Not sure what to think of Mission Trails golf course. A part of me thinks it’s a decent deal for the money and another part of wonders why I opted to play a course in such shabby conditions. The whole course seemed way overwatered today. The greens aren’t bad but the fairways were soaked. They had the 90 degree rule in effect today. Not sure if they are in the middle of something but seemed odd to have a course this wet this time of year. If you never played here, it’s a short layout with some nice doglegs to make things interesting. The course is tucked into a little canyon and there are some hills out there. It’s American Golf run so that speaks for itself. I little more of TLC would go a long way.

Maderas golf club is in perfect condition right now. I took advantage of a holiday deal they are running until the 24th. From 11 – 1, Sunday – Thursday the rate is $80 for residents and non-residents. $80 for 18 holes on this track is an incredible value. The normal resident rate on the weekend before 11 is $125 so you can see the saving. I’ve played Maders golf club probably 4 times now and it’s my favorite golf course in San Diego. I completely recommend this course to everyone. Tip – don’t try to overpower this course. It will take great iron shots, good putting, and STRAIGHT but not long drives to score.
