Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon - Champions Course
About
Situated amongst the foothills of the San Gorgonio and San Jacinto Mountains, Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon boasts 36 holes of scenic championship golf. The two courses, the Champions and the Legends, are some of the area's most popular. The older Champions Course is host to the PGA Tour Q-School and it is a Nationwide Tour Qualifier. It is such a popular tournament location that it is known as the "home of the Southern California PGA." The Champions is a challenging but playable layout with tight fairways and numerous steep-lipped bunkers strategically placed throughout. There is also thick, treacherous rough that will swallow any errant shots. Also included in your tee time is unlimited use of the practice facilities, which include an all-grass driving range as well as chipping and putting greens.

Morongo Champions Photo submitted by Bogey9 on 10/15/2012
Too tough
I assume windy conditions are the norm but this factor combined with green severities made it impossible to not 3 putt consistently. Very well maintained but severity took some fun out of a nice day
Course in rough shape.
Course is not worth what they charge to pay.
Tee boxes and fairways are in rough shape
compared to other courses I’ve played. Staff was not that friendly.
Pace of play is horrible.
Pace of play was horrible. Took me 5 hours and 20 mins. Bunkers were not maintained at all. Just hard ground.
Poor pace management
Tee time was 1:01 I got to the starter at 12:58 and he let 3, 4 man groups jump ahead of me before I got there. I didn’t get to the first tee box until 1:30pm they played slow and no one told them they were behind pace. I didn’t even get to the 14th tee before sun down. So it was not worth the money.
What Happened?
The Champions course was recommended to me a few years ago with rave reviews. Finally got to play and was soooooo disappointed. Condition of tees, some fairways, rough, and structures like bridges and creek beds was not good at all. Pace of play was terrible. Waited almost ever tee shot and approach shot. Over 5 hours to play a course in good condition I could take, but this was brutal. Don't come here if you want to enjoy a fun round of golf on a beautifully manicured course.
Course condition
The course was in poor condition. The tee boxes were poor and the traps were unplayable. 10 years ago the course was in great shape and has a very interesting layout
Poor course conditions
I would not recommend this course for several reasons. The fairways are in poor conditions with many bare spots and inconsistent growth lengths of grass. The bunkers are in terrible shape. All were filled with at least 6 inches of water from recent rain, so their drainage is terrible. For $75, this is a very poor choice.
Excellent course
First time playing This course and absolutely loved it. The course is beautiful and well kept. We felt rushed. Had a slow group in front of us in a group behind us that was trying to rush us. Even ended up hitting a guy in our group in the foot with one of their drives. Picked up their ball and threw it into the water. Other than that, had a great experience at this course. Staff was very friendly.
Restaurant and Bar
Morongo Golf Club boasts on their Website the following.
There's also a great dining facility, open every day for breakfast and lunch until 4 p.m. There are plenty of big screens to watch your favorite sports teams as you enjoy a menu of appetizers, entrees, draft beers and cocktails.
It's only open Friday thru Sunday. The rest of the time its closed and caters to the Tribe nightly. There would be plenty of business for the Restaurant and the Bar to STAY open, I don't know why they won't open it for the Golfing community throughout the week. They need to re-open the facilities to the public, we would love to go there weekly for dinner and a drink.
Could use some work
For the amount they charged to course was in poor shape, lots of brown thick grass.
Greens could have used some work but were in better shape, that the rest
Layout has some awesome holes
Play was way too slow by stacking tee times to close. Paid for 18 holes and could only play 9 holes starting at 2pm. It took 3 hrs to play 9 holes and I couldn't get into a rhythm of play. No marshall on the course to keep up the pace of play
