Great play

Course is in really great shape! Fairways look great and greens are super fast/firm. The only issue I had was that I decided to play a round when it was 97 degrees outside. Wish this course was a little closer to where I live so I could play it a bit more often!

Pace of play

The course is in great shape and is really nice. There was no ranger, the pace of play was insanely slow, 6 hours to play 18 holes of golf on a Monday makes 0 sense. This course needs a ranger to speed up pace of play badly. How can you expect people to come back if it takes 6 hours to play 18 holes.

6 HOURS for a round?!?!

The range was not available as well as the putting/chipping green. Would have been nice to have been notified considering we showed up an hour early. The pace of play was absolutely horrible, I think we made it to the 2nd hole and every other tee box after was a waiting game! That is the longest it’s ever taken me to play a round of golf. What was even worse was no Course Marshall to speed up pace of play. The course and layout itself was amazing, it’s a great course that is well kept and maintained. Almost like finding a hidden gem with how many unkept course there are in SD County. Don’t come here if you enjoy ready golf!

Fun lay out, decent shape.

Very fun course lay out. Challenging greens (just coming back from aeration), can see the challenge with more speed. For a course set in a neighborhood one does not really get affected by the houses, all the views are of a golf holes.
