Played this course as part of a tournament - shotgun start and shamble format. Recent rains and getting this course ready for the pros in a few weeks resulted in very heavy 5" tall wet rough. This, along with cart path only, and a tournament resulted in a 5.5 hour round! Probably under normal play, expect 4.5-5 hour rounds.
The course is about one year past a redo by Tom Weiskoph and was in super shape. The greens were perfect but did bounce and release a bit as is common with new greens. The layout is easier than the south course as it is much shorter in length. The redo has resulted in a much more uniform course with grass everywhere and perfect greens. While the south course is more famous, most golfers will get much less beat up by playing the north. And, the views of the ocean and La Jolla can't be beat. A really fun and fair layout. I would play it more often but I live in San Diego county and not in San Diego City so I have to pay the normal high tourist rates - bummer!
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Expensive and worth it
