Nice course especially considering it rained three inches in the prior 5-6 days. Some rocks in fairway from runoff on a couple holes...winter rules. Greens were surprisingly fast and were also in great shape. Nice workout walking. Wish it was closer for me.

Played here the other day for the first time. I was surprised how tight of the fairways there was on every hole. It’s actually quite a difficult course. You probably want to be a >20 hcp At least to even play here because you’ll find yourself if some tough situations with forests around most holes. Easy to lose balls. Greens were playing fast early in the AM so balls would just keep rolling for days. I’ll have to give it another shot to see if I just had the jitters when I played or if the course is actually that difficult. You really need to know how far you hit each club to manage the long par 4s and 5s. With cart and players card it was still around $70. Views are nice but the course is kind of mid. Walking is possible but it’s a long course.

Drove 2 hrs from los angeles to catch a 10:56am tee time on a Wednesday. Very beautiful course.. started with a bucket to get warmed up then walked up to start the game. Everything was fine the course is great. The big lawnmowers were out and were very noisy and one of the lawnmower ate my ball 😒 gotta be careful if you're slicing balls theres a section where is close to homes and the street and the fence is low. No extra netting. You can break a window or hit someone. I highly recommend this course. Nice view of the city. Great game. Must do

The course and layout are great with some great city views. Some challenging holes, not as forgiving. It seems as if they spent all of their money on the course and haven’t spent a dime in any of the facilities (as a golfer I’m okay with) but I would definitely go back and play.

This was my first time playing this course and it was a great experience. The course was in great condition. The fairways were good, greens were very fast and small, adding to the challenge of this course. The sand was decent. The course was very challenging with a great layout providing lots of elevation change and unique holes. Views of the pacific ocean, San Diego downtown skyline, and Coronado Bridge made for a scenic round of golf. Must play municipal course right in the middle of downtown San Diego.
