Immaculate condition right now

Course is immaculate right now. Greens have a tendency to get beat up and people arent the best about fixing divots. My only issue with it. Will be back multiple times

In amazing condition

The course is perfect right now. The greens are firm and challenging. Front and back 9 are totally different which is fun. Would definitely play again.

Orange County Gem

Fantastic layout that is playable for all skill levels, with five different tee boxes from black tees all the way to the reds. The course is in excellent shape, and the greens are outstanding. Great par threes and you have to manage your game from the Teebox for the better players. You’ll hit anywhere from four iron, utility club or driver depending on the golf hole. I highly recommend this course for players of all skill level. I’ll definitely be back to this great golf course.

Smh

Horrible course.

Greens were fast or slow, no in between. Punched and over grown. Idk how that’s possible.

Fairways were so patchy and soaked it felt like we were walking on marsh, or was it the rough? We couldn’t tell where the fairways began and the roughs ended.

Sand traps were firmer than the fairways.

Just bad all around, $130 tee time but felt like a $30 course.

Needed advance warning (before setting tee time) for conditions

Unfortunately, the course conditions were very bad due to seasonal work. I had an importanrt guest in from out of town and wanted to make it a special memory. Sadly, had I known in advance of the conditions, we would have gone elsewhere as Tijeras has always been good. The discount was appreciated but the conditions were pretty bad making for an embarrasing sitiation.

Aerated greens

The greens had been aerated 10 days ago and there was nothing posted during booking. They also overwatered some of the fairways, which made them muddy. Other than that the layout is nice.

very bad

There are small holes and sand on every green. There are so many foliage on the course that it’s hard to find the ball. Very bad

Has Potential- Terrible Shape

The front 9 is nothing special, wide fairways with some target golf. The conditions were that of a $50 muni. Diseased greens, hacked up uneven tee boxes, I don't know how many types of grass, crab grass, and bald spots.

Back 9 is more picturesque, good layout. Several short 4 pars though are a bit silly and conditions improved to above average. Superintendent should be embarrassed.
