Once again I followed an outing and sure enough it took 5 hours to play. Will tournaments ever play in a reasonable time frame?? This course is very nice. Putts roll true and the greens are fast. It is too bad they don't hold very well. It was hard to hold short irons even from the fairway. There are 4 short par 3's of which 3 of them require very precise iron shots. Tough pin placements and firm fast greens........not easy... If wind blows forget about it.

They have let the rough grow very long, it's easy to lose a ball just a few feet off the fairway. The weather has not been too warm so far this summer so the course is in excellent shape.

greens were a bit off, but the fairways were great. Long grass in the roughs hard to hit out of. Friendly pro shop. Beautiful views.

Played The Vineyards today, June 7, 05.
They Aereated the front 9 on Sunday and were working on the back 9 today.
They DID NOT tell us whin we made our starting time on Sunday afternoon, so we were pissed.
They did have a little price break but not much.
So, don't forget to ask whin you make your starting times.

Course layout is fun. Firm fairways make you rethink hitting driver, as the holes often don't play that long, or narrow at the driver distances. If greens were smooth and quick would rate a lot highe... Continue »

Nice outing on Sunday, May 22. Pro shop gave us the city discount even though we're not residents of Escondido or San Diego. Cart attendant/starter was a little surly for our early morning tee time. Decent pace of play. Nice, tight fairways; perfect greens (although a bit firm); awful bunkers (wet sand in most, spun sugar in others - no consistency). OK value for $60 on a Sunday.

Very rough around the edges. I couldn't believe how empty the course was for a Saturday mid-morning round. I guess high green fees combined with poor course conditions are the perfect combination to... Continue »

Very rough around the edges. I couldn't believe how empty the course was for a Saturday mid-morning round. I guess high green fees combined with poor course conditions are the perfect combination to help improve weekend pace-of-play issues. Notwithstanding the great pace-of-play, I don't think I'll ever be back.

Greens are in decent shape except for a few bare spots on the back 9. Bunkers are bad with super shallow sand and little pebbles. Fantastic mountain views. Nice course.
