This was by far the most poorly managed course I have ever played in my 30 years of golfing. The entire course is poorly managed. Greens are torn up and bumpy with indentations around the cup. They ran sprinklers while we were on the course and got all of our foursome wet while trying to tee off. Bathrooms were trashed and dirty. Their food and drink selections are bad. It seems no one on staff knows what they are doing. I am really surprised this place is still in business after what I experienced. This course is an embarrassment to the game of golf. read more

This is a great short golf course on the east side of the 5. Pros: very affordable tee times. For $32, you can do a full 18 which are great holes to practice your short game but has plenty of options for long game practice. If you go to their twilight hours, it's $28 and even more affordable. They have a putting green and chipping green to help practice that before you begin. Parking is abundant and close by. You don't need a cart for this course and can walk pretty fast but carts are optional add ons. Cons: not much cons here as it was a great course! However, they do not have their own driving range. I went to the Del Mar range before to get a warm up. Verdict: if they had their own range, this would be five stars. A great affordable course where you can have loads of fun and practice your short game but have a chance to get your long game down too. I'd recommend coming here with friends and play a round at an affordable price! read more

See all

This is a nice executive course. It's well kept for the price. Staff were friendly. The tee boxes are okay. The grass was a bit taller than I prefer in a tee box. Pace of play was okay. Had to wait on every hole but not too long. read more

Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course - Golf Near Me - Solana Beach, California

When my long-distance boyfriend visits, one of our favorite things to do is go golfing together--well, he golfs and I drive the cart! This was our second time at this course, and unfortunately, the experience this time was disappointing due to poor service. Throughout the day, the beverage cart attendant repeatedly drove past us with unfriendly looks, despite us being quiet, respectful, and just enjoying our time. Toward the end of our round, I politely asked if she could make a mixed drink for my boyfriend. Her response was a curt "no," paired with an unnecessarily rude glare. It felt totally uncalled for--especially since we watched her be friendly and accommodating to the group ahead of us. It left us feeling uncomfortable and frankly a bit disrespected. When you're paying for a tee time and treating staff with kindness, you expect at least basic courtesy in return. Disappointing, to say the least. read more

The holes on this executive course are perfect to master mid to short irons, and wedge play. There's also a couple Par 4 holes where you could pull a fairway wood, or maybe even a driver. I drove the green on a Par 4 that was 260 yards! The conditions here are always pretty good. The tee boxes are pretty well maintained, the fairways aren't damaged like some other courses, and greens roll nicely. Sometimes the play can be a bit slow, but I'm pretty patient when out enjoying a nice day. Some holes have a nice view of the course. If you're looking for an executive course, I'd definitely give this one a try! read more

Course is perfect for the price. Staff is usually great, but there's a young kid who works there and is always super rude. He's given wrong info regarding youth on course a couple times. Other than that, course is great. read more

This executive golf course offers a superb blend of challenge and enjoyment, perfect for a quick round. Its well-maintained greens and strategically placed hazards make it ideal for both seasoned players and beginners looking to refine their skills. The layout is efficient, and the shorter holes keep the pace moving smoothly. Overall, it's a fantastic option for a quality, time-efficient golfing experience. The tee boxes could use a bit of work. I played on a Wednesday around 11am and was able to walk on without any difficulty. read more

The golf cart upholstery is falling apart.This course has many first time players and it is an embarrassment to see the carts in such poor condition.. Also the door to the ladies room doesn't even close, let alone lock. I certainly hope this situation will be rectified. read more

Played for the first time 2 weeks ago and had a bad experience. Left Escondido at 6:15 for my 7:00 tee time. Plenty of time that early to get a few practice swings in. Unfortunately there was traffic from construction I was unaware of. I let my partner know who informed the employee and at 6:50 he let the 7:10 foursome head out in our place. I swiped my debt card at 7:03 and the employee asked, "what, am I supposed to just let you guys on anytime? You think you can just show up whenever you want and get on?" I thought he was joking so I cracked a smile but quickly realized he was serious. We didn't disrupt the flow at all. In fact the course in front of us was so crammed we waited on virtually every hole. Nothing was pushed behind us and business resumed as usual. It felt like the "peasants" from Escondido weren't welcome. Made a great first impression. The course was ok. Nothing to boast about. "Sand" traps were dirt traps which is usual on the executives around the county. The grass was tall and the tee boxes were absolutely butchered. I will say, for the price it makes sense. It wasn't expensive. Cheaper than Escondido's executive. Long story short, we don't feel welcomed back. There are plenty of other courses that appreciate business and welcome the poor folk from North County. read more

