We had the second time off at 6:10am, but thanks to Mark in the pro shop, he allowed us to get out first, so obviously there was no pace of play issues. Nice smooth easy pace of 2 1/2 hours. Thank you Mark !

Course was in better condition than I'd expected. Greens rolled well, albeit too slow for my taste. But they held the shots very well! Most of the fairways were green/lush and pretty nice. Rough was a mixed bag, but for the most part acceptable. The greenside bunkers were so wet and soft, it was really difficult to gage how much sand to take. And of course today I was I lots of greenside bunkers, which totally derailed my score.

I just really like this course, the flow, the mix of easy and hard holes, no homes adjacent to the holes, no street traffic, just a bunch of fun holes, a challenge but not so much to punish you. (Except for #6, which has my number !)

Staff is ALWAYS great and accommodating. A bit pricey, but sometimes you have to pay a few extra $$ to get what you want.

I play here 4-5 times a week , so I do not review often....greens are the best they have been in years, working hard to keep the fungus away, tees good, fairways just aerated, so they are coming around, not as thin as they were, rough is spotty, my only gripe is the bunkers, way too wet, also, working to improve the range...customer service is exceptional...wait, one more gripe. reverse shotgun starts really irk me, ask the shop before you set up a tee time, just to be on the safe side...drive safely, stay healthy, CGG...

POP: 3:25 Weather: Overcast/Mid 60's Time: 6:10am Date: 6/22/19 Service and Amenities: Staff is very friendly and pretty jovial for being that early in the morning. They have members only locker room but allow some access to the playing public. I have never tried their food as we always play here early morning before any of that stuff opens. Large putting green/chipping area near the first tee but the range is a trek from the clubhouse; definitely need to take a cart there. I have never used their range so I cannot comment on its condition. Greens: The greens are this course are relatively easy to read with the exception being the few with some large tiers and a deceiving slopes that blend well with the surround topography. Greens were rolling relatively slow, albeit true. The greens were a bit firmer than I remember but were still holding shots and even backing up wedges on a few. Fairways: The fairways were very firm and getting better than last time I played them. While there exist some barespots on the fringes of the holes intended play areas, if you keep it in the center of them, there is a nice lush grass pillow to hit off of. They provided very nice rollout and good lies for iron shots on average. Some of the fairways require local knowledge for tee shots because a well placed center landing may roll off into the rough or OB on a few holes due to severe slopes with quick fairways. Bunkers: Bunkers were a bit odd...greenside bunkers were very firm with thin lies while the fairway bunkers tended to have about 2" of soft sand in them. Our group had a few "Fried-Eggs" in fairway bunkers from tee shots but not a single one when missing an approach shot into a greenside bunker. Tee Boxes: Flat but thin. Could always find a level teeing spot, however some of the par 3s had pretty bad/deep divots. Rough: About 1" long in spots and but other spots were completely bare. Depending on how it was sitting, the rough was deep/thick enough to produce crazy fliers. Not too tough to get a club through at all. Overall: Not a bad course to play for the $64 price tag on the weekend but it is a trek from San Diego proper. It has a fun layout and but is still a work in progress. Go check it out to help them afford to keep their rehabilitation going!

Played here today (6/9/18) with fellow GK member Bill visiting from Michigan on a TeeOff.com discounted tee time (8am) for roughly $55. I normally don't announce the green fee but I felt that for a prime time Sunday morning tee time, the price was more than fair. Today was a story of bad play but great greens. Overall, it was an enjoyable time with good playing partners and warm weather.

Tee boxes: Probably the worst part of the course today; only mediocre condition. Tee boxes varied from rock hard turf to melted butter when driving in the tee. Blue tees were more than chewed up and some of the marker placements were just unfair.

Fairways: Good condition overall. They offered more than adequate turf conditions, visually pleasing to the eye, and a fair amount of roll. A few divots but those are from people stupidly not filling them.

Rough: Not overly penal, though what was really killer as always is the ESA. It's prevalent and it bites back on bad shots.

