June 4, 2014. A beautiful day in Eastern Chula Vista on a Ted Robinson design with the usual waterfall or a pond fronting a par three or a par five. The course was in the best condition I have seen in many a year. The teeing areas had some bumps but were level with a nice seeding of grass. A few thin spots on the overall filled in fairways and the second cut was grown in on all areas surrounding the fairways and framed the greens nicely. Bunkers were groomed and the few I were in had depth enough for standard explosion shots. The greens were tiered and smooth with few ball marks and rolled at a medium to slow pace.
Our 9:15 starting time put our foursome behind a threesome that moved out nicely and allowed us to complete our round in just under four hours. No on course cart amenities on this day with the clubhouse snack bar serving as the halfway house.
Green fees are on the high side as I was quoted a $69 per player fee when reserving the tee time. Look for specials. Senior rate of $35.
Tee it up at Eastlake CC soon, as the summer heat will wilt the course in no short amount of time.
