About Cottonwood Golf Club
Cottonwood Golf Club is a public course in El Cajon, set among the rolling hills of Rancho San Diego roughly 20 minutes from downtown San Diego, in a quiet setting away from the city.
The club offers 18 holes of scenic golf. The Ivanhoe Course once hosted PGA Tour play and is laid out to suit a wide range of abilities, from beginners to more experienced players, and from juniors to seniors.
Clubs are required for play, and a limited number of Callaway rental sets are available on site.
