I had the pleasure of playing this just opened course today and enjoyed the experience. Can't beat the $40.00 weekend twilight price after 1 p.m. Don't expect a lot of bells and whistles [the pro shop is a small trailer] but you get a very large bucket of balls for five bucks and a nice range with grass tees, the putting green isn't open yet but should be shortly. I played the blues which go 6115 with a slope of 126. the front nine is pretty open with native grasses bordering most of the holes. there is a bit of wind in the afternoons but not more than 1club more or less. Water comes into play on several holes some of which you don't see until after you've hit and are approaching your ball.
the sand in the bunkers is very deep and fluffy, the rough short, with greens that hold shots, are medium fast and roll very smooth and true. the course changes on the back as you wind through oak lined fairways that put a premium on accuracy over distance. I'm glad to see a nice course with good rates open just up the hill from Escondido.
