The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A polished Tom Fazio resort course routed through Los Peñasquitos Canyon, with big greens, generous landing areas and a clubhouse and practice complex that feel genuinely luxurious. Tough but fair, with forecaddie service and conditioning praised, though the experience is gated to Fairmont Grand Del Mar guests.
Consistently praised
- Classic Fazio shaping, big receptive greens and dramatic canyon scenery.
- Forecaddies, practice acreage and clubhouse polish that match a true resort experience.
Worth knowing
- A few players feel it lacks a true signature wow hole for the price point.
Golfers recommend
- Use the forecaddie for lines; several tee shots hide their landing areas.
- Take an extra club into elevated greens and trust the gathering contours.
