Had a great time here. Greens in decent shape, could be better but that’s on your fellow golfers fixing their marks. Fairways a bit dry but as expect after getting scorched for 3 weeks in the triple digets. They doing the best with what they got. Well worth the cost of the round, great staff, even had a starter on a weekday which i can say was a major key and killer deals and solid shop merch too. Visiting from Seattle and pleasantly surprised Absolutely will be back, on my next visit 👌🏽
The golf course is good, it’s not great, with a lot of potential. The fairways need a lot of work but it seems to be the standard for most affordable golf courses around San Diego. The greens are in great shape. The back nine is fun to play! Some interesting layouts. The staff is friendly and helpful enough to get by. I will play it again if the opportunity presents itself.
This is a really cool golf course. Is it perfect? No. But, I have yet to play a full size 18 hole course in the $40-$60 range that is. What is really cool is you see the remnants of what once was a very respectable golf course. If you are playing from the white or black tees, you will see some really well thought out teeing areas. Greens were firm and were pretty fast. Fairways were average for the price, with some expected dead and burnt out spots. Most bunkers were hard packed sand. And if you land in the rough be prepared to potentially not be in grass. Despite all this, i enjoyed the layout of the course and will be coming back. Also appreciate that many areas are clearly marked with white painted lines to denote ground under repair areas, so you don’t feel bad moving your ball. The staff was also very friendly. I highly recommend this golf course. Go try it out and have a great time!
Reasonably priced day of golf. Fairways were a little rough but the greens were in good shape. Staff was very nice and happy to help if needed. Stopped at the shop after 9 for a snack. The hot dog was pretty good and fairly cheap. Looking forward to going back again soon.
This course offers a reasonably-priced, fun day of golf with beautiful, rustic views of the East County hills. A little rough around the edges. But so am I. HaHa! Friendly crowd at the 19th. Not over booked. All of the amenities. Just be sure to bring some extra balls, which can get lost when hit into the sycamore and cottonwood leaves. Good times and good on the wallet!
