Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon - Legends Course
About
Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon offers two 18-hole championship courses, the Legends and the Champions. Nestled in the foothills of the San Gorgoncio and San Jacinto Mountains, both courses have a scenic landscape that offers stunning views. The Legends Course is the newer of the two but it provides just as challenging a game as the Champions, which is a PGA Tour favorite. The Legends twists and turns through the winding elevations, demanding accuracy throughout. Like its sister golf course, there are numerous steep-lipped bunkers treacherously placed along the greensides. The rough is also tall, thick, and unforgiving. The tricky par-3 fourth hole is played from the highest point on the property. From the tee, the canyon seems more intimidating but the wildly sloped green is where the challenge begins.

good player
Always the same when playing a public course. Had to fix over 20 of the players in my group divots, ball marks on greens, rake bunkers. For some reason typical green fee players have no concern for the golf course., don' t even look for ball marks etc. Granted the bunkers at this course are terrible , mostly mud, rocks, poor sand.
Pace of play was kind of slow. Some Tee Boxes need maintenance
The course condition is relatively good, except some tee boxes really need maintenance. Some of them were not flat, barely has grass on it. The most annoying thing to me is there was a 4some 2 group in front of us playing at least one to one and a half hole behind. Unfortunately i didnt see any marshal out there trying to correct the pace. it ended up one of a single in my group left at hole 14 because of the slow pace. And the 3some in front of us left at hole 15, also because of the group in front of them was way too slow. We finished 18 holes in little over 5 hours.
General
It was bad this past Thurs, even worse on Sunday; our 4-some won't be going back any time soon. FAIRWAYS cut too high. ROUGH was ridiculous. GREENS mowed too high, and TEE BOXES pitiful.
Course Conditions
- fairways mowed high; ragged & muddy in places
- roughs unevenly mowed
- greens mowed too high
- many greenside bunkers ragged/unkept
- general decline in total course conditions from two
weeks prior!
Great course for the money in really good condition
General
No marshall; 3-some in front were beginners w/ no sense of pace of play or golf etiquette. Greens way too high & slow; not a fun day on this course.
Weeds and Debris
Pathetic. What was one of the best 36 hole public facilities in SoCal has been reduced to a neglected shell of its former self. Uncaring shop staff. Weeds everywhere. Walkways and steps full of debris, unswept in weeks.
I hope the present tribe owners sell it off ; new ownership needed.
Far from what it used to be….
This course used to be so nice. Now it’s not worth $40 for a round. I’d say $30 due to the awful conditions from the tee to fairway. The greens were okay but everything else needs serious work. If Prop 27 passes I can imagine conditions will worsen.
Disappointing and complete waste of money
I understand there was a ton of rain but this course was unplayable. The back nine was cart path only and the fairway wasn’t mowed. The fairway was basically the rough. It was so backed up that we couldn’t even finish the back 9.
We had a 1020 tee time and caught up to the 9:09 tee time on the tee box. None of this was disclosed till after we purchased the round. Usually a great and challenging course but the communication was lacking and I won’t play here again.
Poor course conditions
The fairway grass was almost as long as the rough. The greens were in good shape. Tee boxes were chewed up and uneven.
Nice Layout
We hit the Legends side about once every other month...both of us are 16 handicap so Champions back nine is out of the question for us....course has hit end of summer doldrums and fairways are really showing the stress..greens are OK, My only complaint is the sand traps have been bad for over a year now.....it is becoming very noticeable that the Indians that own the course have lost interest and must be running a real tight budget on course maintenance. Just wish they had the interest the tribe that owns Eagle Falls out in Indio have in their course.
Most overhyped course
Very slow play. Usually tournaments going on. Staff just going through motions. Pace is horrible here, one of worst in South California.
Always a good time
The course is an overall fair shape for summer. There are many dry spots, the greens are rolling at about a nine and tea boxes are in fair to good shape. Staff is friendly and helpful. The cost of replay was $35 at time of this review which is a bit high.
