What a great little course in Carlsbad...The Crossings has it all...a good array of fun to challenging holes with great views...Course was in PERFECT shape..Practice facility was top notch...and I recommend the breakfast burrito....A perfect family getaway location due to Lego Land right next door (a place to sneak out from the family and get a round in)

Played 2 rounds at this course on a whim on 9/19/2010 with 3 of my buddies. We tee'ed off at 8am. When done by 12:00pm. Weather was great so we wanted to play again....Only to find out the replay rate is only a cart fee of $16...WOW and off we go again at 12:45pm with a full lunch in us from the Grill right there on site (FOOD WAS AWESOME, and quick). The Pro Staff was one of the best I have ever dealt with. Very helpful and nice.

Now the course...The course starts out with wide open fairways so we started to think this course was a bit to easy....then the holes start to go on...and as you continue on the course the holes start to get some teeth and gets a bit tougher....then the afternoon winds kick in and it gets pretty tough on some holes..

Over all the 36 hole day was a great experience for us all and we will be going back next September for our weekend golf getaway.

The course fairways where in such great shape. Never a bad lye on the fairway and always rewarded for a good drive off the tee. The rough was challenging all through the course and the greens where in great shape with good roll. It was one of the only courses that I have played on that the greens didn't have any noticable divots...People take pride in the course both staff and players and the divots where always fixed on the greens. That was noice to see and play on.

Not the toughest course in that area but one of the nicest with look and views. Plus there is a lot to do outside the course in Solvang.

Fun Day....

Rustic Canyon has been one of my favorite courses for years due to price and condition. You get a great golf outting for a good price and they seem to never disappoint.

Yesterdays (9-12-10) outting was much the same. Course was in great shape. Green fairways, fast greens in great shape...The only problem...very little or no cart servise. It was a hot day and the lack of refreashments was tough. If courses don't want golfers to bring their own then they should have 2 carts running on the hotter days...Rustic Canyon is a Links Course so there isn't a lot of shade to be had and water collers are far between.

Rustic Canyon is a great course to walk and great workout to do so since it is mostly flat. More Cart service on the hotter days is needed...

But as always it was a great golf day at a well taken care of public course.