Fun course to go work on short game. Their players club is hard to beat. My gripe is with course condition, especially the tee boxes & bunkers. Tee boxes have a decent amount of grass but depending on the tee placement, you could be hitting off sand. The bunkers are truly awful even though they have a pile of sand off the 8th green. Would go a long way to rake and water their bunkers, but I've heard the greenskeeper is really lazy. read more

Staff and management need several courses in customer service. Worst golfing experience in 40 years. In fact did not play due to the rude treatment we got. Terrible experience. Hope others are treated better. Based on Yelp reviews we are not the only complaint regarding their customer service. Wrote a detailed letter to management Jason and never got a response .... one would think! read more

Changing my past review--happily happily surprised! I begrudgingly golfed once again at Lomas Santa Fe a week ago and was expecting to encounter a grump in the golf shop. If this were to happen again I planned to walk out as I should have done previously. HOWEVER the gentleman at the golf shop check in was very pleasant which made our golf experience SO much nicer! This course is beautiful, well maintained but very busy. All in all I will golf here again-kindness and respect go a long way for me. The staff set the tone and this young gentleman did a great job! Also when it came close to sunset he came around on a golf cart and specified the time we had to be in and asked us to finish out that hole. Very nicely done read more

Great course. Great staff. Perfect opportunity to indulge in a workout with focus, intent and delight. 18 holes, nice walk, a good challenge, greens in great shape, lots of interesting views and conditions for such small course. I had a grilled cheese and a beer after the round. Made my day. read more

Please renovate your teeboxes. Lopsided, covered in weeds and 9 different kinds of grass. Tee markers obviously left in the same place for so long there isn't any grass left to hit off of anymore; just dirt. For as much as this course charges conditions should be better. Overwatered, bunkers full of water on several holes. Greens are in good shape which is what saves this place from being 1 star. read more

The experiences I've had at this executive course have been horrible and I want to share this so that you absolutely do not make the mistake of giving this course a try. Extremely rude staff, without fail every single time playing here. Not to mention the course itself is unkempt, the tee boxes are reduced to dirt. Absolutely not worth the cost to play. But the staff is definitely the worst part. Checking in involves getting a bunch of attitude, especially if you are within the 10 minute mark of your tee time. It sets a terrible tone for the rest of your game, and makes coming extremely unenjoyable read more

Love bringing my 9 year old out here to play - and the "membership" is the best deal in San Diego! There are times the course could be in better shape, wet and dry patches, but overall decent condition and good value for the $$. read more

Nice short course. It is well maintained. The staff was very friendly. The greens are super fast, but true. Only two par 4's, the rest of the course has each hole roughly 96-145 yards, with one or two a bit longer. Pace was good. Price was right...$28 per person plus $20 for a cart. read more

Been golfing here for years and years. Honestly this golf course is soooo underrated. Grass is always perfect. Space in between t times. Gorgeous views. Pro shop and restaurant are cheap and fire. Today I went and the homie Josh at the front desk went above and beyond to make sure I got everything I needed. Get this kid a raise easy. read more

The course is really beautiful and well maintained. The staff are rude and unwelcoming. Probably not gonna go for at least a few years, really hope they turn it around because it is a nice fun course but I do not wish to converse with the staff currently there. read more

This executive course needs better management. From manager Stephanie to the cashiers to the snack bar staff a little customer service could go a long way. The course itself is great for practicing your short irons; wedge thru 8 iron. There are two very short par 4s and a couple of par 3s that more than an 8 iron is required, for an average hitter. The condition of the course is average. The greens take a lot of hits, so they are pretty rough. The fairways are mediocre, but if you can hit a short iron you shouldn't see much of them. $26.00 is a steep price to pay for this course. Oaks North in Rancho Bernardo is a much better value; and much more challenging. read more

I have nothing but good things to say. Green course. Carts are great and in working order. The cart guy is even working during Covid which is awesome. Bathrooms clean on the course. Such a beautiful place to golf. Even when it is busy, it's a fun day out in nature. Easy to park too. read more

Love this course, my daughter had the pleasure of playing today in the North County Junior Golf Association tournament held here. Many challenging holes and not too much elevation to where the girls get tired walking. The tournament requested we help raise canned food for benefit of The Bread of Life Christian Rescue Mission. This food will go to homeless children in Oceanside ! http://bolrescue.org "Bread of Life operates a "drug free & sober" 5o bed overnight shelter during the "shelter season" - December 1 through March 31" "Bread of Life operates a multi-faceted food distribution operation, distributing low-cost packaged foods to approximently 10,000 individuals per month." read more

