Meadow Lake Golf Club

The worst condition in the County. When my friends schedule this place to play I stay home.

Worst course in San Diego and heres why:
1. Course management was an hour late and surpassed our tee time by 45 minutes. No discount, well we got a free soda!
2. Tee boxes were hills with patchy grass and some local wildlife.
3. Fairways and the rough blended together. The fairways went from dirt to 6 inch weeds in most places. Hasn’t been cut in a long long time! I did notice the green keepers wrenching on one of thier trucks, maybe they should be out of the course wrenching on something else?
4. Greens, hit or miss. Some were great and some looked like someone had gone in with a shovel and some sand. Some greens were recently punched, where’s the best place to dump the punched green droppings? Of course on the fringe of the greens! Real head scratcher there!
5. The management is clearly is running this course into the dirt. I’d be surprised if this course survives another year. They should be embarrassed by the efforts they have put into this once nice course!
Don’t waste your hard earned money here! They don’t care, I’m guessing the money that does come in goes to thier pockets and clearly not the course!

This is a great course. You have to realize that this isn’t a top 100 golf course but it’s only 30 bucks for 18 holes and a cart. Or you can get lucky and throughout the day they have specials for 15 bucks with a cart for 18 holes. I have played twice now and have yet to have a bad time.

My golfing buddies and I play here occasionally. I think it’s a nice course to play. Sure, there are a few bare spots, but that’s the case everywhere in San Diego County right now because water rates have skyrocketed and we’ve had little rain. The greens and tees are in decent shape and the views from several holes are really great!
Don’t listen to the lunkhead impatient overachievers who’ve posted lousy reviews here (These are likely the same guys who hit right into you if you take more than 7 minutes to play a hole and never fix their ball marks). This is a great ‘value’ golf course; if you want better, then stick to Madera, LaCosta, or Aviara, where they charge $ 200+ for a round. Otherwise, shut up and enjoy the pleasant surroundings and the challenges this course offers. It’s a fun place.

Played here yesterday for the first time in several years. The track is interesting with lots of elevation changes and spectacular views. Fairways are terrible and big reason this didn’t get more stars. Bunkers were unraked with water in several but not an issue unless you hit it in a bunker :). Greens were very good, probably rolling at 9 or 10 and pretty true. There are some great holes out here including several par 4’s over 400 and a 220 par 3. The one throwaway hole is #18, a 500+ par 5 that forces you to hit a blind fairway metal or less in order to avoid a pinch point in the fairway which is about 20 yards wide, with ob left and hazard right.
This course will never compare to a Maderas or Aviara (both on GD top 100 «courses you can play») so don’t bring false expectations. It is what it is. But for $ 37 for a morning round on Sunday? Hell yes I would play it again.

After several month’s difference between the last Unilocal reviews and when I went this last weekend, I was hoping to see some beneficial changes to the course.
The only reason I give this place 2 stars instead of 1 is because the staff was really friendly.
The course is simply run down. Fairways are comprised of horrible dirt/​brown patches. You don’t have a clue about if you are in the fairway or the rough, as there is really no difference. There wasn’t a single fully green/​manicured fairway. Almost every tee shot (except for the par 3s) is completely blind. Just not fun to play on.
I played it for $ 49 off GolfNow. If asked again, I wouldn’t play it for $ 15. This place needs some serious upkeep.

Where do I start. There is no grass. Clubhouse lied about conditions. The greens were the worst I have ever seen them. I grew up in Hidden Meadows and love the layout of this course, but it’s evident that management has given up and is trying to milk as much money out prior to new home developments. Appears to be going the way of Escondido Country Club.
Just sad…
