Sea 'N Air Golf Course — Attraction in Coronado

Played here for the first time a few weeks ago. I was not impressed with the professionalism of the staff at all. Each staff member was very condescending, rude and was not professional to me or my group.

I played with 3 other friends and we only had intentions on playing 9 holes, the gentleman at the counter made the statement to his co-worker "charge them double, since we all know they're going to pay for 9 but play all 18". (I regret not getting the gentleman's name that said it but I really loved how my integrity was just assumed to be non-existent).

Further more, we were instructed to wait for our tee-time which was everything we planned on doing. The course marshal rode up to us and instructed my group to begin on the 10th hole behind a gentleman that he thoroughly described to avoid any disruption of other players.

We did as we were instructed BY the course marshal. Not soon after we arrived at the 10th, we were preparing to tee-off when a group rode up behind us asking what we were doing and that we cut them off. We advised the group that we were only following instructions from the course marshal and delivered them the option to go in front of us.

Within minutes, one of the staffers rode up on a cart, publicly and embarrassingly scolding us for cutting off the group behind us. All 4 of us plead our case to the staff member that we were only following instructions and the member proceeded to call all 4 of us liars. His words were: "NO HE DID NOT SAY THAT TO YOU" repeatedly and then also explained to us of how that very same marshal that instructed us to the 10th hole walked into the pro-shop asking what we were doing and why were going to the 10th hole (which makes no sense why he would ask them what we were doing when he obviously knew what he told us to do).

The staff member then ordered us to go back to the 1st hole and "WAIT TO BE CALLED".

We made our way back to the 1st hole and waited when the announcement came over the loud speaker for us to be next to tee-off. The announcement made was repeated very disrespectfully and then repeated slowly and disrespectfully as if we were incapable of understanding English.

Our entire game was ruined thanks to this experience and I felt as if I wasted money playing that day because I could not believe the lack of professionalism and embarrassment I had to endure.

I have no intentions on returning to that course and I do not recommend it to anyone since they do not seem to understand what they tell customers and then have the nerve to call them out for lying.

Also, they do a very bad job at marshaling anyway since one hole we had at least 4 groups on the fairway as a a group of 4 spent at least 45 minutes on the green for whatever reason, no one knows, but it caused a significant back up on the course.

Never again. Go to Admiral Baker if you want professionalism and organization.

On a positive note, the course is very well maintained and scenic, if you do decide to go, I hope you have...

23 Jan Update

Played front 9 twice because back nine was closed due to flooding from unseasonable rain. Course is in good shape (considering) and improving--fairways are doing very well from increased moisture and considerable attention from the staff (lots of attention to course maintenance). 19th Hole suffering from "brought to you by the US Govt" maintenance to the outside deck (painful to watch--your tax dollars at work... Not!), Give the course a couple more days and enjoy a great beach-side round! Staff is (as always) awesome. 19th Hole may take a (great) while longer...

Nice beach-side golf course for folks that have military base access. Staff is awesome and engenders a sense of community. New head pro is politically correct but not readily apparent. Course suffers from lack of resourcing by Navy MWR course management hierarchy (think Adm Baker South). Greens are generally very good but "Brown is (not!) the new green" for fairways and roughs, despite what the new signs say. A good value for folks with military ID's and should be played frequently by...

I played this course yesterday with a buddy. First time. The tips are just over 6k yards. The course is fun and challenging.

The views on the back 9 are great and it's cool to see planes landing right over you.

I found the fairways to be in good shape. The greens were excellent and fast. The bunkers did have a little funky sand in them, but nothing terrible.

There was a nice mix of hole types with some legit dog legs.

The staff was friendly and helpful.

One note: driving range is closed on Tuesdays until 11am for maintenance. The chipping and putting practice areas are small, but sufficient.

With planes taking off and landing, it can be noisy, which you can work around. The sound of freedom isn't quiet!

I'd definitely...
