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.

Five Hour Round on a Monday

Greens were in good condition, fairways and tee boxes were ok. Morongo bunkers are decomposed granite full of rocks and stones. Other than the bunkers it’s in pretty good shape. The pace of play was terrible at 5+ hours on a 11:10 AM tee time on a MONDAY

Poor management, poor customer relations

When we started the round at 09:36 the course accidentally had all golf carts restricted to cart path only, in spite of the absence of frost or freezing conditions. It took several unsuccessful attempts for management to correct this.Which caused the course to become extremely backed. Additionally, someone had tampered with the coax cables on my cart, so it never successfully reset when the finally got the cart path only problem fixed. After 8 holes and 3 hours, I had had enough. Spoke with the clubhouse who offered a prepaid credit for the following Friday. I looked on golf now this morning 3 March, and found several singles tee times being offered for the pricing of last Friday. Since there was a 70% chance of rain and a 100% chance of cold weather, I requested they change my prepaid time to one of those available slots. They outright refused! It would have cost them nothing, slots were available. I used to play this course regularly. It will be a long time before I play it again!!

Can't fade winds that strong.

We drove an hour to get there and realized that the 30+ mph winds were going to make the round too cold and too difficult. Paying $140 for a miserable day wasn't a bright move we decided so we packed our bags back up and found somewhere else to play.

Very poorly maintained apart from the greens

I chose this because of its PGA links. But that must have been years ago. The course is imaginative with some striking holes but also some weird blind shots. However it has been allowed to deteriorate badly. I drove from Palm Springs for a change of scene but it was definitely not worth the drive.

The fairways are patchy and bare in places. The bunkers are a joke, rough, full of stones and rock hard.

If they spent some money this could be a fun track. To be fair, the greens putted well.

Great looks off the tee boxes, very poorly maintained bunkers

This course had a nice layout, with good and varied challenges off the tees. It looked like the bunkers were well designed, but were not maintained at all. Rocks and dirt were most frequently what we found in the traps. Not fun or fair.

Overall okay. Pace of play socks. Course is in dire need of care. Construction of homes has very much lessened the appeal to play at this course.

Great Course

It was very windy but the course is so interesting that it kinda makes up for it. Would love to come back on a calmer day to see if I can improve my score.

Frost delays

I’ve played here the last two sundays and there has been a 60 min frost delay. Yesterday I had a tee time of 6:30 and didnt tee off until almost 8:30. Should have been the second ones out but the starter let the men’s league go in front of us, four foursomes when we were just a twosome! That really ticked me off so I’m taking my money somewhere else for the next few months!!

Not what it used to be

I’ve played this course many times in the past and has always thought it is a great layout and for the most part it has always been kept up very well. However, yesterday playing the course my opinion has changed 180°. With all the construction going around the course and the building of the new homes many parts of the course are completely tore up and almost unplayable. I would definitely wait until all of the building is done in the area before I try the course again.
