02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

A 1927 William P. Bell course on the bluffs above La Jolla Cove, later touched by Rees Jones and Todd Eckenrode, with kikuyu fairways, small fast greens and ocean views that get compared favorably to Torrey Pines. Reviewers love the sense of place; critics call it structurally uneven, with weaker finishing holes and an apartment-building eyesore near 18.

Best forScenery

Consistently praised

Panoramic Pacific views and a true sense of place near La Jolla Cove.
Small, quick kikuyu greens that reward a precise short game.

Worth knowing

A few weak holes and an off-property building near 18 draw steady complaints.

Golfers recommend

Uneven kikuyu lies are part of the test; practice tight-lie wedges.
Slope is stout for the yardage; pick a tee that fits your handicap.
