Mission Trails Golf Course

Mission Trails is one of my favorite San Diego golf courses to play. It's very reasonably priced and well maintained. I would recommend this course to anyone.

I love this course and when I lived around the corner (near Vons) I would come daily. One huge reason I chose to come so often was because of the great service received by Jose! He literally treats you the way everyone should be treated. It’s as if he knows we all have the same Creator and respects that!

I also want to say I’ve given a review on Yelp that was highly favorable as well about Jose, but one thing I want to say is that my views on the other man named in that review not to be named here, although not so nice 😅, did not deserve to be publicly blasted because of my 2+ experiences with the man at different places. Jose made sure to let me know that he is a good guy when I expressed my concerns, so another reason to love this guy!

Jose has made things right when they weren’t and made things better when they were already good. There are too many examples of his visible character and kindness to go into detail, but can truly say it is true that you will know a man by his fruit. Jose is of the good fruit bunch. Thanks!

I live down the street from MT and love being able to go there in 4 minutes. The main reason I keep coming back is for the customer service I receive. Mainly from one guy, Jose. Jose is always upbeat and friendly. The second day I ever spoke to him he asked how my family was... It makes me feel like it is my home away from home. He is a genuine dude and I appreciate that more than words can explain.

This is a difficult evaluation because it is so easy to judge this course negatively by other better kept courses. However, those courses charge double or triple or more in greens fees than Mission Trails. But let me, as an intermediate, occasional golfer try this:
Positives: the price was great, $40.00 plus $15.00 for a cart (weekday price but during the week between Christmas and New Years, so not sure it holiday prices). The course layout is fun, undulating greens, some tighter fairways and some wide open, some elevated greens and some elevated tees. The course plays fairly short (from the white tees). Course pace was okay, about 4.5 hours.
Negatives: seems like a lot of deferred maintenance, carts are beat up, many with torn seats, cart paths are often broken concrete or dirt, bathrooms not so great shape, fairways need work (lots of dead or no grass), no staff regulating play (and no starter) and the biggest negative: hardly any yard markers, which means guessing distance into about every green from the fairway.
Even with the negatives though, the price is great and, as mentioned, the course layout is fun and sometimes challenging. For those reasons alone, I'd recommend it and I'll be back.
