I've played this course many times and always come back a few times a year. Front 9 is much easier to score on with #6 being the toughest,a long 596 yd par 5 into the prevailing wind. Holes 10,11 and 12 are 3 of the toughest back to back to back holes in San Diego County. From the blue tees #10 plays 444 yd par 4 downhill (OB left-trees right)with a green that slopes away from front to back. 11 is a tight, uphill 469 yd par 5 (trees on both sides) with a shallow, well bunkered green. 12 is a 491 yd downhill par 5 (OB right-trees left)hole with another green that slope away from the player. The rest of the course is interesting but unremarkable with a good mix of short and long par 3s and 4s. Nice
backcountry surroundings with some housing on some holes. Good value.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
