played as a single joining a very older 3some on a very warm turning hot by the time we finished on thursday 9/17...tee time 840..price 34.00 including my own unshared cart..pop was 415..check in very easy/starter assaigned you a cart and 1st tee here we go..pro shop and first tee are about 30 yards apart(that helps when you are running behind and only have 4 minutes before tee time after you check in) putting green is fairly large next to 1st tee..played the blues 6315/slope 127.. fairways are mostly sloping one side more than the other..most are fairly narrow 30 to 40 yards wide a few browning spots but mostly good coverage..they are trying to keep every thing green which causes overwater sections of the fairways, over half had a spot or two of muddy fairways grade 7..bunkers were not consist and very wet/muddy(saw maintance working on 2 during my round and only the 18th greenside had grass clumps/weeds growing in it..grade 5..greens very very good with above average speed/again most of the collars around the greens were overaly moist..grade 8
quiet/nature/no homes on the front nine/rough was spotty and most areas were habit sensitive so if you hit it in there just wave to your ball as you drive by..snack bar was nice and large/no cart girl on my visit/no water stations/bathroom on the course was porta pots
overall a real country feel and a great value for the senior price of 34.00 with cart/about a 50 min drive from sdsu...highly recomend

I played as a single on 9/16/2020 with a 10:00am tee time. POP was fine, getting around in 4:10. Marshalls are sorely missed here at times but overall it's not bad.

The fariways and greens were in great shape. A few tees, while mostly lush, have some pretty serious divot damage. If was nearly impossible to find a decent spot on a couple fo the par 3 tee boxes. Ove... » More

I played as a single on 9/16/2020 with a 10:00am tee time. POP was fine, getting around in 4:10. Marshalls are sorely missed here at times but overall it's not bad.

The fariways and greens were in great shape. A few tees, while mostly lush, have some pretty serious divot damage. If was nearly impossible to find a decent spot on a couple fo the par 3 tee boxes. Overall though, the course is in very nice shape, especially given the severe weather we've been seeing.

This course is a serious test of your short game. Huge collars surround all the greens and depending on pin placement it can be tough to get tight to most pins. Sadly, I noticed a lot of players playing from the blue tees that absolutely shouldn't have been and as a result sometimes we waited on a few tees.

as always, I had a great time here and look forward to going back. you can only get aa senior discount if you have a senior card, which seemed like a lot of hassle, but that's about the only concern I had. Covid procedures are as expected, masks in the clubhouse, food only through a small window, and such, but again, not a big deal.

I always look forward to playing the goat. I can not believe just how much better the course is condition wise from my last time here. Night & Day. And I suspect it will only get better. While the greens roll well, they are still too slow for my taste, but I suspect if they were firm and fast, one would never be able to finish a round of golf there. They are small, undulat... » More

I always look forward to playing the goat. I can not believe just how much better the course is condition wise from my last time here. Night & Day. And I suspect it will only get better. While the greens roll well, they are still too slow for my taste, but I suspect if they were firm and fast, one would never be able to finish a round of golf there. They are small, undulating and just tough !

As i did not bring any kind of game with me, the course absolutely humbled me. This course can humble you when you play well, so when you struggle, it makes for a brutal day, BUT, despite that, still love playing here and will return again soon. For those who have never played the Goat, don't me put off by the short yardage, this course is all you've be able to handle.
