren’t an hour away from San Diego that are worth the money. I’m not quite sure how this place has such good reviews. Not worth it. Golfer beware.

The recent renovation of San Vicente Golf Resort has turned a relatively anonymous, out-of-the-way midcentury-modern golf course for locals into one of America's best hidden gems.

What's not to love? The course is walkable, it plays fast and firm and it has a sensational set of greens - daring, intricate and meant to be enjoyed over multiple rounds with changing hole locations. The redone bunkering is attractive without being overly showy, and bunker placements demand strategic planning from every tee box. Oh, and green fees top out around $70, the people are nice and the weather is usually perfect.

The course's semi-remote location helps keep the crowds away for now, but as the word gets out, more and more golfers will realize San Vicente is a must-play course for any curious golfer visiting the San Diego area.

Greens are hard, fast, and undulating. Green design and pine placements are ridiculous for casual golfers.

There was no starter and no marshal on the course. “Two groups” were in front of us that were actually all together. They were split into 4 and 2 off the first tee and then would just wait for each other on every tee box. I told the staff in the pro shop and his response was “ya we told them to split up”. These guys were not golfers. Half of them weren’t wearing golf attire. They drove on the wet fairways even though it was cart path only. They forgot clubs and head covers numerous times slowing down the pace even more. Normally I would have just skipped them but it would have been skipping 1-2 holes and it was my friends first time playing the course, so I wanted him to experience every hole. It took us five and a half hours to finish as a two some. Absolutely ridiculous. I again brought it up to the staff after the round and the guy could care less. Great course. Terrible staff.

Tee time was for 12:30 PM. Teed off at 12:40 PM finished 15 holes darkness. Way too slow too many golfers plus too many members playing multiple rounds.on same day deserved better actually deserve rain check so i can play 18 holes not fund 20-30 minutes each hole.

Great Course, played behind walkers who went faster than us and everyone kept up with POP also every time a worker was around they were super friendly. Possibly add sumore snacks for the course. Great time just played on the dead stuff all day but expected w/ the weather.

I would recommend this course! Well kept greens and challenging!! Food was good and staff was friendly!

Great course, tee boxes, fairways and greens are very well maintained, probably the best course for the money.

Played here a month ago and course was in great shape. Course is terrible. Fairways are dead. Greens are shot. What happened??? What a let down, won’t be back. I would compare the conditions to the atrocity that is Eagle Crest. Woof.

Good course nice layout have played many times fairway was burned out but normally that's form early freeze but very playable greens perfect running about 10 other wise fun course to play and plenty challenges.

First time at this course, overall, a solid and unique course design and layout. Golf pro shop was average and check in in process was smooth. First ability to find the holes was somewhat challenging at first. Water and sand are common on all holes and create unique shot making challenges. We played during a wind warning, so the variations were expected. Back 9 was a smoother and more straightforward layout. All greens were very fast and pin positions were challenging.

Positive course with average conditions in November.
