Played 1/20 11 am .... 4.5 hrs. The course is in decent winter condition. Fairways mostly brown but played fine. There are many bare or bad spots around but not bad enough to cause a lot of problems. The greens were in pretty good shape. Not their usual great that they normally are but not bad at all. A little bumpy but rolled med/med. Fast. Bunkers their normal crappy hard condition. Cart girl came by twice. Course was not very busy but we were behind a slow foursome behind a slow foursome. But with nobody behind us it gave us time to try some shots over. Still a fun day on a decent course on a beautiful San Diego day. It's hard to beat 70 degrees and sunny in January

Played here twice this week, I recommend playing from the blue tees. It sets the course up for a little more of a challenge & the blue tee boxes are all in great shape. Greens were good, fairways are typical so cal brown during the winter, but decent. great deal!

Played 10/6 Course over all in very good shape. They will be aerating the greens next week. Come out a play a fun course while it's in pretty good shape.

I played here as a twosome on Saturday, September 29th. I had played Eagle Crest a couple years ago in a scramble, remembered enjoying the day, but quite honestly, it was a charity golf tournament so there were probably too many adult beverages consumed and I didn't recall too much about the course.

The first thing that jumped out to me about the course was the quality of the overall condition. The staff has done a great job at Eagle Crest. It has been blazing hot in the area and the course was in really solid shape. I didn't have a bad lie in the fairway all day (I actually hit a few, which is rare), the rough was slightly inconsistent but I never have a problem with that. For some reason I figure if you hit the ball in the "rough" it should be rough pulling off a quality shot. Call me crazy. Finally, the greens were very healthy and rolled true. I'd say they were on the medium speed level, but didn't have any of the "fuzziness" or "furriness" that I've found at other courses in the same price range in the area, and that was nice. Every putt I hit rolled true and they held very well. That's all I can ask.

Finally, I loved the layout. I think the main reason that I didn't remember the course much was that they scramble I played in was from the White tees and we played the Blues. Not only did we play the blues, but they had us stretched back on tee boxes that I didn't even know existed and this course is as tough a driving course as any in the area from back there. I found the layout to be interesting on every hole with good variation through all 18 (doglegs, elevation changes, short and long holes, really solid par 3.s).

We paid $49 a person on Golfnow.com for a 10:24 am tee time on a Saturday and I felt I got a terrific value. Pace of play was about 4 hrs 15 min as a foursome and that rocks. I think they are punching in about two weeks so go play now, I think you'll be happy you did.

Played afternoon 9/23. Course in very good shape. Rough is thick and penalizing. Fairway's are mostly lush with an occasional brown spot and some woolly spots as well. Greens where in very good shape. They were a little bumpy from all the traffic of the day, but still putted well at medium/ fast speed. Traps are horrible like most San Diego courses. Pace of play was very slow at 5 + hrs.

Played at 7 am this morning. Great value at 49 to ride. Greens were above average running at 9. Fairways were in good shape, but very wet. Sand traps were very very wet...unplayable...rough was super thick. Pace of play was 4 hr 15 mins. Good value, but summer conditions bc of heat makes the course below their normal high standards.

Played this track Sunday the 19th early with my grandsons. Teed it up at 8am hoping to beat the heat and with the lack of golfers out there on this day we were able to do just that. Hole #1 was under some intensive construction where half this hole was dug up pretty good, but that would be the only major problem we would encounter this day. I found the greens in an overall slow pace, but easy to keep yopur line. I did have an issue with the bunkers out here, there seemed to be more hard dirt than sand so any greenside bunker play was not very good. Some of the tee boxes were not level and a little deep with grass height but again playable. I liked the way the fairways opened up for you as you teed off, made you hit the ball straighter and with all the rattlers in deep grass and trees you did not want to go looking for errant shots. Pace of play was awesome on this day, we werwe able to get our 18 hole round in under 4 hours. But I do need to ask, that this being only my second round of golf here in California why are there NO restrooms or porta potties on your courses??? We were told by a groundskeeper early in our round he did not know if there was anywhere to go except the trees. HAHA Over all I really liked this track and would play it again.

Played 7/30 in the morning. No one was out...round took 3.5 hours to complete.

Tree maintenance on hole 1, so they started us on the back 9. Greens are possibly the best in San Diego and I play a lot of courses here. There's just virtually no divots.

That being said the bunkers are quite possibly the worst. They always seem to have water in them and not a lot of sand.

Fairways are in good shape. No problems. When we got the front 9 the maintenance didn't stop, they just kept cutting away while in your backswing. This standard for most SD courses. Places like the Vineyard, Doubletree and Eagle Crest have workers continue mowing while you are playing right next to them.

Overall though, it's a great place to play if you don't mind the drive and the crappy bunkers. The greens are perfect and the layout requires some strategy.

Played twilight 6/16. Got out a 4pm and finished in 3.5 hrs. The course over all is in good shape and plays well. Fairway's mostly green with an occasional GUR area. The greens were not their normal perfect. They were lush & soft but, putted very slow and a little bumpy. Nothing a haircut & roll wouldn't fix. The traps do need some new sand. They added some sand a couple years back, but it has small rocks/clods and they find their way onto the greens. Tough to beat the $30 round on a fun course in the evening.
