If you're not a resident of the Encinitas area, don't bother playing this course. At $98, it's obscenely overpriced. If you're a resident, 55-$60 is not a stellar deal either. It's unfortunate, because the course really has potential to be a good track. It has sweeping views of the ocean and hills to the east, the greens for the most part are in decent shape, and the layout is somewhat challenging. Any homes around are far enough off the course that they really are not a concern. But the fairways and rough overall are in poor condition and the tee boxes are not much better. Overall, this course was a big disappointment and simply not worth the obscene price.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Worse than average course for the area
