The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A traditional 1967 Bell and Robinson design that reviewers describe as a wonderfully old-school San Diego layout rolling through trees, neighborhoods and mild hills. It is shortish on the card but plays harder than the yardage, with conditioning and greens regularly singled out.
Consistently praised
- A traditional tree-lined routing with interesting topography for the inland setting.
- Greens and overall conditioning called out as a strength.
Worth knowing
- Yardage is modest, so big hitters should not expect a power test; the challenge is angles and greens.
Golfers recommend
- Play the appropriate tees; the slope is higher than the length suggests.
- Take time around the greens; the contouring is where strokes get lost.
