The back-to-back par 5s on the front nine demand precise course management through native chaparral and granite outcroppings that define North County's rugged terrain. Dick Rossen's routing maximizes elevation changes across 200 feet of dramatic topography, creating approach shots that play significantly longer or shorter than the yardage suggests. What separates this daily-fee gem from other San Diego County tracks is its ability to punish wayward drives while rewarding aggressive lines with legitimate birdie opportunities.
