Played here Friday. Terrific conditions. You can tell they are putting in extra time to get the course in shape for the junior tournament next week. Rough is thick and punishing around the greens, but more forgiving lining the fairways. Greens were rolling true. Only blemish on the course would be some bare spots on the fairways, but these areas aren't really in play unless you are hitting your drive ~100 yards. The rest of the fairway is immaculate. Great deal at resident rate, but still worth the fee as a visitor.

Played today, 6/19. Great service. Long story short, everything was in great shape. Greens were hard, but well struck shots still held as expected. It's summer, so the course is looking a little brown, but grass isn't brittle and fairways played great. Still my favorite San Diego course.

Played today 6/9. Bunkers were good. Pace was ok. Service was good. Course is still in need of care. Practice green was much quicker than the actual greens. Fairways and greens had lots of bare spots. Course was dry everywhere. I love the layout, but it's not worth the greens fee in this condition.

Played Friday 6/8, on Mission and Friars. Course was in normal good shape. Busy, but no long waits. Greens were hard but slow. Weird combination. Tee boxes were a little uneven on a lot of holes. Course could also add a little sand to some of the bunkers. But overall a fun round. Lush fairways and rough. Good pace of play. Greens rolled true.

Riverwalk Golf Course Review
San Diego California Golf Course Reviews

Played here Sunday morning. Terrific layout. Not too challenging, but allows for all kinds of different shots and strategies. Very walkable. The course isn't going to wow you with waterfalls and crazy terrain changes, but there is just something about the course that will bring me back.

Only negative was the marshall. Rushed our foursome a few times even though we always had at least a full hole between us and the group behind us and we finished in about 4.5 hours. They had a kids tournament later in the afternoon which I think they were nervous about starting on time. I ignored him, but it really angered one guy in our group. Only a small negative, I'll still be back.

Rustic Canyon Golf Course Review

The good: Conditions of the grass seemed great to me (although the gentlemen paired with my friend and I said the course is normally in better shape). Fairway, rough, tee box, greens...it all looked and played great. Layout is fun and unique. Service was great and friendly. This is a course with a photo opp on just about every hole. Most beautiful course I've ever played.

The bad: It was a near 6 hour round. At some point the group slowing play down that much needs to be booted off the course. I knew going in to the round the bunkers would be inconsistent, but it was still a disappointment going from a fluffy bunker to an extremely hard one on the next hole. Driving range is irons only.

One last thing. I stayed in Vegas and the drive out to the course is almost an hour and a half (despite the high speed limits, thanks Nevada). 1.5 hours each way, plus 1 hour warm up, plus 6 hour round = the longest golf day of my life. Know what you are getting yourself into, before you book your round.

I am very happy I played this course despite the time it took. Will I play it again? Probably not. I will, however, remember the unique and amazing layout...and if I forget, I have about 2 dozen photos to remind me.

Wolf Creek Golf Club Course Review
Mesquite Nevada Golf Course Reviews

Played there Friday. Compared to other courses in the area, it's a fairly good deal. Course didn't have too much traffic. Great warmup areas. Greens and fairways were good. The fringe around some of the greens though were bare and in need of some maintenance. The bunkers are tough to rate. There were rocks in all of them (I was in 6 that day) but they were consistent and all played very fair. Easy to score well here if you can keep in from OB. I wouldn't say the course was very memorable, but it was decent enough and fits the bill if you want to play somewhere above a muni, but not pay too much near Vegas.

Played Friday morning. Course is in great shape. Very lush. One of the few courses I play in San Diego that has penalizing rough. Long course with fast greens which will challenge anyone. Greens could have been a little smoother, but maybe that was partly due to the type of grass here. If you can qualify as a resident, you need to play this course. Greens fee is extremely worth it. As a visitor, the rate is pretty high, but still worth at least one round.

Torry Pines Golf Course Review
San Diego California Golf Course Reviews

Played here today. Not that enjoyable. First course conditions: Range signs ask you not to hit anything over 200 yards. Some greens were a little beat up. There was really no rough. Fairways were not consistent and covered in clovers and different types of grass. I was only in 1 bunker; it had it's fair share of rocks, but wasn't packed.

Now the real problem. It was very busy and there were long delays on every hole. There were 3 fivesomes just a few groups ahead of us causing the slow play. When there are this many people on the course, fivesomes shouldn't be allowed. My round took around 5 and 1/2 hours and made for an entirely too long of day, especially on a mediocre course.

Played a quick 18 today. Course drained great despite rain received over night and the past few days. Fairways has some small weeds growing in some places but they didn't effect play and it appeared a group of groundskeepers were pulling them to get them into shape for the Spring. Greens were smooth and still fast considering the amount of water on them. Course was in better shape today than most courses here during prime season. Still my favorite course in San Diego and a great deal.

Barona Creek Golf Course Review

Played 11/16. Course in good condition. I think they are reseeding the fairways so it was cart path only on every hole which slows down pace of play, but still finished in about 4 hours. Bunkers were perfect...it appears they have brand new sand. A few areas under repair, but didn't effect play for my group. I enjoy playing here, but the prices aren't appealing. Very happy to play for free with a voucher I had. Not a course I would seek out on a trip to San Diego, but a good course to mix in for a local resident.

Sycuan Golf Resort Course Review
El Cajon California Golf Course Reviews

The Good: pretty empty course today allowing for quick play if desired. Unique course with lots of elevation changes.

The Bad: very dry course. Some uneven tee boxes. Bare spots on greens and fairways. One fairway was punched and they had some kind of machine going over the punches to pick them up which put tons of dust in the air making the hole unenjoyable.

The Very Bad: a member of the grounds crew picked up and took one of my balls from the grass just of the fairway. When I alerted the GM of the course he didn't believe me and then decided it was a good idea to argue with me. I made my point and left.

There are better courses in San Diego at cheaper rates. When you throw in the poor customer service, I won't ever play here again.
