$30 dollar special in paper made it worth the drive, tight course but fun to play, I will play again with the discount but bring lots of water it gets hot.

Played Sunday, June 1st. Staff helpful and friendly. Proshop and snack bar well stocked and tended. Cart person (Sierra) funny and sweet.

Now to the course...the fairways are just plain bad. This is a beautiful layout with unique challenges, but playing off of tight lies, mud flats, baked out hardpan, or turf netting adds unneccessary frustration and ruins many scoring opportunities. What's the deal here? This course should be in tip top shape, but it isn't. The Superintendant needs to answer some hard questions about his program and his staff if this is the best he can do. I can grow better and thicker grass in my backyard with THREE dogs running it! Some bunkers fluffy, some hard as cement...some greens fast, some fuzzy and slow. Very difficult to find a rhythym on this course, as it doesn't let you get into a flow.

There is really no need for me or my group to come back here until some of these issues are addressed. When courses with many more golfers using them (like Doubletree or the Vineyard) are in far superior condition, why would anyone choose Eagle Crest?

what can i say......i love the layout.....gave it a shot to see what shape its in.....fair is all i can say for now....will give it a try one more time in a month or so. greens hard as a rock at times... Continue »

what can i say......i love the layout.....gave it a shot to see what shape its in.....fair is all i can say for now....will give it a try one more time in a month or so. greens hard as a rock at times, fairways lean in many places. tee boxes ok to fair. sand actually good. some day someone will figure out how to maintain this course. it should be like a singing hills, which is usually in good to great shape. hope it comes back, cause when its in good shape......this is a fun place to play...heres hoping.....

This is in a beautiful setting. There is lots of nature mixed in with nice views of the hillsides. This is also a great layout with nice water holes. However, it ends there. The fairways are in bad... Continue »

This is in a beautiful setting. There is lots of nature mixed in with nice views of the hillsides. This is also a great layout with nice water holes. However, it ends there. The fairways are in bad almost terrible shape. There are thin lies everywhere. The greens should be decent in a week. Sad to see a course with so much potential have such bad fairways and rough. Lots of irons were needed off the tee today.

Played 2/26. The couse was a swamp from the recent rain. One par 5 was changed to par 3 and one par 3 was the cartpath was closed due to flooding and had to detour thru some dirtroad. The only good... Continue »

Played on 01/25/08. Hard to tell the difference between the fairway and the rough from the tee...fairways are not green. The greens were in nice shape however. This was my first time in a long time playing this course, but I was not impressed...maybe it is a winter thing, but I will not rush to play this course again. You can play nicer courses for the same money (i.e. The Vineyard)

This is an UPDATED Review, played on Monday Jan. 14th 2008: This course was in the line of FIRE during the month of October 2007. There are areas around the golf course which were burned, did NOT see any structures or homes lost in the fires. :) To see a TOUR of the course, go to: http://www.EagleCrestGC.com/courseinfo/crsTour.php Very tight & narrow golf course located in Escondido (North of San Diego). This is a MUST play golf course, beautiful scenery, very playable but a challenge for the ladies too. There are certain holes which you need to negotiate properly otherwise you'll end up in the water hazards. Took a long time to play our round, a little over 5 hours for a Monday! The greens were punched 4 months ago & are in excellent condition, very smooth with some speed! The fairways are passable, more like hitting from low rough conditions, hard to tell where the fairway starts & the rough begins. The driving range length is very short, recommend hitting irons ONLY! Very nice LARGE practice putting green & chipping area. There are NO yardage books or GPS systems BUT ALL of the sprinklers are well marked with yardage distances. Brought along my Golf Logix to calculate yardages, very accurate. The sand bunkers are hard (Recent rains did not soften the texture), like hitting out of compacted DIRT. :( The course has recently marked many areas "ground under repair" which I attribute to the recent heavy rains. I expect this course to be in better condition in the next 2 months!

Played Nov. 27, at 9am. Pace of play was good, 4 1/2 hrs. Greens are in nice shape, best I have seen them in a long time. The fire came right down to the fairways on a number of holes, but overall the course is in very nice shape and it's always fun to play. We will be back.
