Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon - Legends Course

My son and I played the Legends. He is a 14, and I am 20+. I was once an 11. Former member of Industry Hills for 15 years. The course layout is very interesting, fun, and challenging. But the course conditions are poor. Traps don't drain and have grass growing inside them. Very little sand in traps. Way too many soft spots in fairways and around greens. We had several perfect shots plug in center of fairways. Rough is too high for the average golfer. Good shots were lost in rough very close to the fairway. Greens are fun and fair. They were the best quality of this course. We have played the Champions course and found it to be basically the same as this criticism of Legends.

The course has a challenging layout and awesome bent grass greens. It was a cool and windy day but after a couple holes you descend in elevation and are protected from the winds. The rough is thick and you can easily lose your ball, so keep an eye on it. The cart barn personnel said they hadn’t mowed it recently due to the overseeding. The bunkers have compacted soil and rocks, so avoid. Some of the tee boxes aren’t very level and have depressions in them. The fairways are in great shape, overall. First time playing and very impressed with the layout and greens. Will definitely be back! We were a foursome and had singles and twosomes behind us. We let some groups play through and were trying not to hold anyone up, but balls going into the rough slowed us down.

I love both courses, but on either one, carts wont let you get close enough to the greens even with the cart set on handicap. I think you would get a lot more play from golfers who have leg problems if you had a cart setting that allowed a little closer access to the greens.

Legends is in excellent condition. The fairways are too soft and wet but lush and green. Mens Club Wednesday so the pace of play was slow for a five hour round. Greens are in great shape. All in all it was a great day.

Awful slow play, course maintenance is shoddy at best. Sand traps full of rocks, lots of grass growing in sand traps.. No Marshall’s on course, pathetic…

It was hot, but there was a breeze. We did not see anyone in front of us or behind us until the 17th hole. It was a great day of golf.

The Legends is in the best shape I have seen it in years. The greens were perfect and fairways were all in good shape. The bunkers and tee boxes were fair to good. It’s a really fun track.
