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.

First Time Playing

Excellent course for the money!

Went here with a group of 4 players. It was our first time here, and it was a great experience. The practice facility was great, carts were well maintained with GPS and Bluetooth, staff was friendly, and the course was in excellent condition. We played the Legends course, and it was challenging, but not overly tough. Greens are perfect…minus the occasional lazy player that doesn’t repair their ball marks. We will definitely be back again.

Great layout… bunkers need work.

The course was in good shape, and the layout is great. However, there isn’t any sand in the bunkers, and it felt like we were hitting out of cement.

Dirt Bunkers

I have enjoyed playing here over the last 20 years. I am hoping it is a maintenance issue but today, I was really disappointed by the bunkers on the Legends course. No real sand and they looked like raked, clumpy dirt. A good number of bunkers were not draining and they were mini lakes. Any ball in a greenside bunker was a guaranteed penalty shot because it's pretty difficult to clear a 10 foot lip off hard packed dirt and get it close or control spin. I will not play here again in this condition.

They overbook the tee times and then ran out of range balls by 2:00. How pathetic is that. Most people like to warm up and hit a few balls before they start their round. Not here apparently. Should have kept driving out to the desert and played a much better course with range balls. I will be from now on. Somebody needs to manage this better imo.

Bunkers are dry mud no sand.

Played it two weeks ago and yesterday grains were punched probably a month ago. Large deep bunkers in front of most greens.

Pace of Play

Three hours on the front nine and the back was even slower. Quit after twelve holes. It had already taken over a hour to play three holes. Friday’s are normally slow but this was crazy.

Course conditions

Inconsistent is the term I’d use to describe the Legends course. They wee great three wks ago; not so much now; very slow greens, wet/soggy fairways, and inconsistently mowed rough.

Overall the course was in great shape. Scoring was not difficult. The only negative was when playing the Legends course there is not a turn to pick drinks or food. A little wired.
