Carmel Highland Golf Resort & Spa

The Carmel Highland Golf Resort & Spa features an 18-hole Troon Golf managed course with impeccably maintained greens and rolling fairways. This beautiful par 72 tract features 80 strategically placed bunkers and many exciting elevation changes. There are three sets of tees that play to distances and slopes measuring 6428 yards/123 slope, 6018 yards/116 slope for men and 130 for women, and 5461 yards with a slope rating of 125 for ladies playing from the forward tees.

Locals say the course is as challenging as it is picturesque. Jack Daray, Jr. and Stephen Halsey added three new holes and redesigned the others in 1987.

Decent course in San Diego, rates are low, greens are in decent shape, holes are challenging enough for all abilities. Only drawbacks: only one restroom on the whole course, kind of ridiculous; practice area doesn't open until 7 a.m., so if you play early, make sure to warm up at home; no full-legth driving range; these guys are so cheap, they don't even have complimentary 2-3 tees in the cart, you have to buy extra tees if you run out. Oh, and God forbid if you go to the chipping area without being a "member", one of the young punks will give you crap about it in the most unfriendly manner.

Played 8/16, teed off @ 0630. The $45 w/cart internet deal was the best this course had to offer. The majority of the tee boxes weren't level, there were brown spots and bare ground throughout the fairways and rough, standing water on the tee boxes and fairways. The sand was hard packed, though it looked like it had been raked recently. The greens were above average for San Diego, though inconsistent from hole to hole, with no way to gauge speed on each. The pin placement on some was horrible, with the group having combined mid-teen putts on several holes. The cart guy didn't have anything but beer, no food, snacks or non-alcoholic beverages, except diet something or other. The clubhouse was nice until we sat down and realized the table hadn't been wiped off since the last group and it took us two more tables to find a clean one. The driving range doesn't open until 0730 so anyone with an early tee time gets no warm-up. All in all, this was not a very enjoyable round due to poor course conditions and unenthused staff (except for the starter, he always has a smile and a kind word for everyone).
