Played yesterday, Monday, Oct 14, Columbus Day. 12:40 start time. Busy at check in, but went smooth. Guy at the cash register was trying his best to give us a discount asking if we were over 60yrs old, or veterans, we politely said we don't qualify for any of those, so $60 with cart was the rate (not bad for a holiday in my opinion). We teed off right on schedule. Great POP of 4.25hrs, as well.

Course is always a blast to play. It's in fairly good overall condition and will only improve over the next few weeks.

Teeboxes were level, but very fluffy. They weren't mown for several days it appears. Not a big deal.

Fairways were good to very good. Decent roll out, nice lies all day.

Rough was up a couple of inches and could definitely affect your lie. Take an extra club and grip it and rip it.

Bunkers were pretty hard pan underneath and fairly damp. Try and avoid them at all cost right now. You can get the ball out of them, but the margin for error is high. Got to hit it perfectly from the bunker to have any action on the green.

Greens were punched a couple of weeks ago and they were very bumpy and a lot more shaggy than normal. About the only weak spot on the course. In a couple of weeks, I bet they will be great. They held shots very well, but putting was a challenge, I had 39putts and missed about 6 putts inside 10feet for birdie. Frustrating to say the least.

Customer service was great all around, saw the beverage cart a couple of times and everyone in the pro shop and grill area were great.

Highly recommend. Especially when the greens heal and they mow the tees.

Played yesterday, Sat, Oct 5. Called proshop around 9am and they said come out and put my name on the waitlist so I got there around 10am and got out about 10:30. $55 to walk. POP was just shy of 5hrs, seems like it's always busy at this course and people just don't seem to play very fast out there. No marshall, no beverage cart, but snack bar is conveniently located by four different teeboxes.

Conditions overall aren't very good.

Blue tees were about the only decent part of the course. They were level and had plenty of space to find a nice spot to tee it up.

Fairways were poor to very poor. Lots of dirt, standing water at times, chewed up areas and nothing is marked GUR, so I played it down but my suggestion would be to play these areas as GUR and don't punish yourselves.

Not much rough to speak of at this course, just dirt in the trees for the most part. I only missed two fairways, both times ended up right at the base of a tree and had to punch out.

Greens were very bumpy, looked like they punched them a few weeks ago. No sign of sand and they held shots very well, but very difficult to putt with all the bumpiness. Fairly frustrating.

Didn't find any bunkers, so can't comment on them but they looked "ok".

Customer service was all good

Tough to recommend right now due to poor fairways and greens. It's only saving grace is it's a fun layout, walkable and affordable. Got paired up with three awesome guys and we had a blast anyway. One of the guys (Brady) was a stick!! Fun to watch him play, I had him shooting even par and I tried to keep up with my 79. He also walked, so we had a lot of good conversation. Brady's teacher Bryan Gorman is a pro there and actually came out to say hello and followed us on holes 8&9, that was kinda cool.

Played on Friday, Aug 23 on a beautiful day, 11am teetime. My friend who lives in Carlsbad and is a JC member got us an excellent rate of $69 to ride. Well worth it, albeit I just think this course has some funky holes, as we played the white tees and there are many layup tee shots and most of the par5s are forced layups for your second shots, as well. Not my favorite track, but a great day nonetheless. Course is in good to very good condition all around. Fairways were great, good cushion with decent roll out. Greens were nice, smooth putts, held shots very well. Found one bunker and it was just fine, soft sand, no complaints. Rough wasn't too penal only about an inch to two inches tall, but made you think. No problem with the white tee boxes, some were a little small and unlevel, but just took a few extra seconds to find a good spot without much problem. Customer service was excellent, very friendly from check in through finish, beverage cart came by twice and there's an easy snack bar at the turn. POP wasn't an issue, 4.5hrs on a Friday was just fine. I do recommend, but wouldn't want to play here all the time.

Played yesterday, Sunday, Aug 11. Surprisingly got a teetime fairly easily on their website when I looked it up on Aug 4th and there were quite a few teetimes remaining. $49 to walk the blue tees is a good value for weekend. Course busy as usual, but POP was right under 4.5hrs, not bad.

This course is just a blast to play. These greens are unlike any other, crazy small in most all circumstances. It's the course's only defense as the short yardage won't scare anyone. The greens were in very good to great shape. They held shots very well and putted smooth at a consistent medium fast pace. Some downhillers and side hillers can't get by you really easily.

Bunkers were just fine, nice soft sand, but found a footprint one time because people don't like to rake these for some reason.

Rough was pretty darn brutal! Stay out of it if you can, very thick bermuda and grabs your club every time. Grip the club firmly and aim to the right is what I finally learned on my third attempt.

Fairways were in great shape for the most part. Couple of areas that needed repair, but in all the proper landing areas I never had a problem. They offered good cushion and average rollout.

