(cart included), played on Wednesday, February 2011 at noon
Encinitas Ranch is a good course. There are challenging holes, a few unusual ones and nice views of the ocean and mountains. The course conditioning varies from month to month - too often there are patches of dirt near the fairways, sometimes on the fairways. When the greens are healthy and mowed, they are good. Too often they are sandy and slow. It is a JC Golf managed course so its a good bargin for JC members. The pro shop and on course staff are friendly. Pace of play can bog down on Friday and weekends.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
