Played yesterday, Monday, March 9. Called the starter around noon and he said he had an opening for a single at 1:20, perfect. Showed up a little early and he worked me in at 1pm. Played with some great guys, Marty, Chris and George. $46 to walk. POP the usual 4.75hrs. Acceptable for Nado, it just gets a lot of play.

Conditions good to great all around. Blue tees mostly level with adequate coverage. They were playing a little bit more forward than usual. Fairways were very good to excellent. Very good cushion and good amount of roll. No problems whatsoever. Just a joy to play from. Rough wasn't too penal, just an inch to inch and half long, so not much of a problem.

Even with some morning rain, the bunkers were just fine.

Greens were in good to great shape. Sneaky quick downhill. Got a little bumpy later in the day which is expected, but no huge complaints.

Customer service is always great. Sean/Shawn is a new starter and he's already fitting right in. Great guy. Proshop check in no problem. Beverage cart around twice. Always a treat to play Coronado. Highly recommend and it's a great walkable course.

Played Sunday, March 1st, 8am teetime, but the starter got us out about 20mins early which was awesome. POP no problem, a smooth 4hrs. We had three of us walking and one riding.

Conditions sure are a mixed bag. Teeboxes were acceptable. Level, no problem, but a little shaggy with plenty of divot damage. Just take an extra few seconds to find a good spot to tee it up.

Fairways were borderline, very shaggy, hadn't been mown for days. Quite a few unfilled divots and lots of bare areas, too. We played the ball down, but I sure wouldn't argue if you played some winter rules right now, they are in pretty poor shape in about 50% of the fairway area.

Greens were acceptable. No huge complaints. They were a little slow on the front nine but quickened up after the dew dried. Plus it seemed the entire back nine was in a little better condition than the front. They held shots very well, but had a few bumps to throw your ball off line every once in a while.

Found one greenside bunker and it was great. Nice fluffy, well maintained sand. No problem whatsoever.

Rough was thick and filled with clover. Avoid it at all cost, if possible. Very difficult to even find your ball in that clover as the ball tends to sit underneath the big clover leaves.

Service was great except the guy in the proshop was quite the dud. I mentioned that Sea n Air was $53 to walk and Miramar was $55 to walk making a joke and he didn't want any part of that conversation. It was a joke, sir, lighten up. Starter was awesome!! and the beverage cart was great!!! Very friendly bev cart and saw her twice.

Super flat course, easy walk. There are some great holes out there, though. Nice dog legs and tree lined for the most part which was visually appealing on many holes. I would definitely recommend.

Few days late on the review. Played Sunday, Feb 15. Tee time 9am. $53 civilian walking rate, well worth it. POP was excellent at 4hrs. Waited a little bit on the front 9 but then blazed through the back. What a fun course, it was only my second time playing it.

White tee boxes were in great shape. Nicely mown and very level. No complaints other than they were a little hard packed underneath and I tee the ball low, so broke quite a few tees.

Fairways in great shape. Perfect roll and cushion. Visually they're awesome, as well, as they are a perfect lighter shade of green than the rough and they were mown perfectly to show a great crisply mown contrast against the darker color rough. They get pinched in many landing areas so very narrow, some are only about 15-20 yds wide.

Found one bunker greenside and it was great. No problems.

Rough was lush and thick. Ball tended to sit down and definitely made you grip firm and hit down on the ball as best as possible.

Greens were great. Held shots very well and putted true with a fast pace especially when the dew dried. They got quick and were a blast to putt.

Customer service was just fine. The guy at the main gate was awesome. Proshop was no frills. And the starter was hilarious. Beverage cart was out and about and the lady in the snack bar was a kick!!!! All and all, just a great day. Perfect weather with 3 great friends. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic day yesterday at the outing. Perfect weather and perfectly run/organized event. Very cool course, too!!

Those greens were absolutely insane, very fast and almost impossible with downhill or side hill putts. They held shots well and we had a few bump off line, but for the most part it was entertaining, to say the least. I putted off the green three times!!! Hole 8 on the Vista was a joke as putts came back down hill a good 5 feet from the hole if you missed, but the rest of them were fun.

Everything else about the course was in great shape!! I could easily be a member here. Great layout and convenient location. 3nines is always great, too.

Thanks Johnny for taking excellent care of everyone. My entire group was impressed.

You know what, I'm going to edit this post and provide a little more detail into the people that were in my group and what an incredible guy Johnny is. My brother is a retired fireman, LA City, he retired in 2024 and was diagnosed with agressive cancer at the same time. He's hanging in there and he was the main reason for this golf outing. Then my BFF of 50yrs (I'm 56 to give you perspective) was with us, obviously he's very close to my older brother as they've known each other that entire time, as well and share the name of Greg. Then the fourth was my brothers fireman comrade, Greg Malais, who got his leg ran over by a fire truck on the job back in 2002 and is an amputee. He fought like hell to get back on the fire task force and proved he could still be as good of a fireman as any able bodied guy, also working his way up to Captain II like my brother. So johnny welcomed them all with open arms and put us in group 1A and we just had a magical day!!! thanks to all.