- Businesses operating during the pandemic, "Thank You" review #24* - Who: Lomas Sante Fe Executive Course What: It felt soooooo good to get out here after being cooped up for about two months. My golf game did not get any better, but as result of the course not being played during the shut dow the greens looked amazing compared to the last time I was here. Course is for learners and really affordable. Additional: No cart rentals, but this course is perfect for that since the holes are pretty close to one another. - *As long as the world is in an unpredictable place with the coronavirus dictating our lives and schedules, I'm going to review businesses who are still operating to provide us some sense of normalcy, and this is one of those reviews. My reviews will be 100% positive when clearly indicated with the "Businesses during the pandemic" header and footer. Feel free to steal the format and do the same for the hard working businesses that you come across. - Danny W read more

Recently went and was a little afraid of the staff because of all the reviews of them. However when I got there I immediately understood why. Everyone in the shop was very incompetent and mean to the workers. So when it was my turn in line, I made a little joke and he was very friendly and helpful. I understand that golf is very stressful and checking in is one of the worst parts, but that doesn't mean we should be rude to the workers. I feel they are very overworked and stressed, the human body can only take so much. Ultimately, I loved it start to finish and I truly believe the workers are very nice. read more

Great executive course for newbs like myself. Got a great deal on Golfzing. Grass and greens were "OK" maintained. some rough/uneven grass and also some muddy ass fairway that can ruin shoes. Overall, still a really nice course if you're looking to work on your short game. The short holes were actually a lot trickier than we thought! read more

Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course - 18th hole - Golf Near Me - Solana Beach, California

Executive courses get a bad rap among golfers, and I don't really understand why. Sure, this course has 16 par-3s and two par-4s -- only one of which you can really use a driver -- but that shouldn't be a reason to discount it. You can bring four clubs and have a perfectly nice little round of golf while working on your short game. So, Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course. Not to be confused with the Country Club next door. Pros: The course is almost always in pretty great condition. There can be some dry spots here and there, but for the most part this is one of the more well-manicured public courses in SD County. Good mix of challenging holes considering the short distances. There are a lots of uphill and downhill shots where you can reach the green, so it's not like you're playing mini golf or anything like that. You still have to strike the ball well off the tee. Hole 5 is a mean son of a bitch for how short it is, as just one example. The carts are in great shape, as is the putting green for warming up before your round. Decent food service area with a pretty killer hot dog for a golf course. Cons: Playing this course in twilight is going to yield a pretty ho-hum experience compared to other courses in the area. For one, I've never seen a cart girl out there even though I know one exists during the day. Also the staff is super primed about getting out of there as early as possible, so if you ride in a cart they are going to make you come back before dark. This course can be absurdly expensive if you don't join the players club, and even if you do the club has little to no perks compared to similar memberships with other courses in SD County. You basically join the PC if you plan on playing this course more than once a month, and you don't even entertain the thought otherwise. Finally, there is no driving range, which isn't too much of a bad thing but again it makes the players club even less attractive to join. You pretty much have to just warm up with a few practice swings before the first tee and honor a breakfast ball all day. This will be neither a pro or con, but I feel compelled to share this story as it does a good job of highlighting the good and bad nature of the experience here. I hit a hole-in-one on this course in May 2021, and yes it was as thrilling as one could possibly imagine. Again, a par-3 course means you'll have plenty of chances and on a decent course to boot. Now I don't know if it was because of the pandemic or what, but nobody in any official capacity seemed to give a shit. I wasn't expecting anything in the way of freebies or anything, but their website and social media indicates that they've at least certified the hole-in-one previously with a certificate and photo documentation. I basically felt like an asshole for even bringing it up. Again, this doesn't detract from my own personal experience and I did everything myself to capture the moment. But it could have been an opportunity to feel endeared to the course and instead I had no problem leaving the course behind once summer sunlight started to wane. Lomas Santa Fe Executive Course is a good course overall, and I will look forward to playing it when the hours allow for it again, but I probably won't go out of my way to do so. It can be a very solid and enjoyable experience if you don't mind leaving most of your clubs at home. read more

The golf is fun there and it is a cheap course. DO NOT SIGN-UP FOR THEIR MEMBERSHIP. It is merely impossible to cancel. They say 30 days, it is a 90 day cancellation policy. 90 DAYS! Who does that? Such a crock to get monthly money coming in. read more

