Played here on june 6th with high hopes as I had been here in March and conditions where Fair. Sorry to say things are BAD! Fairways are Rock hard. Greens where FUZZY and bumpy with lots of repair patches. Traps fair to middlin. Tee Boxes where horrible no grass on many. Save your money and play elsewhere. $27 to walk is 20 too much. I WON'T BE BACK For a long while, if ever. What a shame they have let this course go to sh-t e. Makes Bonita look like Augusta, LOL !

Played here on Saturday, 2/27, with a Facebook group outing. There was over 80 of us, I believe, and the course did a great job handling the volume. No shotgun, had regular teetimes from 8am-11am. POP was pretty slow, as to be expected with all the festivities going on, it was overall about 5hrs. But we had fun, nonetheless. Enjoyed everyone's company and had a lot of good laughs.


The course conditions continue to struggle here. Teeboxes were just fine, not many complaints on these, they were fairly level with adequate coverage. I found one sand trap and it was in decent shape, actually. Nice sand and definitely the highlight of conditions on the course. Fairways continue to be autrocious. We played winter rules and for good reason. They are struggling with these fairways. Very barren and patchy grass. Rough was not much of an issue, continues the patchy grass theme and not long at all. The greens putted OK, fairly smooth and quick. However, they wouldn't hold a shot to save your life. Expect at least 5-10 yds of roll, even with short irons. I don't remember seeing any ballmarks, they're rock hard. Customer service was excellent. Beverage cart was around twice, nice hotdog at the turn, check in was easy. $35 to walk on a Saturday isn't too bad, but I'm going to stay away for quite awhile, it's a shame, because there's some neat holes on this mature tree-lined course. It has a pretty good layout with lots of water and some OB. I don't use driving ranges, but it looked fairly beat up and the larger practice green is for chipping, there's a small practice green for putting and it's pretty useless with severe slopes, not super indicative of the course.

Played Saturday, 2/13. Called the proshop around 9am and they said come on out as a single and I arrived at 9:30 and got right out with a threesome that was already on the tee. I like firing fresh out of the gate, actually. Check in fast and easy and played with some nice guys. That's about where the good things of the course ends. $38 to walk, not worth any price in my opinion right now.

Everything about this course is questionable condition-wise. Teeboxes are chewed up. Fairways are a total disaster (and I play the ball down so I can post scores with confidence and conscience). The rough has better lies than the fairways, ridiculous as I only missed two fairways. Found one bunker and it actually wasn't too bad, probably the best part of the course is the bunkers. Greens are rock hard and don't hold shots at all!! At least they had good coverage and were fast, but fairly bumpy.

I have avoided this course over the years because of the condition and only played because I'm in a golf outing on Feb 27 and really didn't remember the layout, so wanted to get a refresh. I'm having second thoughts on playing in two weeks, but I've already comitted and don't want to back out. Hopefully, they get it in a little better shape for our group on the 27th, but I'd stay away for now.

Played Sunday, 9/22. Found a $25 deal on their website. Seemed like a good deal, but not so much. The course needs some serious work. POP was 4.25hrs, not bad. That's about the only good thing about this course right now.

Teeboxes and fairways were awful!!! mostly dirt. Bunkers were playable, but no one seems to rake them for some reason. Total joke. Not much rough to speak of, mainly dirt and weeds. Greens were about the only thing playable. Some would hold shots and some wouldn't, mixed bag, made it difficult for me to really go pin seeking, aim for the center of the green and hope for the best. I would NOT recommend playing this course right now. It's a shame because I like the layout. Hopefully, they can bring this course into playable condition someday. Until then, I'm staying away.

Staff in the pro shop was great. I walked on as a single on a sunday morning and Steve in the pro shop got me out in half hr. I teed off at 9:30 and we finished at 2pm. POP wasn't that bad, we had a long wait on number 9 and waited a couple other times, but overall can't complain.

This course layout is really nice. I haven't played here for about 20yrs because the conditions aren't that great.

Teeboxes were ok, had to search for a decent place to put the tee, but overall they were acceptable.

Fakrways were pretty much hideous. tons of weeds, dead spots, high grass, etc. Complete bag in the fairway. Lift clean and place for sure!! they were deplorable.

