@gregsandiego mentioned this course awhile back, and I do not recall if I have played there before or not, but may get the chance for my daughter's birthday unless she prefers a venue closer to San Clemente (maybe in @Golfing Dad 's backyard.) Looking forward to trying out the new Tour Edge Hot Launch 2 I will be receiving this week.

Have fun. The course has some real challenges. The hole before their signature hole has you driving up a steep hill. It's punishing if you don't make it and watch your ball roll back down.

But then you get to a nice pitch off a steep cliff to a green far below.

They have good beer and hot dogs.

I'm not counting on anything this weekend as we get another monsoon prediction - are you ?

 

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

I have learned not to plan much of anything given the propensity of the S.O. to make a casino appearance.

I play that course often. It is in fair shape considering how many people play it. The greens are pretty fun. It used to have more grassy areas but to save water they now have some dirt where grass is not a must.

3 metal can be a great club in a few holes, including the first hole.

I think you'll enjoy it. Hopefully you can get a good deal.

Significant Other.  My daughter and I wont be going until Jan 31st though. Too early to plan yet, also depends on weather.

its either that or Arrowwood which is a lot nicer. We could also go to San Clemente Muni, or one of the others in the area. Cost wise, Oceanside would be less as I can get Retired Military rate. But no matter, we will see.

Arrowwood is very nice. Combo Tees, rolling hills, scenic water hazards, top notch facility.

Comparing prices Oceanside this Sunday at 10am is $36 and San Clemente $59. For me Oceanside is already a long drive north.

On the other hand I've always wanted to try San Juan Cap's course.

My wife and I stayed in Oceanside awhile after I got out of the Marine Corps. O-Muny became my home course, and I played it a couple of dozen times as my job was evening shift.

One thing I remember: It was fairly flat for the most part, but the fairways were raised and it drained off pretty quickly if it rained.

Many of the trees were freshly planted, and I imagine those that survived are quite large by now.

@WUTiger I still have not played this course. I happened to drive by and noted it is called The First Tee and has the Ely Calloway Golf Training Center there. I think it is the same course, but could be mistaken. It is on Douglas Drive though.

I've played Arrowhead twice now. Planned to play the muni but never got around to it. My daughter played a couple of days ago and said "lots of water hazards that were lakes".

What about Torrey Pines?  Or Coronado? Or Balboa?  Torrey not so good for Escondido @Hacker James, but for San Diego @NualgiLakes, $41 weekday rate for the North that's really hard to beat.  Of course if your not in San Diego city not so cheap.  There use to be a San Diego county rate, but that is now gone.

Yep. it was not so bad when I lived in Rancho Penasquitos, was able to get city rate. My choice lately is The Vineyard. $36 anytime (senior Military).

That's a course I like.

Torrey Pines North senior weekday rate of $29 is just ridiculous (in a good way). $29 to play a course that the PGA tour plays on and it's on the ocean with beautiful unrestricted views.  That's how I'll celebrate my 62nd birthday (in three years).

I do the players club deal at the Vineyard. Nice course. The wind can make it more difficult when it's blowing through

I looked into that deal. Doesn't make a lot of sense for me as my military discount is about the same, however....they do also give you I believe 20 range balls per day, free rounds at certain times, and I think at least one complimentary a year.  I'd have to take a closer look at the numbers to be certain.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
