02What golfers say

The word on the course.

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

A Gary Player 27-hole design in the Jamul hills with dramatic elevation, big views and very few flat lies. The Ranch/Vineyard combo is the more varied loop, with vineyards, streams and a working ranch as the backdrop, and the elevated tee on Ranch 3 (roughly 175 feet above the fairway) is the hole everyone talks about.

Best forScenery

Consistently praised

  • Dramatic elevation changes and Jamul valley views.
  • The signature Ranch 3 plunging tee shot, plus variety across vineyards, streams and ranch land.

Worth knowing

  • Universally called demanding; this is a 27-hole facility and the Ranch/Vineyard rotation is one of three possible combos.

Golfers recommend

  • Play one more club than the elevation suggests on Ranch 3 to account for the wind.
  • Take a cart; the property is not a comfortable walk.
