Great layout but they just over seeded.

One of the best layouts I’ve played in a while. I would really like to play when the fairways are better maintained. I don’t recommend playing this course in November but I would play it any other time.

Cart path only

Greens punched recently, cart path only, was a waste of $116. If I would have known before walking up to starter I wouldn’t have played there today.

As Expected...

The course is re-seeding so the fairways were WETwetWET... the greens were bumpy.

I'm playing golf on a Friday morning... what do I have to complain about??

The staff is awesome. The Starter, check-in, snack bar, restaurant staff were all fantastic.

The food is super good and the drinks are excellent.

Again... I'm playing golf on a Friday morning in OC.

Life is, indeed, good.

Over priced and fairway bad

They jacked up the price due to high demand during pandemic. This is no more than $85 course, but they were charging double of that. Friendly staffs, but fairway was full of dirt spots.

$182 is too expensive

The greens aren’t well kept. It’s a rip-off when you can play Edgewood in Tahoe for $225.

Overall staff was friendly and have a great driving range.

Sorry, but you must take better care of your course.

Tijeras Creek--BachelorParty Group

I can not say enough great things about the course, staff and amenities. My interaction from the online scheduling to the friendly attitudes of the staff made the day and event memoriable. My son and his wedding groomsmen all could not stop talking after the 18th hole and shared with me the entire round and how beautiful and challenging it was. I would highly recoomend this course to everyone, unless it gets too popular and then I can't get the times I want--sort of selfish of me , I know.

Not impressed at all

The prime time rate for this course should be considered highway robbery. Fairways and greens weren’t maintained whatsoever.

Pro shop and outdoor services were rude as well.

Great Day for Golf

When I booked my round I noticed that there were several notices about their COVID-19 protocols and that was a definite factor in booking with Tijeras Creek.

Upon my arrival, I could see that they were taking COVID very seriously and that put me at ease, immediately.

There were multiple signs reminding people that masks were required at all time and to maintain 6-feet of distance from one another. The check-in was easy, fast and safe... no touch from start to finish.

The starter asked that we don't linger until about 10 minutes prior to our tee time... at which time, they lined up our individual carts - one, per person - and, again, reminded us to keep our distance, don't touch the pin to wear our mask at the turn and whenever we were around the club-house.

The course is in perfect condition. The weather was great. I got grouped with a few guys that had know one another for 30+ years, who golfed together on a regular basis... but they immediately made me feel like one of the group.

The price of $185 is steep... but, I'm golfing on a perfect Sunday afternoon in South OC... what should I expect?

Perfect day... Thank you Tijeras Creek.
