The course just punched all the greens 5 days ago and no one told me about this or I would not have played. Could not putt on any green. I should have been told

Slow greens

Slowest greens in San Diego. Slow play. Not worth drive. Never saw a marshall.

Quality course

This course offers med length and occasional elevation changes. Though the fairways are wintering, they are I'm good condition. The greens are in quite good shape somewhat fast and putt true. Only course downside would be wet/hard sand traps. Overall, one of the best golfing values around.

Glad I teamed up with jim

First time playing, on first tee joined with a local player, and he really helped on proper targeting. A cold rainy day, but that helped us zip around in 3.5 hours as the course was not crowded. That includes some ball hunting and a short rain break.some dormant areas and dead grass in fajrway, but greens were good. Playing with Jim helped avoid unseen trouble. A fun course. Near Mt. Woodson, another course I liked in previous years. Very pleasant staff in clubhouse, and nice beverage facilities afterwards. Will play again on another San Diego visit! Excellent price with hot deal on golfnow.

NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE!

I lived in Ramona for 20 years. 5 of them on this course. It truly was the best deal in San Diego. A hidden gem. I've played it hundreds of times. Traditionally the course was always in excellent condition throughout the year. Tee boxes, fairways and greens had always been top notch. I returned there to play a round this week after not being there for a year and was very disappointed with the conditions. Fairways were dead, tee boxes were rough, and the greens were beat up. It's still a great track and we made the best of it, but it was a bummer to see such a great course take a bad spin so quickly. Still a fun course with great pace of play. I hope they can restore it to its glory days.

Plenty of bald spots

For winter conditions i expected the course to be a little greener. I guess the water shortages in CA are taking their toll on SVGC. Most of the greens are in good shape.

This is a tough course to play the first time. A lot of course knowledge is needed to keep your score low. #18 is a fantastic finishing hole that provides a reward for the golfer that grips it & rips it from the elevated tee box.

San Vicente

Great course and amenities, friendly staff but quit after 11 holes because it was so slow. It ruined anotherwise great day of golf. Folks I played with quit after 9 holes. I have never played that slow ever. Almost 3 hours for 9 holes

A little beat up but fun layout

It was prime time so it was a relatively slow round. Very interesting layout, unlike most courses in the area. Fairway grass was mostly very tight so it was really hard to get under the ball. Overall though, a fun course I will play again.

Not the gem we thought

Heard this place was a real gem and it was anything but. The entire course was rough. Patchy hard fairways, greens where ok on some holes. Most of the course feels like a ran down municipal but municipal courses are in better shape. Not like the photos but everywhere is blond right now. This wasn’t the great course we wanted and expected. Won’t be back for a while if ever

Xmas eve shotgun start

We started off at the 14th hole. Interesting way and different. Course was in good condition, greens were good , yet some were water logged. It's definitely a drive, worth it on occasion. Course is tough , yet not overly tough. Staff was great.

Great Value, Fun Time

We had a great round at San Vicente on a Sunday afternoon. We did tee off about 30 minutes late which put us in danger of not completing 18 holes (we did, but just barely) but after that we had a fun time.

Course is in good condition, especially the bunkers and greens. Not too many bare spots. Ramona is a tough environment to maintain a course perfectly throughout but I thought it was solid and a lot better than some others I've played recently in the East County.

At $28 this was unbeatable.
