Length 6781 yards
Slope 138
Rating 73.5

Steele Canyon Golf Club is a 27-hole layout designed by Gary Player that is hailed as one of southern California's best courses. The holes are divided into three nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The Canyon, Ranch, and Vineyard nines each offer a different set of challenges. The Canyon/Ranch Course starts in an expansive canyon, climbs across dramatic elevation changes, and then wraps around an operating ranch. Free-roaming cattle wander all along the back nine. Although there are no blind shots, golfers will be faced with uneven lies and elevated greens. Steele Canyon's signature hole is the Ranch's par-4 third hole. The tee is perched 175 feet above the fairway and plays into the prevailing winds that blow from left to right. It is one of San Diego County's most memorable holes.

vineyard 9 is aweful

soooo disappointing!! They put us on the vineyard and it was horrible. Sad becasue it feels like they had to cram it into the layout to appease the home builder not golfers. the Canyon 9 was a great and completely different stature. the starter was grumpy, never said a nice word only the cart number and when we could tee off. No, Hello how are you, hope youre having fun, have a nice round. Just all business no courtesy at all. Maybe he felt guilty for sending us down the vineyard 9

Does not Disappoint

Played Canyon/Ranch with a member and his friend. The course was in great shape. I thought the layout was fair and rewards long tee shots. It has 4 tees to accommodate all levels of play. Hitting to the correct side of the fairways shortens certain holes considerably..The starter provided me their course book which was a great help for first timers. I would like to play Steele Canyon again.

challenging track, which i knew. In overall good shape, even though greens were recently punched, they still rolled true and quick, go figure. The course will test your game so play the appropriate tees.

Good course. Ridiculously overpriced

Great course but the price does not justify it. They constantly have been raising rates and now near the same prices as the top courses in the area. Why pay to play here when I can spend alittle more for Maderas or Torrey

Great course! Staff was friendly, Marshall Tim was awesome and was very respectful when we fell behind 9 min pace of play. Had bad experiences with other marshals. Thank you for the fun experience, will be golfing here again
