I remember spending a lot of time at the snack bar. Go figure. Anyways, banquet hall we were housed in for the event was spacious and well kept. The tables were in good order and the chairs comfortable enough. The building offered a stage, clean restrooms, an area for the caterer to set up, and a good sounds system. The staff at the front as you walk into the building were welcoming and friendly. There are several parking lots and one adjacent to the banquet hall we were in. The land escaping immediately around the building we were in was very nice, but I did notice that the gold course needed some TLC. The grass was very uneven and not well kept up.

They were group lessons, but I thought it would be OK for a beginner. We'll, I was wrong. The instructors were kind, but that's the best I can say about them. Kids spent 95% of the time waiting in line. Once it was their turn, they would only have a couple of opportunities to practice. And then in case they sucked, no feedback was provided to them. Nor did the instructors corrected them and showed how to improve their performance. I guess you get what you pay for, and it was very optimistic of me to expect good services for such a low price, but not to that extent! Also, my kid was verbally abused by a couple of other kids and it was completely ignored by either their parents or instructors.

Baseball field and basketball courts as well as recreation center with restrooms, indoor courts, free food for kids in summer, little free library outside rec entrance. We live it and frequent often.

Full disclosure: I haven't spent more than four or five hours of my life (if that), in Lemon…read moreGrove. Correction: That may or may not be true, as I don't really know Lemon Grove's actual borders, so I may have spent time passing through here on the freeway without knowing it. It seems like a pretty run-down city. I'm all for a diamond in the rough and not judging a book by its cover and understanding and acknowledging an old place's charm or at the very least its onetime charm even if that charm has long since faded. I'm not even basing my review on how the city looks or makes me feel. This review is based on two things: the conditions of the streets in Lemon Grove, and its neighborhoods. I don't think I've seen asphalt is condition this poor anywhere other than abandoned roads, and even many of those roads had portions that were still decent. It feels like 70 percent or more of Lemon Grove's streets need their pavement replaced badly. I may be being generous. Why do citizens put up with this? I'm not talking about potholes; I'm talking about degraded asphalt that should have been replaced decades ago. I'm not exaggerating. Just based on that, I would never voluntarily live here. The neighborhoods are cute in an old-California spread-out kind of way. Not quite the 1950s, but the 1920s and 1930s, or at least what I know about them. There are lovely groves of orange and lemon trees in people's yards. Some of the houses are run down, of course, and some front yards are a mess. But other people take pride in their little pieces of the American dream, which makes the sorry state of the street conditions that much more depressing. I think Lemon Grove is my least favorite city in San Diego County.

There is a small used book store that also had puzzles and board games outside for sale. We happened to come in 30 minutes before story time for the little ones (ages 1-5) and it was a lot of fun.
