Course description
The maintained course record, presented separately from live booking and user reviews.
Overview
Ted Robinson Sr. designed the par-72 routing, which opened in 1979. The course moves through a valley landscape with elevation changes, streams, mature trees and lake-guarded greens.
Design and playing the course
The front nine calls for accuracy along narrower, tree-lined fairways beside streams. The back nine opens across the valley but brings elevated tees and water into play. The club’s course tour describes a downhill approach to a bunkered green at the opening par 5 and a par 3 across a canyon at the twelfth. Those contrasting holes give the round a mix of positional tee shots and aerial approaches. On the club’s June 2025 scorecard, the men’s Black “The Havens” tees are par 72 over 6,629 yards, with a 73.1 rating and 136 slope.
Practice and access
The club offers an extensive practice range and separate short-game areas. Regular golf is for members and hosted guests; the club also runs organized golf events. It is at 29354 Vista Valley Drive in Vista, and the main telephone number is (760) 758-2800.
