Designed by Harry Rainville, David Rainville. Nestled in the foothills of North San Diego County, this is a rolling course with mature trees throughout. Although not long, some of the holes require precise shot-making. Your driver may not always be the answer. Hazards in the form of a creek come into play on several holes. The greens are not severely undulating, but can be tricky. From San Diego (about 30 miles north to the course): Head north on I-15, exit at EI Norte, and turn left. Drive just over a mile and turn right on Country Club Lane.
