POP: N/A – Charity Tournament
Weather: Cool/Rainy – mid 60s
Time: 11:30am

Service and Amenities:

Staff here was very friendly and free valet was very nice. The resort is rather large and being it was my first time here, it was a little overwhelming trying to find everything. This could be a bit skewed because there were a ton of events (excluding the one I was playing in) going on while I was there.

Greens:

The greens were decently quick and definitely receptive. I was getting large amounts of spin on wedge shots so I had to change up the swing to reduce the rollback. Overall, greens rolled fairly true with some bumps. No dead spots observed.

Fairways:

The fairways were very firm and decently maintained. No bare spots observed. Nothing tricky on these fairways and you could pretty much see everything that the hole had to offer. We played the tournament from the white tees so there a lot of tee shots were taken with less than a driver, however if playing from the proper tee boxes I think the hazards would have provided more of a challenge.

Bunkers:

Bunkers were well maintained and very course grained sand. They were uniform all throughout the course.

Tee Boxes:

Flat and lush with some bare spots. Very Level and decently maintained. Some large deep divots took over a few of the par 3s.

Rough:

About 1″ long and somewhat thin. Resort course so I wasn’t expecting real rough here.

Overall:

This was a nice course and I am glad I got to play it but I would not recommend it for the rack rate. There are much more interesting courses in San Diego for the same price or cheaper.
