San Vicente Golf Resort

I’ve driven past this course many times but never played; mainly because from the road it doesn’t look like much, and it’s 45 minutes away. After finally trying it, I was impressed. The greens are fast, true, and feature rolling slopes, while the areas around them have well-manicured undulations and elevation changes that add strategy to approach shots. The rough is easy to play from, and the fairways are consistently green. You really need to be on the course to appreciate the quality; from afar it doesn’t do it justice.

San Vicente is one of the most underrated courses in San Diego. Best greens in the country. Plays hard and fast Really good bunkers. And a good variety of shots. The only downside is the heat in the summer and it’s kind of hard to get to

This is a very nice course with a very solid layout. The greens are relatively fast and very true. I'm not wild with the design of the greens with multiple humpbacks and strange slopes. I will definitely return to play here again. Little bit of a drive from Mission Valley area it took about 45 minutes to get there.

Fairway, traps and greens were in excellent shape.

Front 9 typical track course surrounded by homes. Challenging greens. I played gold tees at nearby Mt. Woodson and needed to move up to green/red tees on San Vicente.

Back 9 is a very different kind of course with more rugged ruff consisting of chaparral and oak trees.

Pro: great snack bar.

Con: course not monitored and seems to be a free for all with locals walking or driving on and off the course with kids and dogs at their leisure. Doesn’t have a professional golf club feel, especially for the price.

Enough water, traps, huge trees that can sneak up on you. Sand is in excellent condition, large lakes and you are definitely in the country with huge trees surrounding. Greens are in real good shape and lots of undulation.

Felt like a Midwest country club atmosphere. Nice place to spend the day.
