The Coronado Municipal Golf Course is located across the Bay from downtown San Diego on Coronado Island. The island, also where the Del Coronado Hotel and the North Island Naval Air Station are located, take I-5 south of downtown to the San Diego-Coronado Bridge and across. The course is a fantastic setting with views of downtown, the bridge, the Bay, and the Del Coronado from every hole. It's a flat course designed by Jack Daray and opened in 1957. Tee times are tough, some say tougher than Torrey Pines. The layout features large, flat greens, short rough, and palm tree and eucalyptus lined fairways, and few bunkers. It's a par 72, 6590 yards, 120 handicap, and 71.5 slope from the blue tees. and if you can secure a tee time, a short hop from downtown San Diego. If you're a single just go out and wait to fit in, it's worth it, and a cheap course to play by San Diego standards.

This place is so over-rated. Yes a few holes on the water, and a scenic setting on the harbor with view of downtown, but the layout is flat and boring, in marginal shape, with a horrific pace of play for as short as it is.

I love playing Coronado, the view are fantastic, the course challenging and cheap, and you can walk. The only issue I have with the course is the pace of play, which is always slow! On the bright side, you have plenty of time to enjoy the views! Cheers!

Best value in San Diego Period. $15 after 1pm during the winter and $30 pretty much any weekday. How can you beat that? Views of downtown San Diego, Navy ships, the bay, and breezes from the ocean. Great food, snacks, nice driving range, fun wide open course. There is nothing I don't like about Coronado Golf Course. I lived in Orange County for 2 years and hardly played golf because every course is $70+. When I moved to San Diego I realized golf CAN be affordable, and Coronado Golf course makes it happen!

Very nice course. Greens were fast and rolled true. Fairways and tee boxes were pretty good. Beautiful setting, reasonable greens fees.
