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.

Great conditions for November

This is a top course and the conditions were surprisingly excellent for November.

Great scenery.

Recommended for golfers not for hackers.

Typical Fall Golf

Be aware that the course is VERY wet. Carts on fairways will leave tire tracks. There was standing water in several bunkers.

The group in front of us (regular members who were very familiar with the course) was very slow. We chose to cut our round short and having passed them to head in, found that they were 4 to five holes behind the group in front of them. Marshals need to move them along.

Great course, golf cart shut-ff annoying

Beautiful layout, challenging but fair. Golf cart shut off when you approach greens unrealistic. My cart on some holes shut down 60 yards out and if you leave cart path toward the rough it also shuts down. Best solution: signs to indicate "Proceed no farther in this direction or cart will shut down".

Course conditions where horrid.

I've been wanting to play this course for quite some time now, unfortunately I was badly let down when I did. Where to start, First the staff were excellent, friendly and helpful when ever they could be, the reason for the low overall ranking is strictly the course conditions. Way too much water being used to the point of cart tire marks throughout the course, i mean deep trenches where the carts were spinning their wheels. the Tee boxes were basically all sand, really torn up. the fairways like i mentioned were covered with trenches from the carts, the greens were some of the absolute worst I have played on in the last 6 months. They were covered with ball marks from people not fixing their chip in shots. The greens were too wet which caused the ball to plug terribly. There was so much water that the grass was actually turning yellow from too much. The layout was average, nothing spectacular, my wife likes to take pictures but she didn't even snap any pictures of the course which tells me allot. The carts went into a degraded status when you started to approach the green, many of the holes this was 100 yards plus away from the green which was a bit of an overkill in my opinion. Overall I feel i wasted money on this course and at only $32 which is very reasonable that should tell you something. Will I be playing this course again, No I will not be playing it again. If I were the owners of the course I would be looking for a new Head Grounds Keeper.

Hot, but great day in the desert.

The course was in great condition, and the surrounding scenery was unreal. The cart is nice and the tablet GPS system in the cart is awesome. There was no delay in play, but that is likely because I was the only crazy one playing golf in the desert in the middle of the day in mid July. The course workers were friendly and respectful to me playing, but I am not easily distracted by noise. I would play here again or perhaps their other course, The Champions, next time.

Gone downhill

Haven't played here in a few months but have always been used to it being in great condition even tho there is a drought. Was expecting the same but got a huge shock. Fairways were awful in a lot of places-nothing basically but dirt. Alot of the edges of the fairways were dirt or dead grass as well. Had a lot of bad lies as a result. Tee boxes were okay-greens were in very good condition. Not very crowded on a Sat morning-I'm sure course conditions have a lot to do with it. Felt like a muni-not worth $55 green fee

Pretty Fun course

Nice facility, friendly & helpful staff, great pro-shop, Course (Legends course) was fun, albeit a bit repetitive at times! I played from the "Black Tees" approx. 6800 yds. Fairly challenging (quite a few very long par 4's) Helps to play with someone who knows the layout! Tees were good, fairways were pretty bad in some of the common target areas, bunkers were good and lots of them! GREENS were awesome, consistent and semi fast! Some of the best greens I've played in years! Cart girls were not around enough! FYI #1 This course does not return to clubhouse at the turn and the 10th tee "Halfway House" is closed often)...!! FYI #2 STAY ON THE FAIRWAY!! The rough is very thick in many areas! Lost balls and wrist injurys are waiting in the rough! Compliments to the "Marshals / Starter" Very Helpful!! =) FYI #3 Good tap beer selection!

Now that I've played it, knowing where to hit the ball will help maybe 3 shots a side! Looking forward to returning SOON!

Awesome Course

Morongo Legends course is absolutely amazing. No houses on the entire layout...but trust me, you can still hit plenty of hazards and OBs! Great layout! If your handicap is single digits play from black tees. Love the clubhouse and GPS on golf cart is always a plus!

For the price of excellent course. Very difficult and requires lots of golf course management. Course conditions could have been better and I'm sure they are in peak season.

This course never fails always in great shape and fun to play. The staff very professional and welcoming. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to have a great experience but then the course would become over crowded. Go play the Legends.

Rough way too rough

Played the legends and, while the course is great, the rough was ridiculous. If you hit your ball in the rough, don't expect to find it! There are a couple of spots where ground maintenance is taking place, but other than that and the rough, I love this course.

Challenging course

A strategically designed course that pressures you into thinking and making good creative shots. As I found out the hard way, stay on the fairways or pay the price of extra strokes.

The rough is tough going and the bunkers are also deep and not a piece of cake.

Did not fare well the first time here and learnt from my mistakes. Looking forward to playing here a next time and will carefully select my clubs and my shots each and every hole.

It could be great if they did upkeep on it

Its a great course but they dont do any upkeep on it the putting greens were terrible all divited up the ruff was impossible to hit out of and thats if you could even find your ball in the first place i ended up not even finishing the rest of the holes the condition of the course was terrible and i would never go back or recommend this course to anyone its a waste of money!!! If they actually took care of the condition of the course then i would go back and recommend it but not until then... They are lucky i didnt demand a refund
