Besides the well do c&me nted quirky design and lay out of the back nine, the greens were terrible. I have never seen so many un-repaired ball marks. The speed of the greens was also very slow, which may be a requirement due to the severe slopes of some of the greens. The fairways were good with the exception of a few areas that contained lots of divots that were not filled. If you don't mind the quirky design and the poor greens you will probably love the course.

Played July 5, a real treat as usual, nice to see a marshall on 15 tee, to help speed up play; greens in best shape ever, the only negative is trying to tee a ball on the range synthetic service is a challenge, otherwise, play this course if in the area, will not be disappointed...keep up the good work...

I played last Sunday for the first time and I don't know why I waited for so long. I work right around the corner so I will definitely be back soon. I really enjoyed the layout of the course, the staff was exceptional, many beautiful holes, and some amazing views! The clubhouse is nice and the restaurant is very good. I felt that the staff really worked hard to provide its guests a first rate golf experience. This course could be a top tier course if they improved on its upkeep. Some of the course is immaculate while some holes are in terrible condition. Another major downside are the power lines and the frequent planes flying by. Nevertheless, I'd recommend playing the course.

Played with Dconnally on Thursday afternoon and the course is in as good a shape as I have seen it in the 3+ years it has been open. The fairways and greens are great and the sand is in great shape as well. I read a review about this course that said that you could not see the ocean-That big blue thing to the west on holes 1 3 4 5 6 8 9 is the ocean. It plays in a valley the back nine, so the only ocean view is on 18, but it is there. Get out and play this course while you can.

Played with GKer zachary on Thursday afternoon, 5/19/11, on a breezy sunny day. This is one of his favorites and my 2nd time here - course conditions were very good with receptive, medium fast greens, good lies in fairways, sticky rough around greens, good sand in bunkers. Course is very visually appealing, with lots of elevation change, holes framed by wetlands and coastal sage. Only problem was overall slow pace throughout the day, resulting in a 5-hr round. Saw cart girl frequently, water generally available. Very good food at the clubhouse, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Played 4/25, course is in as good of shape as I have ever seen it; a real pleasure to play, pace of play was very good, can't wait to come back, Thank you for a great golf experience...

Played here Sunday at 9am 3/13 for the first time on my bday with my bro. Drove about an hour and 1/2. Not a sight of the ocean from the course. They sanded half of the greens on almost all of them good thing the pin placement is on the good side. Bunkers are all good. Fairways are ok, Roughs are good too, tee boxes are ok. I really enjoyed the course coz i played good overall. Nothing really special here. It kinda remind me of Dos Lagos on some holes. Not worth the $110 that they charge on non residents.

Played here for the first time. Just NOTE, this course was recently aerated so my scores may not reflect what this course could be at its best. It is a nice course and I will try to be as impartial ... Continue »

Played here for the first time. Just NOTE, this course was recently aerated so my scores may not reflect what this course could be at its best. It is a nice course and I will try to be as impartial but as noted we did play on aerated greens (albeit half aerated greens they were still aerated.)

Best way to describe this course -- A tale of two nines.

Front 9 from the get go this course SCREAMS "INTIMIDATION" with a forced carry. Be sure to knock the ball downhill and to the left or find yourself off the reservation. The contours of the front 9 remind me of upside down bowls where shots roll off to the side instead of the center. Fairways on this side are dormant and dried out looking. Your lies will be thin. Sand in bunkers is well stocked in the fairway AND around the greens. The greens if you land on the right side (the un-aerated side) will be rewarded with a smooth roll. If the greens currently will be any indication of the greens when they completely heal then my best guess is to say wait you won't be disappointed. You will play a lot of downhill and uphill shots so bring more club to bear as necessary. You will also have to play with wind in the afternoon.

Back 9 is another beast altogether. The back 9 face North and is shaded. For some reason it's greener here. As a local called this place, "Welcome to Legoland." I didn't quite understand until some of the most diabolical severe tiered greens I have ever seen. Back 9 is a heck of a lot different from the front. Where the front sides on top of the foothills, the back is carved into the foothills. To that end the course is more favorable to errant shots where the ball tends to roll towards the center of the fairway. Beware though loads of trouble left or right. Sand here is also well stocked. Climes are cooler so bring a jacket in the afternoon. Gotta say I had more fun on the back even with the difficulty. Greens as mentioned are mega tiered. Expect severe tiers with breaks that border on the insane. I have photos that should give you a better idea. I will upload them later today.

Overall I did enjoy myself. As mentioned its two very different nines -- just by look and feel alone. Course knowledge is helpful. Great scenery. Great San Diego weather.
