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.

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

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.

Course condition is terrible

The greens were great, rolled true but needed to be read correctly. Created a challenge. The holes are challenging with many doglegs and blind shots along with bunkers in the middle of the fairways that you need to navigate around. However the fairways were in terrible shape. Dead grass in many areas, uneven and very bumpy, as if it hadn’t been mowed in a long time. The bunkers were pure raked mud, there wasn’t a grain of sand in any of the bunkers. A number of bunkers had water setting in them which would have made them unplayable.

I would hope that the Morongo Indian Tribe would want to keep this golf course in immaculate condition but I guess they don’t care about it.

Have played here before. Course In Poor poor shape. Very dry and lots of dirt fairway to hit off. Owners should do better. Also we're on hole 4 short par 3. Workers just got done working sand trap area. Left without raking trap left lots of footprints. Hole was in front of trap so players had good chance to end up in trap. Not good workers

Solid course

The course was in pretty good condition. Bunkers are not great...no sand and tons of rocks. Greens were in pretty good shape for end of July.

Course conditions

Improve the bunkers. One hole had growing grass/weeds in most if not all bunkers. Loosen all bunkers in lieu of hard packed dirt.

Good Layout

The Legends is just a good layout for the middle handicapper (Not Champions) course is in summer shape, still really green. Rough is a bit long and very sticky and hitting rough makes course a LOT longer. Fairway bunkers are in terrible shape, may want to bring a weed puller with you it you tend to land in them. (owners would be wish to bull doze down mounds and bring in sod and make fairway bunkers grass bunkers something most public courses should consider) For us the course is just a fun layout and we can accept most conditions. Maybe a little too pricey for current shape but so are most courses now.
