The course opened on 8/11 (delayed due to plane crash on 3rd hole). I played on 8/16. I was really looking forward to playing this course due to the website and emails (mistake I know I know) and I was disappointed. The weekday rate for a non-resident is $100 and totally not worth it. Fortunately I played with a senior and she got us both on for $59 (shhhh). Our tee time was 9 and they got us out on time although we started on 10 and I don't know why. Anyway, the round was just over 4 hours, we never had to wait on the group in front and we left the group behind us in the dust after 3 holes. But 5 of the holes on the front 9 are played with planes taking off every minute or so. And I mean right over your head! The end of the runway is right next to the course so you deal with the noise, shadows of the planes and also the noise from Palomar Airport Road traffic. The course is not that spectacular, but it is fun to play. I played the very forward tees because I was playing with a Senior and 2 beginners, and because it was my first time on that course. This enabled me to use my irons alot more and I hit 9 greens in reg. The greens are weird, although they roll true, when you expect them to be fast the are not and when you expect them to be slow they are not. So they are not consistant, hence I had 4 3 putts which is very unusual for me. The front greens feel like you are walking on foam rubber, and they are hard to fix ball marks. Although I played very well here and scored a little better than my handicap of 16,(I shot an 83) I won't go back unless they really reduce the rates. It is just not worth the $. My husband played Friday at 2:57, still had to pay $95 and their group finished in the dark. Well next we are going to try Dos Lagos, at least the price is better.
