This is the first golf course I've ever played on. It's super cool, centrally located, mellow, public, only costs $10 a person. Every hole is par 3 and none of the holes are more then 100 yards long. I thought the lack of maitenence and general lack of fussiness ( not to mention some hobo clothes just off the 17th!) were cool. This is a great place to work on your pitching wedge shots and your putting, you don't have to worry about losing any balls, and no one is going to give you any crap because you suck. Which I do. Bad.
Can't wait to come back!
Also, they host the Calloway Under 8 Regional Championship. Under 8 golf championship- doesn't that sound like a Wes Anderson movie? -

Presidio Hills Golf Course is an eyesore for such an area like Old Town, which is a huge draw for tourists in San Diego. The course is a fairly barren course without many hazards or terrain changes. Essentially, it is a fairly flat and unimaginative course that is about 70% covered with dead brown grass in the summer months.
The landscaping and greens maintenance here is atrocious. Our hero was appalled to find naked dirt fill, weeds, and poorly repaired holes on the greens. The rough is no joke on this course either because it gives "rough" a new name.
By the end of 18 holes, our hero was tired of the repetitive layout of the holes (that are all pretty much 50-70 yards) and vowed never to return again.
PROS:
- $10 for 18 holes of par 3 golf is pretty damn cheap.
- Very friendly course for beginners as it's not crowded at all.
CONS:
- Essentially the most poorly landscaped course in San Diego.
- No sand bunkers, water, or any other sort of creative hazards on the course.
- Ball washers and benches can only be found 25-30% of the time on each hole.Listed in: FORE!

Fun fact: This is the course where Tiger Woods played his first tournament. (At least, that's what my Dad said)
It's a tiny little par three, and it's maintained about as well as everything else that the city runs. It's not bad, it's just not exactly great either. By comparison, Colina Del Sol is beautiful, the same price and the same pitch and putt concept. Go there instead, you'll be stunned and pleasantly surprised.
If you're a golf newby these courses are great, so long as you don't mind seeing a 5 year old hit it way better than you. I struggled, the cute little 3 foot tall guy behind me managed to hit a hole in one or two. At any rate, this course is what it is, and it's proximitiy to Casa Guadalajara just makes it that much better.Listed in: Run, don't walk (okay, you can…

Never been golfing on any kind a course besides mini before coming here, so I don't have much to compare too...but it seemed to serve its purpose fine. And for ten bucks, you can't really complain.
The lack of maintenance of the green was a bit disappointing, the only green grass was right around the hole.
For an easy, convenient, fun time that's a step up from mini golf, give Presidio a whirl! -

Dude, Par 3. Freakin' Pitch and put. It's a good for a "my first golf course" play.
All you need is your wedge, a 9, and your putter. Three freakin' clubs.
If you bring a wood, you're a freakin' retard.
You can't miss it either. It's freakin' next to Old Town.
When you're done playing, cruise into town to wet your palate, and lumber home, ya freak.Listed in: Tiger's Got Nuthin' on Me.

Pro's: $10 per person, $1 club rentals, Not too busy.
Con's: The course's color is mostly light brown because of dead grass or straight up dirt. Very little maintenance.
It's hard to give this course anything more than 3 stars because it's so poorly maintained. It is a short "pitch n' putt" which is good to work on your short game, if only the grass were anything like what you would play on normally. Maybe the grass is more livelier during Spring or Winter, making it better to practice on. It's also hard to figure out where you are hitting your ball to at first because all the grass looks the same.
I will still go back and play here again since it's only $10 to play. -

a great track for beginners who are learning and want to move beyond the driving range but not quite ready for a 'real golf course.' I took my girlfriend here and it was a great learning experience. She had fun and I got in some short game. The greens are really not greens lol but just low/medium cut grass. It's more of a fun experience to take young kids or friends if they don't really know how to play well yet. You can't complain for 10 bucks of low-key golf and even a full 18. The holes range from 40 yards to 110 yards with the majority being 80 yard holes. A great value and I will definitely be back here again! ... especially after being 3 inches from a hole in one hehe.

Perfect place to pick up my new hobby. It's a great, cheap way to enjoy the beautiful weather we live in. Keep in mind this is a course of only short par-3 holes. I think the longest hole is only 90 yards. Play 18, wander over to Old Town for a 19th hole margarita! The staff here is great.

I played my first 18 holes of golf here today. My boyfriend and I were the only ones on the course. I think it is a great place for beginners to learn in a low-stress environment. The scenery is pretty and Old Town is steps away for 19th hole dining and drinks. I highly recommend!