Teeboxes were good for the most part except for the par 3's, they were pretty beat up and longer than normal with occasional uneven lies, but they had the markers completely spread out across the entire tee box, so that was kind of fun as you had about 15-20 yards of area on some of them to tee it up.

Customer service was just fine, saw the beverage cart a couple times and the proshop window was just fine.

Highly recommend right now, especially if you've never played it. Get on out there.

Snuck out of work yesterday, Monday, 7/29, wide open tee sheet. $69 for SD county resident with a cart. Tee off time was 11:11am. Good value this day and age.

POP was not a factor. I played as a single and didn't see one person/group in front of me all day. Let a single play through on 14 because I was playing three balls, still finished in 3hrs. I played one ball down as my main score and then the other two balls I played as a scramble. Had a blast!! shot 85 with the one ball and 74 with the scramble. If you have an opportunity to do this and you don't care about posting a score, I highly recommend.

Course conditions were good for the most part. I played the black tees and they were all in great shape. Level and perfect coverage, even on the par3's which are all excellent holes.

Fairways were in OK shape. Lots of GUR on the front nine. Definitley better on the back nine. They are doing a lot of work on the fairways and trying to bring them back to their luster. I'm short off the tee but need to play the blacks based on my 8index, so perhaps I wasn't in the proper "landing zone" some of the time. Definitely not the highlight, but they were playable. I bet in a month or so after they're doing all the maintenance, they will be awesome.

Traps were pretty poor, definitely the lowlight. Hard pan underneath about half inch of soft stuff. Very challenging.

Rough: avoid at all costs!! It's Torrey brutal in most places right now. Very difficult to even find your ball let alone play through it. I don't remember being like this in the past, hopefully they mow it within the next few days.

Greens were great. Advertised at 10.5 on the stimp on the sign at the proshop. They were smooth and held shots very well, almost too well! Backed up a number of short irons and wedges and made large ball marks. Everyone seemed to be doing a good job repairing their marks, I didn't notice too many unfixed marks and I was very diligent about repairing all of mine as often times I made three ball marks.

Customer service was great. Marco in the proshop was very cordial. Guys outside at the cart staging were also great. Saw beverage cart a few times but didn't need anything, brought my own water as it was a warm one out there.

Overall I would recommend the course, great layout. Maybe give it a few more weeks for the fairways to get in better shape, but if you can find a wide open day like I did yesterday, get on out there, it was a blast.

I mirror Mark's review of yesterday's fun round!! He's spot on with just about everything except I would include the bunkers that I found were hard clay about an inch under the soft sand. Furthermore, I was in a couple diabolically deep bunkers which made it impossible to get the ball up in the air quickly, ruining any chance for an up and down. Oh well, just this minor complaint. Otherwise, the course is killer!! Thanks Johnny for organizing another great day. Always great to see you.

Played Sunday, June 9. 6:40am. POP right at 4hrs15mins. Moved right along for the most part, waited on a few shots, but good pace overall.

$110 to ride, which is about the norm these days for a weekend. Not worth it right now in my opinion. We played Creek/Stonehouse. They're coming off a recent aeration, so I will try and be a little nicer on the harsh conditions.

We played the middle tees ("Autumn", I guess they call them) and they were not in good shape, at all. Unlevel with lots of divot damage and bare spots. Just about every tee took some extra time to evaluate where you could find a level lie with good coverage.

Greens were in ok shape. Definitely showed some signs of aeration and were pretty bumpy and on the slow side. They held shots well, but that's about the only good thing about them. Perhaps they will improve in a few more weeks.

Bunkers were in ok shape fairly good sand, but a bunch were unraked. Not sure if it was the speed golfers that went out first thing? (they were hilarious to watch sprint around with their minimal golf clubs in hand)

Fairways were about the highlight of the course. They were in pretty good shape and provided some decent roll out with good cushion. No complaints here.

Customer service was all good. Starter was on point and saw the beverage cart a couple times.

It's probably my least favorite course in the area, but it's still fun. Decent food in the restaurant afterwards. I semi-recommend, but would wait a few more weeks.

Walked on yesterday, Memorial Day, around 12:40pm and got right out at 1:10pm. I seem to have good luck on holidays and Sundays walking out and getting off the first tee fairly quickly. Played with 3 high school kids on the Coronado golf team. Good bunch of young men.

Everything is in good shape right now. No complaints on any aspect of the course. Greens held shots well and were a good speed with no bumpiness. Teeboxes were fairly level with minimal divot damage, no problems finding a spot for the peg. Fairways were excellent. Provided some decent roll and nice cushion. I didn't have a bad lie all day. Rough seemed to be up more than usual. Had a couple of thick lies in some spots. I didn't find any bunkers, so can't comment on those, but they looked ok from what I could tell. Service was just fine all around. Bev. cart was out and about. POP was right at 5hrs. which is fairly common. Lots of waiting as usual. $59 non-resident rate to walk is getting a little steep, but it's still worth it. Always recommend.

