good conditions
these course is a very good condition and it is very good worked all holes, fairways, greens, sands. good one.
East County golf
Course is well maintained, uses reclaimed water so still green fairways and excellent greens and bunkers.
rpmalGolf,
Thanks for your review and for playing San Vicente Golf Resort. We are glad you enjoyed the course and can't wait to see you again next time!
Great Staff
The staff was exceptional. We started on time, had helpful hints about the course and when the rains came and we could only play nine holes, they gave us complimentary nine holes for our next time.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort!
Disappointment
This course has the potential to be among one of the best public tracks in the San Diego area. The course is challenging but not so outrageous so as to prevent any level player from enjoying the day. The condition of the greens are constantly impressive. The food and beverage facilities are adequate and the staff (primarily high school aged children - more later) are friendly. Driving range requires much improvement. Mainly dirt and the golf balls are found/stray/damaged with a line of paint. The problem with this course is that due to the isolated location, many golfers lose sight of etiquette and pace of play. I have played this course no less than 10-15 times and each and every time the pace of play leaves me frustrated and bitter. The staff, primarily children, are loathe to roam the course and encourage folks to keep up with the group ahead of them. As a walker and a 10 handicap, I have seen my share of courses and this by far is one of the slowest. Never any fun to hit.......then wait. Management (such as it is) is inclined to ignore complaints of slow play and are more concerned with catching folks fishing in the few lakes on the course. Probably will refrain from future outings at this facility.
A little over rated
Chose this course because of the 4 star reviews. I feel the majority of the reviews over rated the course. Best things were the greens, food and drink and staff friendliness. The course itself was in fair to good condition at best. The back nine fairways and beauty was much better than the front nine. The reviews regarding the new landscaping is misleading. The planting season are new and they areas needed mulch. Lots of ragged looking areas. Reminded my wife and I of the average mini golf course. Probably won't return.
Nice course
We will be back to play this course often. Would like to see restrooms added.
Great course
Good day playing this course. Could use some bathrooms and a beverage cart. Will play again soon thanks for th great day!
Great condition!
Course is in excellent shape. Course is challenging, but fun.

nice improvements
The course was in the best shape I've ever seen it. Fairways were green and lush (for southern California) greens were in great shape and I love the new landscaping going to a more water friendly design.

Beautiful scenery, worth the drive. Slow greens
Great course in the middle of nowhere east or San Diego. Beautiful course with lakes and huge trees, definitely needs a couple of rounds before you can beat the course. The only complaint is that the greens are really slow, I ended up 3-putting a lot of holes, not used to such slow greens.
Must Play Here
First time here. Excellent conditions. Worth the drive from point Loma. Greens and fairways in great shape. Come out and play this course.
SVGC Review 5-25-15
The golf course is really in great shape. One of the few courses left in Southern California with actual rough you must play out of when you miss the fairway. If you can make the drive up I highly recommend playing here.

Awesome Condition, Friendly Staff
Worth the drive! Lush Conditions, great greens. They are working on some reclamation projects but it is being done very professionally. Course conditions were fantastic, very green, defined cuts and greens that rolled perfect. Would come back again, first 5 star rating for me..
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort.
Nice course
1st time playing this course. Nice and green. Played the white tees. 6228 yards. They had a landscaping co. doing all the non playing surfaces and boy is it going to look good. Greens like felt, but were they fast. We all had a tough time holding the green and stopping putts. Wish I lived closer to play more often.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort.

A good San Vicente course getting even better after a turf removal program
I can't say enough good things about San Vicente. Ted Robinson created a fun place to play that's scenic and inviting. The turf removal program scheduled to be completed by the end of the summer should only enhance the course beauty, replacing 18 1/2 acres of grass with mulch and native plants. Any initiative to save on water costs shows forward thinking by management. A handful of rebuilt, lined ponds and natural wetlands are the biggest obstacles besides the trees and bunkers. There's no signature hole, but there's no bad hole, either. It's just a solid round from start to finish.
Fivesomes and More
Firstly, the course is well-maintained and fun to play.
Unfortunately, golfers and tee-times are poorly managed. Fivesomes on Saturday morning make no one happy. A sixsome (I'm not kidding) makes a golfer angry. Ten minutes behind on tee times before 7:00 is...well, you have to try hard to make that happen. Moreover, locals/members often insert themselves in gaps on the course when they don't think that doing so will bother anyone...much. The pro shop has a laissez-fair attitude about all of this which makes playing here a frustrating experience.
I totally agree with your comments on this course. The Pro Shop Staff showed up 15 minutes late, which meant he had angry golfers waiting for him. Took his time getting set up, which meant another 10 minute delay. Because of his tardiness, he was rude to everyone. And the golfers inserting themselves also happened to us. Great course, fun to play, but very frustrated with the way they run their business.
Beautiful day!
Beautiful course - some replanting going on, but never in our way! Great setting and a really wonderful way to spend a day! Hamburgers at the snack bar were excellent! A good happy hour menu upstairs finished the day with an amazing view to boot!
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing San Vicente Golf Resort.
Fair course. Very slow pace of play.
Today had to be the longest wait I ever played...at any course. Can you say overbooked? It took almost three hours to complete the first nine holes!!!! No Marshall in sight . While we were waiting for our tee time, we watched a foursome take 30 minutes to finish the par 4 -18th!! 30 Minutes!
I will give Mgt a mulligan today. Hopefully, they will read this and work on keeping the pace of play manageable.
Marshall needed
It's very very slowly playing, there is no management from Marshall
