University City Village Golf Course

Paid only $ 8/​person on a Sunday afternoon for 9 holes.
This course plays short — anywhere from 50 – 125 yards, so only bring your putter and two small wedges.
A nice place to practice your short game, or to have your bachelor party — roll on a few coolers and take your time drinking between each hole and let others behind you pass you up.
Good times no matter how many people you come with — either a twosome or 20 guys like we did.

Great spot for a quick easy round of golf. Some of the holes are roughed up but it’s only a few bucks to play.

A great neighborhood secret! Don’t expect much as the greens are rough and not well maintained but I am a beginner player, just love getting outdoors, never bring a score card and have a wonderful time every time I play here. Never a crowd and everyone most polite on the course, I think a lot of us are beginners! Beautiful, big trees, easy course, wildlife and friendly staff! After three are twilight hours for $ 8 bucks, a good deal. I keep going back!

The pros: This course is never busy and is close to my house. It is a 9 hole par 3 with holes that range from 60 — 108.
It cost $ 10 bucks on weekdays and 12 on weekends.
The greens are bumpy and are tough to hit a straight putt. The course isn’t well taken care of with high tuffs of grass and rabbit holes.
Its still fun and I go here from time to time. Don’t expect much tho. There is a long walk back to the car afterwards tho 5 blocks

This place was OK, I’m surprised that anyone would give this one an «as good as it gets.» $ 12 for green fees was a little steep, but based on some of the reviews, this looked like a good place to get a first-​timer started. It’s actually a great place to get a newb started.
Some pluses, not very crowded, short distances from tee to green.
Some minuses, poorly maintained greens, some dry «turf» (read: dirt), and LONG walk back to the clubhouse.
So, the course ain’t too bad. The first tee is an interesting one; over ice plants to a downward green. Not the ideal first shot for a «beginner.» Overall, some of the course was just poorly maintained, others were fairly nice. I think the longest hole was 140 yards, the shortest was probably 60 yards. The greens were in pretty bad shape. I recommend you try their small practice green near the first tee to get a feel for the speed of them (S. L. O. W.).
All in all, this was a fun course, but I may try Lomas Santa Fe.

UCV was the setting of my first time ever playing golf. The only experience I have is from occasional once in a year mini golfing, so you can say I was pretty much a newbie.
For $ 8, you really can’t beat the quality for the price. I was happy to say I got my first hole on par and ended up doing not as terribly as I thought. The holes are all very different and some are definitely more challenging than the other.
The setting is gorgeous, with beautiful houses surrounding the course and wild rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks everywhere. At one point, my ball came very close to hitting one.
If you’re a newbie like me, or just looking for a short course, this is a great place to go!

This is a great course for beginners, I’ve been here twice and still wouldn’t mind playing the 9-​hole golf course. The staff is really laid back, and the prices are VERY reasonable. I plan to being beginners there to get a feel for the grass play, and to have a relaxing Saturday out with friends. There are only two minor downsides to the course, the two times I’ve gone, the putting green wasn’t maintained, and there is always the dreaded walk up back to the club house. I recommend if you are playing with 4 people, to bring two cars. One at the entrance of the club house and one at the end. But this course is still recommended if you want to try the sport out.

my favorite golf course ever now, it is like a little mom and pop run place, the people that run it run it 7 days a week and pretty much do it on their own dime or for free. Its a short 9 hole course and the holes are average 70 yards.
This place is GORGEOUS, all the plants and wildlife are always so pretty, and since its in san diego the weather is often amazing.
What really seals the deal tho is they have a month pass for 55 bux (the other reviewer who said 45 must have gotten it a while ago), all you can play as much as you want. You will easily spend that just hitting buckets at the range in a month and this course is always pretty open i have always walked right on. 8 dollar bucket of balls? no thx, ill go play university city and iron out my shortgame, pun intended.
Sidenote i have played here everyday this week so far (4 days in a row) so i already got the worth out of the month pass in my first week!

«Pitch n Putt» as we call it in my circle is a great option when you are: waiting for payday, sick of losing balls at ‘bigger courses’, only have an hour to spare, or simply want to work on your short game. This is a great place to take a date that has never played, or even better, levels the playing field for players of all abilities. I don’t remember how we discovered this little gem, but it is great.

Before I begin remember this course has a green fee of $ 8.00 for 9 holes. It is located in University City near 805 and 52. The course is not crowded. The greens are not maintained well. Lots of worn out missing grass, poor greens, and overplayed fairways. However, it is $ 8.00 per game. It is cheaper then a mini golf course. It does offer a good place to practice chipping and putting. All nine holes can be played in ½ hours.

My favorite golf course in San Diego. Why the five stars? This course is a big mix of memories and good times.
I would always meet up with my friends here to enjoy a late afternoon of beers, golf, and the occasional smoke break on hole 6. In the summer the owners would let us play free at 7pm and we would still get the full 9 holes in. The prices have gone up but so has everything else. My friends and I have used this place to get away from what we were doing, get outside, hit some balls, and have good conversation. We would even take the beginner golfers or girlfriends as this place is the least bit intimidating.

Excellent little golf course. We went at 5 after work tonight and it was only 8 bucks to golf. All the holes are pretty small. 100 yards or so and there is one hole thats maybe 130 yards. Good place to practice your short game. They arent lying when they say park one car at the bottom of the hill. Its a freaking joke. We clocked it and its about .6 miles to get from the 9^th hole back up to the parking lot… and its pretty freaking steep. Even with a rolling cart it would still be a biznatch to walk. Lots of rabbits and squirrels all about and even a swarm of bees… that wasnt cool… but all in all its a good spot and I will be back soon.

Great place to practice your short game. A bit pricey ($ 10) when considering you’re only getting 9 80ish yard holes, and you have to walk a million miles back to your car if you fly solo. It’s definitely a leisurely (beer) course, so plan on taking your time or just fly though the laggers. I like to play 3 – 4 balls that way i really can work on my game, no one has complained yet.
i only need a wedge, putter and a pitching wedge on one hole so you don’t have to drag around much.

Ah, I love this place. Nothing beats a little pitching and putting on a sunny weekend day in San Diego. Bring some beers, some balls, some clubs, and you’re good to go. It’s 9 holes and they’re all under 100 yards. I think it’s still only $ 10 bucks to go. A little tip: Park one car at the bottom near the 9^th hole so you can drive back up. Or else you end up getting heat stroke walking all the way back up to the parking lot. I’m lazy.
