The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
San Diego’s only public Dye design, a Perry Dye renovation that puts water on most holes, weaves through mature trees and uses signature railroad ties and pot bunkers. A shot-maker’s course where accuracy beats distance, with conditioning that can be hit or miss.
Consistently praised
- A distinct Dye look in a market that does not have another one.
- Water and trees in play almost everywhere; every hole has its own identity.
Worth knowing
- Conditioning is uneven; tight corridors and forced carries can wear out a wild driver.
Golfers recommend
- Pick a tee that lets you keep driver in the bag on most holes.
- Lean on the short game; Dye greens reward creativity around the edges.
