Goat Hill Park Golf Course

A really laid back and fun course. It’s quite challenging with lots of hills and valleys. Some holes have almost not fairway and the longer holes have hazards forcing you to play short. The carts, fairways, and greens are all in great shape. The overall vibe is very laid back and working class. The clubhouse was nice and very friendly. The only issue I had was someone didn’t clean up after their dog on one of the fringes of the green. This feels like a pillar of the community. Somewhere for people to get outside and have some fun together.

One star less just because it only had one par 5 and the rest were mostly 3’s. Up, down, ravine, short, narrow, all of the above short game necessary and good greens. Undulation on a major scale. Also very narrow. A few holes were really on top of each other. Not sure about the ocean views but the weather was fantastic.

This quirky, hilly, tough, fun course is well worth playing for anyone who loves golf. It annoyed me, thrilled me, ate me up, and rewarded me. Throw in the best hot dogs at the turn in San Diego, and a friendly staff, and you get great value for fun golf. Yes, it's weird. That's part of the fun. Just come play it. And bring extra balls.
