San Vicente Golf Resort

Fairways looking a little rough in spots, but the fresh sand in the bunkers make it a little more challenging around the hole.

Excellent condition as usual. Pace of play left something to be desired however. Sometimes that's just the way it is I guess. Two slow groups ahead of us.

Great place if you can get the green fees down around 40.00

The greens were not as good this time as I’ve seen in the past

Course was in good conditions, greens are in good condition and fast. Getting on the green with a 8, 7, 6 iron or longer the ball will roll of the back.

Was met with some attitude by the guy in pro shop when I asked about a senior rate for my 70 year old dad and was told “too bad , you booked on golf now.” Every course we have ever booked at lets us adjust. The illusion of the tee times being spaced apart is just that, an illusion. They will allow “members” aka hack golfers in their own carts jump ahead of you and they do not enforce pace of play at all. No beverage cart for 70-100 dollar green fees is pretty bad too. Greens are incredible but if you’re trying to get a quick weekday round in, this isn’t the spot.

Good value for the rate. The range balls were not in very good condition.

Form and fast conditions before today’s three day rain storm.

Unfortunately this course has been affected by the dry conditions of the area. The ball ran a lot in the fairway and had a hard time holding onto the green. Sand traps were great to work with! Course would be challenging any way, but the dry conditions really made it a challenge. Being unfamiliar with course cost us a few extra strokes, but still a good time. Because the ball ran so much, we had a hard time finding our balls. A 240 yard drive could be found 280 out! And you definitely want to stay below the hole. Greens were fast! Once you got the touch though, they were pretty true.

Ever since the renovation, San Vicente has had as good as greens as any public course in San Diego County. No need to join a country club if you can play here! Overall conditions elsewhere on the course are spectacular as well. Really recommend you put a sign outside the pro shop listing the Stimpmeter reading every day. I would estimate it was between 11 and 11.5 on 1/20/2025 when we played. Most good players would find that fascinating.
