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.

Tee time at 2:34 paid $2xx. Immediately thought that’s not too bad for how nice of a course this was going to be. Stepped onto the first green and immediately regretted my decision to play here. Greens were in terrible shape for the price they were demanding to play here. Super dried out with hundreds of divots on each green. The tee boxes and fairways were very nice though, some spots under construction… no big deal. Club house is nice, but absolutely 0 signs pointing you there, had to stumble around the resort to find it. Will not be going back. Save yourself some money and go play the Aviara course down the road. Much nicer and almost half the price.

Nice layout at the Champion course, greenside bunkers pretty much just hard pan dirt, no sand to hit out of.
