Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon - Legends Course

Played the legend course today 6/20/26. Had a pleasant time to be honest. The greens were good, fairways were kept, and tee box was decent. I read a lot of reviews that just made it seemed like it was terrible. For the most part, it was a solid 18. I did not play their other course so I can’t say anything on that. The legend course was good overall.

The bunkers were the worst though. Very hard and not sanding at all, not playable. They definitely need to throw some sand in there forsure.

I enjoyed my round Friday afternoon. Pace of play was good. The course had a few issues. A few fairways were very saturated. As I walked, it was very spongey or muddy. We had a few mud balls. Bunkers were either very shallow with hard dirt or had standing water. This may all have been a result of the efforts to put out the recent fire nearby, so I won't hold it against them. You could see the burn areas from the course. Other than that, most of the course looked fine. Staff was friendly. I'd play here again.

Used to play this course regularly years ago. It used to be very nice. It needs a whole lot of TLC. Most of the fairways and greens are in disrepair.

The tee boxes are in poor shape, fairways are decent shape for the most part… allot of repair needed on many holes. Bunkers are in horrible shape, all dirt, like hard pan.. terrible! Greens are in good shape. It looks like holes were washed out from a rain storm… would not recommend!

The good first..

tough course,great layout, fairways and greens are in good shape

Pace of play excellent “no one there playing “

Price is good

The bad:

Range closed at 12:00 sold range balls at 11:45 with no mention of that when I bought them

Lots of maintenance going on

Standing water with no markings on several holes

No paper scorecards-“ not a deal breaker “

Tee boxes in bad shape

Sand traps are All completely unplayable

Saw cart girl on hole # 2 had enough ice for 2 cups

Never saw her again

All water stations empty

No coolers on cart so was a long hot day with nowhere to get water or drinks

Guy came by on hole 16 gave us 4 bottles of water

Nice but a bit late

A great course but needs a lot of attention

The price made it worthwhile not sure about going back

Tee boxes were terrible and sand traps are hard as a rock and need sand in them. Also, the group in front of us lied to the starter and used our name to tee off early. We showed up 7 minutes early to our tee time at 11:42am and gave our name and time. The starter said, someone just used your name and just teed off minutes ago. The group in front of us was a dad, mom, and two teenagers in two carts playing with only two sets of clubs. Isn’t everyone supposed to have their own clubs??? They were all sharing the clubs until their cart broke down at hole number 10. There was too long of a wait at each tee box and this should not have happened during a week day when it is less busy.

I had a Saturday morning round for the legends course and got there early to warm up but the range was “closed until further notice”. It looks like a great range but I guess their ball collector was broken. They have a chipping green with a sand trap and 2 very large putting greens, both in good condition.

We played the legends course and it has a great layout and design. Overall the course is in good shape but out of the 6 green side bunkers I ended up in (one of those days) 4 of them were rock hard. One hole on the back was shortened because they were redoing a bridge. No heads up from staff on that one until the cart alerts you.

Fairways and greens were in pretty good shape overall. The pace of play was pretty good until the 18th but a Marshall came around the 12th to check on pace.

The course plays all the way around the perimeter so no clubhouse break at the turn. We didn’t see the cart girl until 10 and she had already sold out of hotdogs but she restocked and came back around at the 14th.

Lastly, it was really windy which added to the challenge of the course. Most of the front nine, the wind is at your back but the majority of the back 9, you’re hitting into a strong head wind so club up.

It’s a good value and the course is a fun challenge. Stay out of the sand and have a good round. I’ll be back out there and probably going to try out the champions course next time.

Stuck on Hole 2 after 30 minutes still. Watched two groups leave by hole 6. Diabolical. My club bounced off the bunker. The bunkers for some reason didn’t have sand in it, they were all concrete

Legends layout is well designed and most enjoyable to play. Pace was a bit slow on a Saturday morning. I'd suggest playing during the week.

Greens were quite slow...which was unusual I was informed. Cheers
