Walked the blue tees yesterday, Thursday, twilight time was for 4:03pm but they got us out with a twosome (Bobby and Zan, great guys) at 3:45pm, excellent work in the pro shop, thanks guys. Quick check in at 3:30 and walked straight down to the first tee. $25 city rate to walk is a solid deal. POP was incredible!!! right at 4hrs!!! Even the 6 tee box was empty when we arrived, true miracle, we waited on that tee box for about2 5mins but that was about2 the only wait we had. Just not too crowded, I guess.

Course conditions are pretty solid right now and will continue to improve over the next few weeks. Cart path only on the first 5 holes as they were doing some overseeding it looked like. Fairways are all in good to great shape! Greens are still healing a little bit from the aeration and they were harder than usual and very quick, beware!!! Rough was lush green but not too high. I didn't find any bunkers, but they looked just fine. Blue tees were good to great, nice coverage and level. Service was great in the proshop. Snack bar was already closed, not a big deal as I BYOB anyway and I couldn't eat any food as I was all whacked on novacaine from the dentist getting a crown on a molar. Great day with great guys. Always recommend this track.

Played oside muni on saturday at 2:50pm, $45 to walk. POP no issues whatsoever, a little waiting once in a while, but finished in 4.25hrs no problems.

Blue tees in pretty good shape, fairly level and good coverage. They weren't perfect, but no complaints.

Fairways kind of a mixed bag. Mostly in good to great shape, but there's a few bare patches here and there. Good cushion and rollout.

Rough is pretty much non existent, off the fairway there is some scattered rough, but if you miss the fairway, you'll probably be in dirt. Not a big deal, that was all part of the major work they did a few years ago for turf reduction.

Sand traps around the greens were very nice. Newish white sand with nice amount of fluffy. No complaints whatsoever.

Greens were still healing from aeration a couple weeks ago. Very bumpy. Not much sand remains and they held shots well, but they need a few more weeks to get healed. There is also some areas of newish sod it looks like that were probably formed during the curtain/surrounding area remodel that still need some help.

Customer service just fine, but they close the bar/snack bar at 5pm so they were already closed when we made the turn, kind of a bummer!!! beware and stock up before you tee off if you're playing twilight.

Always recommend this fun layout. Easy to walk except for hole 12. Very challenging wind from the ocean is usually the case. I personally think the final four holes could be in the top 10 finishes of San Diego. 15 and 16 play crazy long, 17 is crazy narrow and 18 is no cake walk!

Walked the white tees yesterday, Sunday, 4/26. Tee off at 6:40am. $53 to walk and POP was fantastic at 4hrs, a little waiting on the first few holes, but then smooth sailing.

1PLUS1 review is spot on! Nothing to add. I would avoid this place for the next 3-5 weeks. The South looked nice from what I could tell driving in and out of the complex. Maybe hit that course if you need to play Admiral Baker in the near future.

Back out to Bonita for some more cruel and unusual punishment yesterday, Thursday. Walked on around 2pm and checked in as a single on the wait list. Teed off at 3pm. $40 to walk. Excellent POP at a little over 4hrs. That's about the best part of the review.

Blue tees were a mixed bag. Most were level with adequate coverage. Some were completely closed for maintenance (I guess it's a good thing, because they sure need work). They were probably the highlight of the course rated at 5/10.

Fairways, gosh I wish I knew what was going on here. Some holes were in decent shape and some parts were in fantastic shape!! But the remaining 70% of the fairways were awful, dirt patches everywhere. Definitely think about playing all fairways as GUR. You will experience horrible lies at some point in the round. It's a shame and a mystery as you see a gleaming perfect patch of fairway right along side of bare dirt. Can't explain it.

Greens were punched a few weeks ago and are not healed from that quite yet. They were very bumpy. Furthermore, I'm not sure what is happening to the outlining areas, but they are deplorable!!! These patches weren't even on the fringe, these bare areas are all over the surrounding parts of the actual green.

I didn't find any sand traps, but they looked ok. Might be the best part of the course. Rough is really not existent.

I can't recommend right now and not sure if and when I will return. Truly sad, because the layout is not bad, especially the back nine.

Played yesterday, March 31. 3:10 teetime. $44 twilight rate walking. POP was great, just over 4hrs, we finished 18 in pretty much total darkness. Hit it and pray. Miracle that all four of us made it on that final hole without losing our ball.

Conditions overall are acceptable, but definitely wouldn't pay huge rack rate to play here. $44 is well within reason.

Green teeboxes were moved up for the most part. They were doing quite a bit of work on the back tee boxes. They were fairly level and had decent coverage. A few of them were beat up, but no huge complaints overall.

Fairways were pretty good. Nice coverage all over with good cushion. Lots of sand filled divots. I did find a small unfilled divot on hole 7, but that landing area is loaded with divots as it's a very popular spot to be in. It was an impossible lie in a super small deep divot that caused me a double bogey as I dumped into the hazard area to the right of the cart path and almost broke my back, lol.

Rough was minor. Not very long and easy to play from. No worries there.

Sand traps had good fluffly brown sand, but lots of crab grass around the edges. They don't look that great, but played fine.

Greens were a mixed bag. Tons of ball marks that were mostly fixed, but just not fixed well enough. They were fairly smooth and very quick downhill/sidehill. Got bumpy and slower as the day progressed picking up the evening moisture and had some misty air.

Customer service was just fine. Starter is always nice here and saw the beverage cart twice.

Overall, not a huge fan of the course. Holes 4,5 and 7 are just awful which just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Friendly tip, if you're walking, make sure you get a restroom code from the starter!!!
