@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.

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.

Focus, connect and follow through!

@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.

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
