Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon - Legends Course

First we were put into a team of four, but it was a father who is teaching his younger son to play, I loved it. We were about 17 minute pace behind. The Marshall came up to us and told us that we were 30 minutes behind and we needed to move quicker because there was three empty holes ahead of us. We let two different doubles go past us. As we hurried through the next hole, we had to wait for one of the doubles in front of us and there was nobody in back of us either. I was not happy how the Marshall handled this. It was great until then.

This course used to be really nice but it seems to be getting worse every week. The bunkers are raked clay. Its like hitting a shot off of a baseball infield. Your club bounces off the hard clay and makes you skull the ball almost every time. No ball washers at all anywhere when they used to be on the carts. The tee boxes are always bad. The porch parks on the tee boxes are never fixed and the ground is uneven. There are a few tee boxes where the ball is either below your feet or above it a couple inches because it looks like their is a body buried under the ground. The practice green flag sticks are all broken and don’t allow you to pull them balls out of the holes by picking up the flag.

It seems like a lot of small things that could be fixed pretty easily.

Still a decent course from the price and it’s nice to see a marshal a few times around to keep the pace of play up.

Have always wanted to play out here, got a really cheap deal so I made the drive out. Clubhouse was big and beautiful, practice facility was one of the best I have ever seen at a course, every thing was immaculate. The course conditions were above average. Everything other than the greens were very green and lush. Greens were below average, very marked very bumpy, and the bunkers were also very poor, no sand, some hard some flooded. The worst part and in my opinion why I would never recommend this course is the layout, absolutely terrible and unplayable. I am a longer hitter and had no reason to pull a club more than a 7 iron off any of the front 9 tee boxes. So many forced layups, tight bends, hidden tee shots and greens. The golf hole conditions were well worth the money but I would say save your time and your golf balls on the course design.

I had some friends come down from Nor. Cal. All were impressed with how well maintained the course was. We are planning to play again when they return later this year.

The greens were aerated earlier this week, but we weren’t told before we teed off. We probably would not have played if told before hand.

I played late in the afternoon and got a great price for a Saturday. The course is in excellent condition. Top 5 course in the area for sure.

Beautiful view with Flexible staff.. very well maintained course but they had a tournament at the Champions course. Played at the legend course. greens were bad condition. (I would say 2/5 greens ). Definitely I would go back for Champion course.

I played golf with my friends last Sunday. But the condition was very bad. The green did not manage too much, there was a lot of mold in the grass and I could not play golf.

Been playing this course from opening week so it will more then likely never be a 5 star course again. It is in playable condition alright but do not expect Palm Springs course conditions. Played with 3 real nice players today so we all had a good time...always recommend this course because it is fun (I'm talking Legends side here) as a 15 handicap there is enough par/birdie chances to make it a good round...would suggest you forget about the Champions side if your not a 12 or better because the back 9 can ruin your day real quick.

I got charged for two twosome at the same time, even though I told the gentleman behind the counter I only had 1 twosome .

Why is it do hard to get a hold of someone to reverse this or help me but yet so easy to get charged twice and take my money?

Always a friendly staff. Course is well maintained

Some signs of the water damage from Valentine's but didn't effect playability. First time on Legends ... Symetra Tour IOA Round 1 was happening on Champions....Good day all round.

My friend and I got on this course with a Golf Now Hot Deal $25 we played the Legends side it was very nice, greens were tough to read and couldn’t judge the speed. Perfect Weather when we played but could see afternoon winds would make it tough, staff was very pre-occupied with Ladies IOA event and didn’t really give much attention to other guests. Nice course and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains

We've played this course and the champions layout as well over the years. This is the worst I have seen it. Bunkers are as hard as rock, greens are overrun with poa annua, fairways were bumpy and spotty. Whoever digs the holes has no idea what they're doing as many were crooked and off center.

I saw hardly any workers out on the course except those who were trying to repair damage from the recent floods..I can only guess that they're too busy with that task to bother with routine maintenance.

Will not be back this year....hopefully when we return to S-Cal next year things will have improved.

Rode the Blues (6394/71.0/127) mid day with 24hourgolf using UP. 3H, 45M POP in overcast, breezy sometimes drizzling conditions in the 50's.

Schmidt/Curley design that has a good mixture of shorter. risk reward holes and longer holes. Overall this is a challenging layout that is a fun course to play. I slightly prefer Legends over the sister Champions layout. The large green complexes here are well designed with mounds, slopes and contours to challenge you whether you were on or off the greens.

The tees were mediocre. Most of the par 4/5 tees were okay and had good coverage. Most of the par 3 tees were not in good shape at all with large areas that had divots galore or were basically GUR where they were attempting to fix old divots.

The fairways were patchy, a mixture of thin/lush and there were alot of old divots.

The rough was mostly lush and thick. On the occasions when the ball settled down, it was whack a short iron out and get it back in play time.

The sand traps looked well manicured. However, the sand depth and quality was usually substandard. Most were more hard packed and had some rocks in them. That makes large, green side bunkers playing to firm quick greens almost impossible.

The poa annua greens did not look good at all, but putted much better than they looked. Firm and started out medium fast but had slowed to medium speed because of the drizzle later in the round. Too many ball marks to be considered good, even nice high irons rolled out.

This would be a very challenging course to walk, numerous tees were a hike from the last green. Not an overly tight layout, but you cannot miss most fairways here by much without bringing penalty strokes (lost ball bushes & native overgrowth) into play. The carts have nice GPS. The customer service was excellent from everyone, but no drink cart today. All grass range. Recommended if you get a deal, nice layout but currently in mediocre playing condition.

Windy day of golf but as always i enjoy playing Tukwet Canyon course plays more challenging during windy days, love to play here come what may...make adjustments accordingly..
