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.

Challenging

Brisk and windy day that made a challenging course that much harder. I like the course quite a bit, winds through the canyons. A lot of risk / reward holes where you have to make a choice. First 6 holes was rocking, wind at the back, in general elevation downhill, and easier holes, sitting at 1 over. Then spun around against the wind and uphill and the wheels cane off a bit. At the turn has another 4 holes into the 2 club wind. Greens roll true, but you could call them Nell Carter greens... gimme a break, I misread most puts, they all seemed to break the opposite way I thought. If you miss the hole it would often roll out quite a bit leaving a challenging putt to avoid the 3 putt. Sand traps has some sand but very firm, many were legit pull out and drop due to poor conditions, a lot of cool bunkers, if these had good sand this place would be top shelf. Overall a real good course. Wound be helpful to play to a few times to know where to leave yourself and have a better idea if the breaks In the greens. Staff was good and the breakfast burrito was tasty and massive (not sure how you can eat the whole thing without taking a nap mid round ). Played from Blues. Generally high 80’s/ low 90’s.

Excellent experience from the beginning to the end. Be prepared to take lots of strokes around and on the greens as they are fast firm and undulating. Extremely well bunkered too with deep traps.

Unfortunately very windy

Nice October day, great Hot deal price for 10AM 35 bucks.

Some spotty bare patches but overall good condition. Fast Greens!

We were a twosome behind several foursomes so play was slow still less then 5 hours.

Unfortunately a very Windy day...tough course to play in windy conditions.

Nice Courses - But the Sand Traps Have No Sand

Both the Legends and Champions courses are great layouts. The greens and fairways of both courses are above average. But the dirt traps are awful - you can't call them sand traps because they have no sand. The lack of sand makes greenside bunker shots nearly impossible. Digging up the dirt was better than nothing, but it still isn't a sand trap without sand.

Very good layout, in a beautiful setting!

Very nice course in good condition, excellent greens! The big problem was pace of play, 5 HOURS!!!! 4th hole had a four group backup! Called pro shop and was on hold for 20 minuets while waiting for the tee to clear. Made a nice day pretty frustrating. Will definitely not play again on the weekend.

Thanks for the Memories

It truly saddens me that I cannot honestly give this course a favorable review. My son played many of his Jr. Golf tournaments here 10 years ago and my family has many fond memories. However, the course and maybe the entire environment is of different condition and feel these days. No sand in ANY bunker, but water in most?! Ragged fairways. Overall, it simply looks like a business that isn’t doing as much business as it did 10 years ago. But thanks for the memories.

A Steady Slide Downhill

I wish I could say some good things about this course. I do love the layouts of both courses. But these courses are gradually going downhill - in almost every area. First, the sand traps (especially green side bunkers) are not sand traps. They are rock hard dirt traps. There hasn't been sand in most of these bunkers for YEARS! Second, the condition of the fairways is average to poor. Many areas of uneven grass. I had several lies in the rough that were better than my fairway lies. Third, the tees are getting more uneven and beat up every year - no upkeep has been done on the tees for decades (since the course opened). And finally the greens... If it weren't for the dozens of un-repaired and improperly repaired ball marks on every green, the greens would be in pretty good shape. Golf courses need maintenance! The courses themselves - not just the club house and the bar/restaurant. Please at least do something with the dirt traps (they are not bunkers)! Add sand maybe? Or actually dig up the dirt - for at least 2 inches. Not just the silly 1/2 inch on top - so that it LOOKS like there is sand (but there isn't). Spend some $ on these courses.
