Great value course especially mid week rates. Gives old school vibes and the bar and restaurant always impress. Range is short irons only (150yrd max) and all dirt hitting off mats. Two separate and well maintained chipping and sand practice areas. Wish we lived closer.

The golf course is good, it’s not great, with a lot of potential. The fairways need a lot of work but it seems to be the standard for most affordable golf courses around San Diego. The greens are in great shape. The back nine is fun to play! Some interesting layouts. The staff is friendly and helpful enough to get by. I will play it again if the opportunity presents itself.

I most recently played CW on 5/25/2025. I do play Cottonwood at least once a week. I am also a member of its Men’s Club. I love playing CW. It has a great layout and its location is scenic and rustic. Historically, it was a great course for many years and was the site for many great tournaments and events. It has seen ownership changes over the years and, unfortunately, ownership has not invested the funds necessary to keep it, or get it, in optimal condition. The tee boxes are spotty, the fairways have bare spots, the course has more gophers than golfers, there are too many dead trees, healthy trees are not maintained, the cart paths are dirt and replete with pot holes, the bunkers are more dirt than sand, course signage is old and in disrepair, ball washes are few and far between, bathroom facilities are C-condition at best, and the Pro Shop isn’t. The greens are good, but, unfortunately, golfers do not fix their ball marks (or repair their divots) and it appears there is insufficient staff to do these repairs on a regular basis. The bar and food are pretty good but the facilities are old and minimal. The driving range is a joke. There are good putting and chipping/pitching areas. That being said, there is a special charm and challenge to this course that make it worthwhile to play. The conditions that existed when I last played, and that currently exist this May of 2025 for CW are pretty good and make the course fun to play. If only ownership would invest more into this course it could be great. For me, I will continue to play it regularly as I really like the course and its quirky charms.

Beautiful day out at the course. Cottonwood helped us host a tournament and we had a blast, they made it easy for us. Thanks,

Course is in decent shape and a nice value golf course. Overall, the facilities need some TLC. I also understand new carts are arriving soon. Staff is always friendly and they provide great service. Food is very good and also an extremely nice value. Keep an eye out for their specials too.
