Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon - Champions Course

Pretty typical day at the Morongo Championship course. Tee boxes were in good shape, the fairways were excellent and the rough was very high.

The greens however were cut so close that holding a shot on the green was near impossible, unless you were able to hit an upslope.

Seems to me that they could leave a little grass on the greens, but for the most part, they were muddy and sparse.

A final note, my GPS on the cart did not work on the front nine , so I took the cart back to have it replaced, and the new cart GPS did not work either.

Kind of a bummer that a nice course like this would have such faulty equipment.

course was in good shape.pace of plasy good. good day

Much better than in recent years. Greens good, fairways great, bunkers not very playable since they are dirt bunkers and we're wet with many having standing water.

Enjoyed the round. The layout and views around the course are well worth it.

Rode the Blues (6348/71.3/130) with 24hourgolf in 4H early morning using UP. Calm, overcast and chilly made for a long course. Matched up with Sebastian and Diego, 7th and 5th graders respectively. Coming from a family of golf professionals, they both had beautiful swings. The 5th grader had not hit his growth spurt yet and played the red tees. I honestly would have thought the 7th grader was a college golfer just watching from afar. He was consistently 275 in the middle with a killer short game and shot a -2 70 from the Blues?!?!?!

Schmidy/Curley design that is a solid, challenging layout. Not an overly tight layout, but you cannot miss most fairways here by much without bringing penalty strokes (lost ball bushes & native overgrowth) into play. A couple of risk/reward par 4's that longer hitters can have a go at the green.

The tees were at best okay. Most of the par 4/5 tees had good coverage and were decent. Most of the par 3 tees were in mediocre to poor condition with lots of divots.

The fairways were patchy with good coverage, about 50/50 thin/lush.

The rough was lush, thick and penal, especially when wet early in the round.

The sand traps were well raked. However, damp and hard packed with inconsistent depths is challenging to play out of on hard/fast greens.

The large green complexes were nicely designed with mounds, slopes and contours to challenge you whether you were on or off the greens. The poa annua greens were quick. Medium fast to fast speed and firm. Slightly better condition overall than the Legends greens IMO.

This would be a very challenging course to walk, numerous tees were a hike from the last green. The carts have nice GPS. All grass range is a plus. The customer service was excellent from everyone, no drink cart today. Recommended if you get a deal, but I would not pay rack rate for these conditions.

This course makes you hit your shots. Fun to play! Greens are fast. bunkers are rocky and deep. I’m happy to call this course my home course.

This is a great course for the money. The only real issues here are some really bad tee boxes that have you standing above or below your ball and the bunkers. They're not real sand, just raked dirt. You never know if they're going to be rock hard or soft. A lot of them have standing water in them that is enough to lose a ball in.

It was so cold. Difficult to enjoy the course but conditions were on the wet side. Layout interesting. Greens in good conditions. Would return on a warmer day.

On a cold windy morning, we played 18 holes here in 31/2 hours.

Great greens,

Tee decks need work

Course layout beautiful

Wish I could have played better, but I will be back. Love the layout.

Very wide fairways, with no annoying homes to give you any reason not to bring out the Big Dog...every single par 4 and 5. Don’t go in the bunkers as they reminded me of bomb craters. Deep and nasty. Greens rolled fast and true, with some big swings. Overall a fun course. Not the courses fault, but sadly we played behind a Cactus Tour event and these young ladies were painfully slow... 6 hour round. Those ladies are going to have to figure out how to play quicker if they ever make the LPGA.

Greens were fantastic and FAST! Fairways were good with a few spots but not every hole. Great layout. But all that means nothing when the round takes 5 1/2 hours. Was behind a tournament but didnt know anything about that until we got to the first tee. Ridiculous.

The golf course had a challenging but fair layout and we finished our round in 4:10 minutes. Staff was friendly and food was excellent! We will be back!

Nice course for the price we payed.. $33 on golfnow. Some really interesting holes..! First time we played, so next time would be much better to learn the ,"lay" of the course. Would play again.
