Steele Canyon Golf Club - Ranch/Vineyard

How often does the starter greet you and make your day better. At Steele canyon this guy was awesome. Even provided a yardage book. Great place to play!

Everything was pretty good except the price/conditions. For a similar price point and better conditions, I'd rather go to one of the sycuan courses. Many of the long time players I ran into lamented the same as the prices are a bit unreasonable. 5 stars if conditions improve or prices come down.

Can't really compliment a course when it takes 5 hours to play. When they suggest combo teas, the scorecard should spell out which tee to play -- particularly on Canyon 9.

Pace of Play:
I played on a Tuesday. Many of the players were locals and some were members. The pace of play was great, though it's worth noting that it seemed that not all tee times/slots were filled.

Course Conditions:
The tee boxes were in decent shape with some unevenness. The fairways were in good shape. The bunkers were well manicured and filled with ample amounts of sand. The sand is soft and fluffy, so make sure to swing with speed on the sand shots. The greens were in excellent shape and were running fast at 11.5 on the Stimpmeter. Some of the greens have multiple tiers, but for the most part, the challenge was reading the subtle breaks within a tier and gaging the speed correctly on such fast greens.

Restaurant:
I ate an early dinner there after the round. The service was welcoming, fast, and accommodating. The food was great and full of value. I recommend the sliders!

Overall Review:
This is a well managed property and I've enjoyed it the three times I've been there. There are three nines on the property and all three are good, but most say the Canyon and the Ranch nines are better than the Vineyard nine. The price is higher than I'd like to pay, but I can't complain as everything is well done at this facility.

Note: I don't know if walking allowed, but I have not seen anyone walk there. It is a hilly property which makes for many elevated teeing grounds with great views.

Course has great value for the nice conditions and the fun layout of it. $80 during the week was solid, and we were allowed to play as a group of 5 and didn’t have any problems for pace. Only a 30 min drive from SD and well worth the trip. True canyon course with lots of elevation changes and FAST greens

Not worth the drive from San Diego nor the cost to play. Alright course with nice views.

Target golf on some holes. I enjoyed every second playing here.

Love the course but, pace of play was five hours. Very slow, the course was a little dry on the fairways but the green were green and round out nicely.
