About
Located north of San Diego in Carlsbad, Omni La Costa Resort & Spa is a legendary golf and wellness getaway in southern California. The resort, which opened in the 1950s, has hosted 37 elite PGA Tour events. The Champions Course features a serene setting that meanders through peaceful wetlands over landscaped bridges and rolling hills. The course underwent a significant renovation in 2011 by Steve Pate, Damian Pascuzzo and Jeff Brauer, which included four brand new holes and improved irrigation and soil for improved course conditions year-round.

CARLSBAD LEGEND
This was my second round at Omni Legends in 2021 and each presented a different experience. In my first attempt, I was paired with another friendly single who was also playing for the first time. We played the combo tees and enjoyed our morning round without too much trouble or too many highlights. For this September round, I booked a full foursome of friends and we had a great day at Omni. My round got off to a brutal triple-triple start but settled down from there. The course starts with a variety of par 4s and tests your approach game right from the start. All of the par 5s are uniquely scoreable and the finisher on each 9 helps add some excitement to the round if there is any money on the line. Omni Legends may be my favorite course in the Carlsbad area; much more fair and straightforward than Crossings or Encinitas Ranch. Legends will reward you if you are striking the ball well, but will penalize you if you are struggling to keep it straight off the tee.

Excellent Condition
We played the Champions course on Tuesday and the course conditions were fantastic. The only area that was below standard was the bunkers. While raked, they were still rock hard under a thin veneer of sand) and nearly impossible to escape cleanly.
I highly recommend the course at this time. (Just stay out of the bunkers!)
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Omni La Costa Resort & Spa - Champions Course.
Needs some Attention
Course layout is nice. But the condition of the course is poor. It looks under watered. The fairways and rough are very patchy, The greens are inconsistent - one is fast, the next slow, and also, they are very rough, with lots of sandy spots, etc. they just looked in really poor condition. I won’t be back here.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Omni La Costa Resort & Spa - Champions Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Great course!
Played this course several times and always like the layout and practice facility offered. The course overall is in good shape. The bunkers can be better. Can't wait to see the outcome of the renovation planned for later this year.

Legends
Poor fairway, rough and tee box conditions. Greens slow and also in poor condition .
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve.

Thank you for playing Omni La Costa Resort & Spa - Champions Course. We hope to see you again soon.
Great resort
La costs is a primo resort. Great place to have lunch and relax before round. Played champions course which was in at best acceptable condition. Course is set in. canyon therefore all holes pretty flat. Nothing memorable. Except last par threes which you hit from in front of resort. Good to play if can’t get on Torrey.

Poor Value, Poor Conditions
The Omni resort is a wonderful property but this course is not up to the same standard. The greens were lost to some type of fungus (perhaps) and had dirt patches and dead spots throughout, and were also extremely slow and bumpy. Fairways and rough had dry, dead patches all over as well. Snackbar, water, ice at the turn, but no other water until you get there. The course itself is a nice, fairly challenging layout and the staff is friendly. For $165/185 per round, however, I cannot recommend a course in such poor playing conditions.

Horrendous course conditions.
Greens were horrendous, as well as a lot of burned grass. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

Above average course
Staying at the resort, so I wanted to play both courses. Today was the Champion course. The course looked about dry from the clubhouse (brown portions of fairway). As I played, the fairways were pristine. I had to touch the first fairway to make sure it was real! The bunkers were deeper than any I have ever played and the sand was a bit hard. The layout was not overly challenging and it provides many scoring opportunities. Not as many elevation changes as I would like. I really liked the 4-seater gold cart that allowed my kids and grandma ride along for the views. I think it was in the top 5 courses that I have played, which is only around 15-20 courses. I will play the Legends course in 2 days.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Omni La Costa Resort & Spa - Champions Course.
