Legends

Rode the Greens (6815/72.4/125) in less than 3H twilight on a prepaid GolfNow deal for $4.48 (with $10 off coupon) including cart. Low 100's, clear with a little breeze wasn't too bad.

Tees were all over the place. Some lush, some had bare spots and some were in between. All were level + playable.

Fairways okay, definitely not lush. Firm made for lots of roll, but you could get poor lies in the fairways.

Rough mostly lush and just high enough to grab your club.

Sand traps had decent sand and were nicely maintained. Could definitely use churning, they were hard just beneath the surface in spite having a decent amount of sand.

Humpbacked Bermuda greens were medium speed until you got over the hump... then it was good luck stopping the ball. Areas around the greens are mostly mowed down Bermuda, so many options on different shots available.

No GPS on the carts, they could definitely use more distance markers. No drink cart but they do have a nice grill onsite. Customer service was excellent, quick check in and good to go.

Older, tight track that I do not really care for, but the price was definitely right. Some fun holes and since my expectations were low, they were met. Would not recommend unless you got a real deal however.

Fair layout and good value

We arrived a bit early as we did not know location being our first visit. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Guess it was a slow day because of the heat. We played 18 in 2.5 hours. We were provided ice since no water on course. Enjoyed the day and would definitely go back.

Course has really gone downhill

Fairways in terrible condition. Only, one groundskeeper actually halted work while we hit or putted. Cart guys to busy talking to help with anything. I played this course every year I visit except last year due to Covid. It has really suffered in the interim.

Enjoyed local course

It was a very warm day 111 degrees. Came prepared with lots of water, course writes up indicates no water available.

Played Legends course for the first time. Nice wandering through neighborhoods. Most holes right in front of you. With the weather hot the greens were a little crispy. Greens rolled true and quick.

Plenty of bunkers that I ended up in. Nice to mention rakes we’re handy and enough sand in the bunkers to be fair.

Fairways were beautiful. Green and lush.

Check in and return of carts could not have been easier. I was able to get a few hints from the gentleman in the cart barn. Friendly and helpful. Felt welcomed to the course. Got me going in the right direction.

Overall a great day on the course.

Summertime vibes

Clean well taken care of course. Plenty of open fairways as well as a couple more narrow fairways to challenge the more experienced. Fun course, we had a great time.

Wide open older course.

Played. Feels more like a municipal course and the price was on par with much nicer courses. Ok at $30 but at $52 this was not as expected.

Tahquitz Legend Course

I've played this course at least 40 times over the past 30 years. But the issue this time was WATER. There was NONE on the golf course and it was 105 degrees. Really not acceptable.

Worth 20 bucks on GN for sure.

Greens are good. Fairways need a little tlc in areas. T boxes need to be moved on some holes. Its a good course to work out your kinks.