It's old. The bathroom at the 9 is from caddy shack. It's literally from the 70's. I use my 9 95% off the course and driver once. You can be on and off under 2 hours. The folks who work here are awesome. People please don't come here. There's nothing for you to see here. This is the best executive in SD. And tip! read more

I have been coming regularly for several months now. Customer service has improved GREATLY! The course is always in great condition. There have been some minor staffing issues (hard to get kids to take jobs these days), so the snack area is occasionally closed during normal hours. It would be nice if during summer months/weekends if they could utilize the beverage cart more. Or, there is a great little spot by the 8th hole (near the restroom) where they could put a little stand on busy days to sell food and beverages. I think they would generate good revenue. For a par 3 course, I enjoy it. Greens are ALWAYS the best part. read more

Nice course. But the Marshall hates golfers. He drove around the entire course and looked inside golf carts to see if you were breaking the rules. We hit a golf ball at the group in front of us during a scramble on accident and while we went to apologize the Marshall yelled at us for driving backwards after apologizing.. We played on pace, and respectfully. Sure we brought 1-5 beers without paying but we gave them $400 and $100 in beers and they still made sure my friend have a bad time on his birthday. Don't give this course money unless it's 6 Am. The Marshall has no friends and his wife hates him. read more

If I could give zero star I will give zero. I even want to give even minus score. The stuff from this golf court are really unfriendly, which made my 1st visit horrible. Very bad experiences. VERY Rude! Not acceptable. We are three adults and two girls(8 and 10). The two kids have learned golf for several years and play golf very well. We made reservation for 4. Two kids will play with two adult friends, the dad of two girls will just watch, because he has to be there with them. We did this all the time at other golf courses. But they just didn't allow the dad to be there. Very Rude! In the end we paid for 5 people. One adult friend played with two kids, dad was there doing nothing, just watching the two kids. The other adult friend has been moved to the next group. On top of all their rude words.........How ridiculous! read more

Nice little executive course near Solana Beach with a basic offering of par 3s with a couple of par 4s. I've played a few other executive courses around SD and I can't say there's anything remarkable about this one unfortuantely. It's relatively inexpensive for a round and you can get through it in well under 4 hours, maybe even 3 if there's not too many people on the course. The layout is okay with more trees than other executive courses, but they rarely come into play since almost every hole is ~100 yards. There are a lot of traps, with many placed between the tee box and the green, making it likely you'll hit a few. The smaller green size in combination with the trap locations makes it a good place to practive ~10-20 yard chip and sand shots. One downside is the amount of divots and ball marks due to the short holes. They rarely come into play and the tee rotation seems to keep the boxes in decent shape, but they're almost everywhere. Also only 18 hole rounds are offered and not 9, which is good to keep in mind when making a tee time. The combination of pricing and berevity of the course make it ideal for a weekend morning round and short game tuning. read more

Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course - View of the Pacific ocean from the 9th tee box - Golf Near Me - Solana Beach, California

The two employees working the front desk at 4:15pm on 6/3 were pretty rude. They tried telling us they do not honor GolfNow bookings. $35 to ride at 4:15 seems pretty ridiculous when online rates were $22. The first hole was empty, so why not just take care of two first time customers and a local. I had two friends drive all the way down from vista. The two male employees at the front wouldn't even ask there manager for us. I don't think we were asking much, we just came with the intention of paying the online rates. Played here my whole life and I'm embarrassed to come back. We decided to drive to st Mark exec for $18, well worth it. Dear management- not trying to rant, we just did not appreciate the customer service. I thought you should know. read more

Course was great but customer service was awful. Played a round of 18 in the morning and decided to replay another round after lunch. (More on lunch in a second) Looked online and the replay rate was 15.00. Reserved the spot. Went back to pay for the round, and the attendant said it's full price. I said your website says it's 15.00. They said well that's wrong and it's full price. I said well how come it doesn't say that online and they said we haven't updated yet it and that it actually says prices subject to change. Had to beg the guy to knock the price off 10 bucks off the price which was still twice as much as the replay rate. Ran into the Marshall on the course during the second round and told him what happened and even he was surprised it wasn't at the replay rate. Oh and lunch... ordered a breakfast burrito and a Arnold Palmer. Caught the worker vapping in the kitchen when I went back to ask for a refill on my drink. He was right next to all the food and grill. Disgusting. Oh and he wouldn't even give me a refill to top it off. They really need to stop penny pinching customers. Honor the replay rate and give a refill on a soda. Not that hard. read more
