Nice golf course with a number of homes surrounding the course. Decent amount of elevation change and a nice view of the mountains. Nothing particular difficult about the course; most of the fairways are pretty straight. Clubhouse has a nice view. Friendly staff. There was a cold ocean breeze on the day I played in April—be sure to bring a pullover.

What should have been a relatively relaxing 9 am round of golf was anything but that. I find it absolutely unbelievable that the golf course at Omni La Costa charges a substantial fee for what amounted to a site seeing tour of their groundskeepers maintaining the golf course. I wish I had kept track of the amount of holes that were played which DID NOT have grounds crew in the fairway and lingering around the greens. Had I known that I would be paying a game of “try not to hit the groundskeeper” I would have saved my money and took a nap by the pool. Between the lawn mowers, edgers and leaf blowers, this round felt more like driving through a war zone than a golf course. I am very well aware of the hard work, care and effort that is needed to maintain a golf course, but if I am paying over $200 to play, it is unacceptable that I am attempting to avoid the lingering crew on the majority of my swings. I will absolutely not be playing golf at Omni La Costa ever again. They need to lower their prices or offer a discounted rate when the grounds crew is on just about every single hole. I very badly wanted to enjoy this course. It is unfortunate that wasn’t the case. The only reason this is 2 stars instead of 1 is because the staff in the pro shop, the starter, and the bag handlers were all very friendly and enjoyable to work with. I appreciated their attentiveness and enthusiasm. This leads me to believe that who ever is managing the groundskeepers is separate from whoever is managing these staff. Waste of money and a waste of time. Go play somewhere else.

One of my favorite courses in San Diego, but hard to get on and expensive. With it being built into a hotel, the price makes sense. The course is always in good shape since I have played it, and the membership seems to be worth it if you live close by, especially the basic sports one. Call and try to book ahead if you are a tourists in town.
