Golf in Escondido

Designed by golf legend Gary Player, Steele Canyon Golf Club’s 27-hole championship course thoughtfully incorporates the scenic Southern California landscape into three distinct nine-hole courses. Divot-tearing duos can contend with the rolling terrain that characterizes the Canyon Course, a nine-hole odyssey where severe elevation changes place a high premium on sound club selection and a golf cart that does not fear heights. The nuanced difficulty of the Meadow Course hinges on shifting winds and fortified greens as it snakes through more open, pastoral terrain. On the Ranch Course, players can test their mettle at the par 4 third hole—the championship course's signature hole—where a dramatically elevated tee box and a lingering group of ball-snatching paratroopers have led to the hole’s apropos nickname, “Parachute.” Golfers can play any two of the three nine-hole courses with a club-wielding frenemy or combine two Groupons to play as a foursome.