Sand traps looked like crap, but they actually played ok. I was in two of them greenside and they had weeds growing and weren't that attractive, but they played ok.

Greens were definitely the saving grace of the course. They held shots just fine and putted fairly true. They had some bad patches and putted offline a few times, but for the most part, they were ok. about the only thing good about the course.

Overall, I'd stay away right now. I wish they'd put some time and money into this course, it's a pretty killer layout. lots of water, ob, small greens, etc. It's got alot going for it, but the conditions are borderline playable if you want to play the ball down, which is how you are supposed to play golf. Lift clean and place in the fairway is not playing by the rules, in my book. Oh well, had a good time, nonetheless. Hope they bring this course around, someday.

After reading the review from Sdscratchorbust I decided to give CV a chance last Wednesday. Found a good deal on their website for $19 with cart at around 1:30PM.

Sdscratchorbust review is pretty much spot on. The only thing I would add is how surprised I was there were little to no ball marks on the greens. The greens are the best part of the course.

Pace of play was good, finished front 9 in about an 1:15 and then got held up on the back. Still finished the round in about 3 hours and 15 minutes.

I would suggest if you can find a good deal (I paid 19 that's just over a dollar a hole) you should give it a chance.

I hadn't played here in awhile. With just about every other course in San Diego having their greens punched I was searching for some rolling greens. Luckily smooth medium speed greens can be found at Chula Vista right now. Fairways are spotty with dry patches. They still have not fixed the fairway on no 3 following the flood damage to the hole. The par 4 is playing at a par 3 with a teebox in the fairway. Slight disappointment since it is a fun risk reward par 4. I think it is a fun track. It's a little tight but with so many 500 yard reachable par 5s you have green lights all day. If you play winter rules in the fairway, you will have a fun round. The reedming factor is that the greens and surrounding turf is well watered and maintained. They roll true and have a fair speed for a muni. It always plays a little slow. It's a great value and is a fun self esteem boost when you want a course where you have a green light to attack the pin every hole and hit a lot of birdies. I always enjoy Chula and the staff is beyond friendly. They also have a real sweet cute girl who runs the outdoor snack grill which is always a plus.

Got out today after months of inactivity as far as golf goes.
Had a great time finding myself very surprised to see grass on the course, green.
They got hole #3 shortened up to par 3 distance at about 160 yards due to the construction of the over pass alongside the hole and what I guess is the fear lots of balls could be flying towards the workers if the have the original tees open.
Fairways were very patchy, tee boxes were decent, the greens were the highlight running medium to fast with downhill putts very fast.
We tee'd off at 2pm finishing up about 515pm. We were riding today.
Staff was friendly as well as accomodating since we had issues with our cart after 12 holes so we called into the pro shop and they had someone out there with a replacement at the tee box for the 13th hole.
Drinks and food are available right across the pro shop so picking something up after 9 headed to 10 was quick.
Didn't score well but had a great time being out taking swings at that little white ball.

It's been awhile (10 years maybe?) and I forgot how tough this place can play! It was very windy today, you add that in with hardpan/bare fairways, inconsistent rough, rock hard greens, protected by steep bunkers with fall offs all around and you get a tough cookie to chew! Hardpan 20 yds from the green, then thatched sticky rough around the green (or over the aforementioned steep bunkers) makes for some tough up and downs coming into sloped rock hard greens.
Tee boxes: played the blues, they were mostly level and decent enough to play from (off a tee)
Fairways: hardpan/bare with lots of run until you got within 20 to 30 yes from the green where in would thicken up so you had a tough time running shots up to the green
Rough: varied from non-existent to decent 2 to 3 inches, but very inconsistent
Bunkers: the ones I was in were great, best part of the course!
Greens: still showing signs of being punched, but actually rolled well and were fast! Don't know me no stimp meter lingo, but they were fast. Problem was you couldn't stop anything on them. I hit some beautiful high pitch shots with spin that simply released and ran well past my intended target . . . I kept going higher and higher with not much better results!
POP: played in less than 4 1/2 hrs so not bad
Service: clubhouse nice and professional, didn't see a snack cart but they have "ambassadors" that bring cold water out.
Overall: Walkable course, interesting layout with a few tough holes to get par on. If it were in good condition I'd play it more often than every 10 years or so, but it is a city course and serves it's purpose.
