I was able to play Mt. Woodson today 3/13/11. The greens are outstanding right now! They were firm and fast and rolled very pure. The fairways were good but a little patchy, that is to be expected in the wintertime I think. The rough was good also! I really enjoyed playing out there again. I definately want to get back out there soon. If you have never played Mt. Woodson you are in for a treat. Don't be discouraged by the length of the course. It's very short but its very difficult if you don't hit the ball straight. I think this is a MUST play for anobody in San Diego. It is a target golf course so accuracy is a must! I hope you enjoy it and leave the ball below the hole!

Played Pelican Hill South yesterday 3/10/11. It is an absolute treat to play this course. It was much tighter than I thought it would be and there were a lot more trees than I was anticipating as well. The views were amazing and the holes challenging! I very much enjoyed playing this course... Now for the nitpicking. The greensfees are $250+ and for that kind of money I expect perfection. I was a bit disappointed in some areas. The greens were very inconsistent meaning a couple greens actually had punch marks and sand over them. Another green just had sand. The rest were pretty good. It was hard to get a good feel for speed because they didn't all roll the same. There was also quite a bit of scarring on the greens from pitch marks not being fixed properly. We also had a caddy who wasn't very good at all. Unfortunately for us we were his first foursome EVER. Not good. At one point he was trying to give me yardage and I told him he was wrong...he had the yardage book out for the North course! I also found my playing partners clubs in my bag quite a few times during the round. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the day and had a great time but again for $250 I expect a little more.

Played Carlton Oaks today 3/6/11. This is definately a hidden jewel in San Diego. I am fortunate enough to live close to the course. I read a review earlier that was favorable about the course but not very good about the driving range. That is spot on! The balls on the range are a disgrace to golfballs and the course should really do something about it! The course on the other hand is extremely good. The greens were fairly slow today but they were rolling true and slightly firm. The course is in good overall condition but it is a great test of golf. If you are a scratch or low handicap then the Black tees will surely test your skill. From the blacks, this is one of the toughest courses around. There are 4 sets of tees overall so anyone of any skill level can feel comfortable out here. I definately recommend playing this course plus they have a great remodeled bar for after your round!

Played Torrey Pines South course yesterday. I LOVE this course. I don't know why some people give this course a poor review. I do understand it's a lot of money if you aren't a resident but there are not that many courses the public can play that host a PGA tournament every year and also has hosted a US Open. The course was in great shape! The greens are perfect and hold the ball very well. The sand traps were perfect and the rough was difficult. The course in in outstanding shape right now. I just hope I can get out there again before the punch the greens the first part of march.

Played San Vicente today for the first time. I don't know why I haven't gone here to play more. The course was much better than I had anticipated. The greens were firm and fast! It is a very traditional course which isn't too long and the greens slope from back to front. There was more water than I thought would be out there also plus you have to place the ball in the right spots. I found a great deal to play there on ilovegolfdeals.com and it was well worth it! I'm really looking forward to going back there. I hope you enjoy it as much as me!

Played today 9/5/10. The course was in great condition. The greens were smooth and rolling pretty good. They weren't as fast as I've seen them but I'm sure thats because of the extreme heat they have out there in Ramona. We were first out and finished in 2 hours 20 min. As always, you have to hit the ball straight out there and the scenery is beautiful. I very much enjoy playing this course. I do miss hitting my driver at times but accuracy is rewarded out here.

I played Steele Canyon today 6/25/10. I was disappointed that nobody told us that Meadow was punched two weeks ago. I paid online to play Canyon, Ranch but when I got there I was told Ranch was closed because they were punching it today. Canyon was in good shape and I think that is the best 9 on this course. The greens weren't as fast as I remember them being but they were true and the course was in good condition. When we turned to Meadow the course was still in good shape and the greens weren't horrible. They rolled ok but were terribly slow as they were sandy and punched two weeks ago. The real disappointment for me came with the staff. I had the feeling they didn't care about anything or anyone. It was a horrible experience and one that I did not expect from this course. From the pro shop to the returant and the starter, nobody seemed to care about customer service or the experience. It was very disappointing.

I played last friday 6/18/10. Torrey Pines South is an absolute treat to play. The course is in great condition right now but it was incredibly soft. I was very suprised at how long the course was playing with the softness of the fairways and greens and also with the marine layer the ball just does not go very far. I found myself coming up a full club short on many shots. I can't wait to get out here again though. There weren't very many people on the course and we finished in about 4 1/2 hrs. I love this course!!

Just played Carlton Oaks in the Santee City Amateur this last weekend. This course is GOOOOD and difficult! I love the layout and the greens are really fast. I think they had them rolling about a 12 during the tournament. They were a little bumpy though and the course just needs some TLC (actually some money put into it). The greensfees are very very fair for what you get. If they got the course into the condition it could be in, it would cost much much more to play. I definately recommend playing here if you are up for a challenge.

I played Torrey South on 11/16/09. This is the only course that I can't wait to play and just get excited the whole way there. Then the course gives me a beatdown and reality sets in. The course is in EXCELLENT condition and the greens are running pretty fast. I tee'd off at 12:20 and finished 18 pretty much in the dark. I wouldn't recommend teeing off any later than that if you want to finish. We were definitely the last group to finish the round.

Very fun course to play with some difficult holes. The course condition is just ok but you really can't beat it for the money. Also plays pretty fast. Usually 4 hrs or less.
