Arrowood Golf Course : A Hidden Paradise

 In this weeks edition of "San Diego's Best Golf Courses', we will be taking a look at one of the most overlooked golf courses in San Diego: Arrowood Golf Course. 


THE COURSE: 

Located in Northern San Diego County, right next to Camp Pendleton, is what seems to be one of San Diego's most overlooked golf courses, Arrowood Golf Course. Arrowood is an 18 hole, Par 71 course designed by Ted Robinson Jr. The course features long, lush fairways, challenging bunker placements and incredible greens. Much like other courses we have reviewed, Arrowood uses the environment around it to shape the course. Taking advantage of the rolling hills and deep valleys that the terrain has to offer. Arrowood is one of the longer courses in San Diego, with each of the par 5's reaching well over 500 yards, and a par 3 that is nearly 200 yards. Arrowood is not for the faint of heart, requiring long drives and iron shots throughout the course. 



QUALITY: 

Arrowood is one of, if not the most well maintained courses in San Diego. What makes that a rather crazy statement is that fact that San Diego is home to Torrey Pines, one of the most popular courses in the world as well as several other nationally ranked country clubs. Arrowood, year around is able to maintain the course so incredibly well. Each time that I have played, the fairways have been lush and the greens have been perfect. Part of it may be due to the fact that they do not receive a lot of traffic, but none the less it is rather impressive. 




VIEWS: 

Like most courses in San Diego, Arrowood has incredible views. Deep valleys surrounded by trees, rolling hills throughout, and like most other courses,. great views of the Pacific Ocean. What makes the views at Arrowood special, is the fact that you get views of not only the Pacific, but also of the mountains surrounding San Diego. 



OVERALL: 

Overall Arrowood is one of the best courses that I have been able to play. One of the main reasons for that is just the quality of the course. The grounds crew does a great job all year long and it really shows. If you find yourself in San Diego, I would highly recommend playing Arrowood, getting a tee time is rather easy, as they do not fill up very fast. I will provide a link below should you wish to book.

Encinitas Ranch: Views for Days

In this weeks edition of 'San Diego's Best Golf Courses, We will be taking a look at one of the most popular public courses in San Diego: Encinitas Ranch.  THE COURSE:  Tucked just inland on the Encinitas coastline, lies Encinitas Ranch Golf course, one of the most trafficked courses in San Diego. Encinitas Ranch is an 18 hole, par 72 course that is nearly 6600 yards long from the back tees. The course uses the environment around it to make it more challenging than it appears, with cliffs, rolling hills and well placed bunkers and pins, it makes the course much more challenging than what meets the naked eye. The front nine is shorter than the back nine, but more difficult, featuring totally blind tee shots as well as shots over canyons, with plenty of places to go out of bounds. The back nine on the other hand, it much more open and free. While there are still some blind and tight tee shots, overall it is much easier.  QUALITY:  For the amount of golfers that step on...