Played Wednesday, May 8, twilight, 4:30pm, $40 to walk. Front nine took over 2.5hrs and then the back nine was really quick. I left after hole 11, but one member of our group kept going and he finished in the dark.

I could not recommend this course right now. Something is going on with the overseed? or the bermuda vs. rye situation? or??? I'm not a horticulturist by any means, but things just seem a bit off with the fairways, greens and fringes.

The greens were bumpy and didn't hold a shot very well. Very hard and lots of small unrepaired ball marks.

Rough wasn't very penal, easy to get a club on the ball. It was only about an inch or so longer than the fairways.

Fairways had some white "bloom" going on and a mixture of grasses. Quite a bit of thin areas and they're using green dye/spray to make it look presentable.

The fringes were super wierd. Veriable patches of different grasses and bare spots. Once again painted/dyed green for appearance.

Bunkers were a mixed bag, some hardpan and wet while others were in ok shape with fluffier sand.

We played the green tees (alternating mix of white and blue tees) and they were fine, not a big problem.

Saw the beverage cart once, but didn't partake, I brought my own bottle of water.

Practice putting green was aerated and sanded, the little fake grass putting green is a joke, no help with real practice, so that was kind of a bummer.

I forgot my Golfbuddy voice GPS which was a huge mistake when you're walking. There is no yardage signs anywhere in the fairways. No sprinklers are marked whatsoever, no yardage discs whatsoever. Carts have GPS, so if you're walking make sure you bring some GPS device or a laser range finder.

I just can't recommend this course right now, especially for any rack rate. Even the $40 twilight rate was tough to swallow. Hope they get some maintenance done on the course soon.

Snuck out to Nado yesterday as a single, Sunday, April 21. Called the starter around 2:30 and he said come on out and I got right out when I arrived at 3:15. Got paired up with three really nice guys, as usual. $36 to walk twilight rate, non-resident. $30 resident rate.

Blue Tees were all pretty nice, no complaints. Fairly level and not too much divot damage.

Fairways were in great shape. Never had a bad lie all day and they provided good cushion with proper roll out on drives.

Rough wasn't very long, but it was "patchy", some low bare/thin areas next to some higher clumps of grass that could cause some issues.

Traps were in good shape, found one greenside bunker and it had nice fluffy sand. Found one fairway bunker and it was just fine. No problems.

Greens were about as slow as I've ever seen them. They're still recovering from aeration a couple weeks ago, so they were slow and bumpy. They did hold shots well, but putting was difficult.

POP wasn't too bad, finished 18 just in time before darkness set in. Total POP was 4.5hrs, which is acceptable at this course. (often times it can go 5 - 5.5 hrs). Customer service is always good. The starters are always great. Didn't see the beverage cart for some reason, but not a big deal, didn't need anything. Always recommend.

It's been about a decade since I played the small course here. We played yesterday, Sunday, at 10:48am. POP was right at 2hrs even though we waited on just about every teebox, this place gets a lot of play. Everything right now is in good to very good condition. Teeboxes as suspected are a little beat up, but they're fairly level except number 5, and all have pretty good coverage.

Fairways are in great shape, a pleasure to hit from.

Found one bunker and it was just fine, no complaints.

Greens were good to very good. Definitely quick, beware. Stay below the hole. Lots of lip outs today, too.

Customer service just fine, no complaints. $22.50 to walk, resident rate, is just fine. Definitely recommend and really should get out here more often.

Played Sunday, 3/10, teetime 7:20am. Walking, I think it was $60, POP was 4hrs. CPO on the front nine, the place is a soaked disaster, especially to walk with my pull cart. Super muddy betweent tees and fairways. Stupid drainage ditch that cuts off just about every fairway on the front nine and it plays as a lateral hazard. I hadn't been here in about 15yrs and found the ditch 3 times with perfectly struck shots, I just didn't know the yardages properly. Oh well, it'll probably be another 15yrs before I return.

Teeboxes were ok, no complaints, we played from the whites. They were level with decent coverage. Fairways were in ok shape, super wet and patchy. Guys I were playing with were playing lift clean and place, for good reason. Bunkers were soft for about one inch of sand and then hard pan, oh well, to be expected with all this rain we've had. Avoid these bunkers. Rough was thick and juicy, lots of clover and weeds, you had to be right on top of your ball to find it. Greens were about the only saving grace of the course. They were in good shape and held shots very well. No beverage cart and no frills clubhouse. The back nine is super fun, wish the front wasn't so quirky. I wouldn't fully recommend at this time, maybe give it a few weeks to dry out. I didn't think the $60 walking rate was worth it, either.
