Barona Creek Golf

Located in the Barona Valley Ranch Resort and Casino, the golf course was designed by Gary Roger Baird, and measures 7088 from the rear tees, with a 140 slope, opened in 2001 and is part of the Mission Indians Reservation. It is located northeast of San Diego about 40 minutes from downtown. The course has wide open, gently rolling fairways and large, undulating Bent grass greens, most surrounding by white sand bunkers. Each hole has a piece of granite with the yardages from each tee and also the tribal name brand of one of the original Indian families that moved there. The front nine holes is more undulating fairways and slight elevation changes with some optical illusions with grass mounding combining with sand bunkers makes them appear closer to the green than they are. The back nine holes are more hilly, and is routed around a number of rock outcroppings. A fun layout, a little overpriced, but in good shape.
