Default executive course in spanish springs area

what is the nicest executive course in the spanish springs area that is easily reached by golf cart? Have first time visitors coming that want to try an executive course and they are staying in that area. Thanks in advance.

De la Vista is very nice, just north of 446 off Morse

Since Mira Mesa is currently closed I would go with either Hilltop or El Diablo.

Hill Top is the most picturesque. When you start off at the Orange Blossom Country Club you have a fantastic view. If they were willing to take just a little longer golf cart ride, I really like Brairwood and Walnut Grove near Nancy Lopez. That course also has some nice scenery.

I play De La Vista quite often since it is very near my house. I don't rank it as one of the better courses, however.

The execs near Lopez are nicer, I think. But, some like vanilla and some like chocolate.

The only two courses near Spanish springs are Chula Vista and Mira mesa. All the others are as far as pelican, heron, Bacall or Bogart. on those Bogart is nicest.

Hmmmm, executive courses close to Spanish Springs include Mira Mesa, Chula Vista, Hilltop, Silver Lake, De La Vista, El Diablo, and El Santiago. A little longer ride gets you to the four executives in the Lopez area (Amberwood, Briarwood, Oakleigh, and Walnut Grove), Saddlebrook, Hawkes Bay, Pimlico, Churchill Greens, Belmont, Pelican, and Heron. Lots of good options are available within a short golf cart ride.

Close by go to El Diablo, little longer drive, Briarwood or Walnut Grove. Challenging and usually excellent condition.

I'm still trying to stick the ball on the 1st green! Nice course.

Chula vista is a nice easy course. Especially good for people with mobility issues as it is pretty flat.

Mira Mesa IMHO is best, offers variety, should be in great shape as opening day is in near future.

Don’t forget to get their guest passes, or they won’t be able to play.
