First off… US Open track so there’s history here. It’s a very solid track that makes you think about every single shot you take. The fairways are tight and lined with fairway bunkers throughout.

It isn’t the south course, but it’s still golf on the ocean. That is as much as I can say about it. As a Minnesotan I played here in the winter so my view was skewed as I was just thankful to be playing golf, but this is a glorified muni.

The toughest course I’ve played, but the greens were spectacular. Gil Hanse crushed it on this design, it was similar to some other Hanse courses I’ve played : Fields Ranch East, Rustic Canyon, Colonial CC. If you miss your approach shot you’re staring at double bogey.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of San Diego, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
