Greens

This was a lovely course. San Diego, weather was gorgeous. Would have been excellent day except the fact that the greens had just been irrigated! Not one green wasn't cover in sand and holes. Putting was a nightmare!! Also, parts of three bunkers were underwater.
.Which they would make golfers aware of this (Greens) before you book a tee time...

Great Golf Day

Course was in great condition as usual. Was a beautiful day and could ask for anything better. Just one thing though...the greens were probably the hardest and fastest that I have ever played.

The fountains course

This course is always in excellent condition. I was pleased the new yardage markers at the holes. The staff is always very friendly. It's a great value for the money. The pace of play is sometimes a little slow but that's golf. I would definitely play it again. I recommend it to all my friends. I also like the casual atmosphere.

A challenging executive course

This is a nice little gem worth the drive to get there. Some great views, some challenging holes, but not too long which made it great for my beginner wife. Course was nice and green.

Golf with football

The condition was ok for a resort par 3, but the also have several hole that power lines are in play, which again is ok, but when you mix in the football families kicking and not knowing rules, it may not be worth the regular price they charge, buy acceptable with a golf now hot deals price

Great Course

We play this course everytime we are at the Welks Resort and have never been disappointed. Very friendly staff and great and challenging course. I recommend this course to anyone in the area. Very few people playing this course on a Sunday so it was a very relaxed and enjoyable day.

Best way to spend a day

Every one at the pro shop, on course and in the 9th Hole snack shack were friendly. Never felt rushed. Course yardage enjoyable for a relaxing round of golf.

Always great

While I agree the overseeding was a bummer for awhile it was necessary. The course is in absolutely beautiful shape. There isn't another course in southern california that is in such good shape for a around $25. Beverage cart has super limited hours as does the snack shack on the turn but the wraps are really good. Pace of play is generally really quick. Even if you end up waiting quite a bit its still under a 4 hour course.

Great Executive Golf Course

Fountains is a beautiful course. The scenery on several holes is very pleasant to the eye. The course is not overly difficult for a low to middle handicapper, but distances can be hard to gauge because of the elevation changes. Reading the greens correctly is important, downhill puts are quick and up hill puts against the grain are slow. I will definitely play this course again especially with golfnow deal rates.
