Tijeras Creek Golf Club

Loved the course but expensive for an inland course.

Being this is my favorite course in O.C i was excited to play it again.

But at the time of this review Southern Cal has had lots of rain in the past month so

The course was soggy and wet which i expected but the greenery and scenery made up for it.

just note its Cart Path only so call the starter to confirm if they have lifted the rule.

the fairways are very nice but still wet, the rough is extremely high due to the rainfall so bring more balls than you normally do just in case. The greens are A+++ and in great shape.

FYI some holes might be backed up bc golfers might be looking for their balls in the rough so patience is key. i would play this course when the sun has dried the course out a little bit if you want favorable scoring. i would recommend bringing some type of rain pants as the mud will be on your calf area. If you have "range shoes, wear them.

the course is beautiful as the rain has made it much greener but wet.

i love this course and will def be back in drier conditions.

There had been a lot of rain a couple days before, but the course was just soaked. shots down the fairway and around the green were often times hitting out of puddles, and the grass in the fairways was way too long.

The course was cool and the set up was really solid, but the conditions made it less than desireable.

Good rate of play, overpriced food/drinks but as expected. Little disappointed it was cart path only. Course was in excellent shape. Teed off exactly at 1pm and our foursome was able to finish 17. The group ahead was teeing off on 18 in the dark with a group ahead of them on the green. Not bad considering we paid half as much as they did!

Very challenging but very nice course. Overall great condition and pace of play, would repeat.

Amazing course. Clubhouse staff is the worst in OC.

Tijeras Creek is a great course, with challenging layout and greens !

The coarse was under seasonal maintenance, over-seeding, green aeration, driving range closed and cart path only. I'm 63 with having had two back surgeries and can't handle the extra walking. They said I checked a box agreeing to those conditions, but I read over the web page booking online and didn't see all of that. I wondered why the price was so reasonable. I've played there many times and know that was much less than normal. I was in question as to why. It became obvious when I arrived.

Had we known the course was being aerated and overseeded we would not have booked. It was completely unplayable yesterday and we quit after 9 holes.

All courses are wet and the condition of grasses are the worst I've ever seen in any golf courses. rip-off price of $119. DO NOT GO THERE!!

I’ve played this course on every October for the past several years during my annual vacation to SoCal. This round on Oct 18 is the worst condition I’ve ever seen. The fairways is an absolute disaster with mixture of wet grass and dirt and the greens were soggy, lumpy and filled with pot marks. Worst is the maintenance workers do not give way to golfers. We had a mowers going around in circles in front of us while we’re trying to hit the ball. Mind you that this is t a low budget muni. This course charged over $100 for this pathetic condition and service. And their “dynamic pricing” (which seems to be normal for lot of courses these days) is just an exercise to charge whatever they want. I’m sure the management will throw out another canned and hollow response saying they’ll try harder, but seems like lip service as they’ve been saying that to other complainers for a very long time. If you are planning to play this course anytime soon, you’ve been warned.

The greens need attention. They were bumpy, bare spots, unrepaired divots, and simply were not in very good shape. Great and fun course and hopefully they can get the greens under control.

Total mud bath when I played a few weeks ago. No club service. Staff not very friendly. No cart girl. For $160 it’s the worst value course in OC. Avoid unless you want to waste your money rolling around in the mud.

Haven’t played here in a few years but recalled decent value based on course layout, rates, etc. Disappointed this time around to say the least. Course layout is still great but course conditions far from desired based on a Troon managed course. Greens inconsistent, fairways with a lot of hard pan… definitely not worth the current rates. Hopefully conditions will return with a little more time and tlc.

This was my first time playing the course, and I likely won't be back unless I hear of a significant improvement in the course condition. It's too bad, because the layout and scenery are really spectacular. But the fairways and tees are very spotty, and sometimes rather bare of grass. The greens and surrounding areas were so wet at times that my ball would plug (once actually into the green), and I was constantly cleaning mud off my ball. I'm hoping the management and maintenance folks get their act together and dramatically improve the condition. I'd love to play there again if I hear of a turnaround.