Bunkers: Was only in one today and it was in good shape. More beach sand than pearl white grains, but enough sand present in order to try for sand saves. Sand condition was good.

Greens: The absolute highlight of the round. The greens were fabulous; a wonderful forest green area of fine carpet. Varied in size but all rolled true and slow all day. Some of the best played all year.

ETC: Carts lacked in GPS and ice in the coolers, which on a 92 degree day, they really needed. Cart girl (the same one as from my very first GK cup match nearly 7 years ago!) seemed to be overwhelmed going around the course and barely made eye contact as she asked "you guys good?." Check-in was good but there was a huge tournament today that caused us to tee off a bit delayed. Pace was still good at just under 4.5 hours but we waited on the entire front 9, with the back 9 speeding up. A good deal warrants a visit for those less than 30 mins away.

Played out here on a nice saturday. The course is in fair shape overall but is playing very hard with all the growth out here. The rain has helped this place cover all the areas you used to be able to miss and still find your ball, now it is very much a target golf course.

Everything was good, greens rolled nicely but had a few areas that had been repaired/replaced and it caused the ball to take a few weird bounces. Fairways were in great shape with good lies all around and the rough was not very penal, but again, miss a fairway and likely you can't find your ball.

Traps good and saw the cart lady on both 9's for the value, this course is great.

Leaving items in the cart most likely means you will not get your items back. I didn't mind not getting my Foot Joy wind breaker back but recently I left my Garmin 8 with holder attached to the cart and it was not returned, my name tag was on the Garmin 8 GPs unit. I have forgotten this at 4 different courses over the years and each time is was available for me to pick up. In other words this course is the only one where my items left in the cart was not found/returned.

One of my favorite courses to play. The staff is always friendly, accommodating, and I never seem to experience any difficulties getting out early. There is just something about this course that "fits my eye". I find several of holes very interesting to play, and enjoy the fact there are not really any parallel fairways.

The course is in decent shape, improving, but still has some issues. Some patchwork repairs on a number of the greens, which was needed based upon my last time playing here. They rolled OK, but not very fast. Fairways for the most part were good, with occasional bare areas.

This would be a course I would consider joining except that it is not practical to walk. (Too much distance between holes) Even from the blue tees, it is still very manageable from the blues for me, except for hole #6, which I just can not seem to handle. It seems to play like 40 yards longer, which makes no sense because it flat?

Played 4/11. Showed up at 8:00 hoping for a 4.5 hour round. Immediately joined up with another single and off we went. Did not see another golfer until #13, when a twosome two holes ahead came back to look for a missing, and I kid you not, tee! OK, it was a special designed tee with string and magnet. Unfortunately, it wasn't there, so they headed off and we didn't see them again until 18 green. Our twosome made it around in just over 3 hours.

I haven't been here in 2 years, and there are changes. Some turf reduction areas to save water are obvious. The rough is being ignored, but that is normal these days. Fairways are OK, they have grass, but it is very short and the ground is very hard. I was getting a pretty painful bounce on iron shots, like hitting off the worst range mats. Great for driver roll, awful for wedges.

Greens were nice. Lots of ballmarks, but the greens rolled smooth. Aeration next week - be warned.

I really noticed the growth of the wild areas - it really has tightened up the course.

In all, still a great layout, and in good enough condition to keep me coming back.

Played 3/15 from the blues (~6500)

First time here. Paired with two locals who play frequently. Generally speaking you can see the fairways from the tee boxes and greens from the fairways. Definitely holes where hooking or slicing result in a lost ball. A few holes require precision tee shots either in accuracy or length (i.e. you don't want to hit too far).

Tee Boxes: Generally good shape, level, and full of grass (3.5 out of 5)

Fairways: Average shape, well manicure, distinction between fairway and 1st cut - found myself in two divots in 9 holes (3 out of 5)

Bunkers: Nice fluffy sand, despite the rain drained well (3 out of 5)

Greens: Good shape: level, well manicured, minimal ball marks (4 out of 5)
