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.
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.
