Played on Saturday 6/29/2013. Course is in fair to good condition. The fairways could use more watering as there are many browning and thin areas with multiple types of grass noted. Generally, however, there was good grass under the ball for most shots. Think of a championship caliber course that would need a few weeks to bring up to tournament condition. Greens were in good condition with few bumps and putts holding the line quite well. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable. There are three 9 hole layouts. I played the Vista/Oceano combo. The Oceano 9 has 4 holes right along the ocean - big slices are lost to Poseidon. Finished in just over 3 hours as we only saw two other groups on the course the whole round. The rate is $94 which seems high – would explain the lack of golfers on the courses. I would very much recommend playing Bajamar as the total ambiance is wonderful and the course is fun and a good test of golf.

Played Real Del Mar on 6/15/2013. Course is in horrible condition. Grass coverage is, approximately, 60%. Nearly every green appears to have been sodded in the prior few months. The sod squares are clearly visible with their borders affecting every putt. The sod is browning in many areas on each green due to lack of watering. The various water hazards around the course have the appearance and smell of open sewage paths and cesspools. The cart was a death trap with most braking provided by the brake pedal linkage grinding on the cart path or fairway dirt. Played this course about 12 years ago and it was great. Now, I would not recommend the course to any players and will not be returning. Cost was $39 plus $10 for rider – tee’d off at 2pm.
