Situated just outside of Temecula, the Golf Club of California enjoys a scenic landscape provided by the rolling hills north of San Diego. The terrain is ideal for a round of golf, offering verdant acres of countryside blanketed with mature oaks, sycamores, and towering eucalyptus trees and accented with redtop grasses, which border the carefully manicured fairways and greens. Although there is an abundance of trees, the course still has many wide-open areas. The pristine white sand bunkers and colorful wildflowers are a beautiful contrast to the lush green of the course. The layout is not particularly long, but golfers should be prepared for a challenging round of target golf. The course features narrows fairways, plenty of elevation changes, and tricky greens that require an accurate approach. There are also a few meandering creeks that come into play.

Great morning

Had a 6am tee time. Got to the course around 530 and the guys were setting up. Stater offered me a cart and I went solo around 545. Played in 2 hrs 20 mins. Been a couple of years since I last played this course and it was better than I remember. The course conditions are great. Tee boxes, fairways and greens. Greens are a little slow but not from poor quality. I feel this course is a fair course, what you see is what you get. Although I didn’t play the best it was probably one of the most enjoyable rounds I have had in a while. Will be heading back real soon.

Thanks GCOC.

Beautiful

The course is a shot makers course, It can bite you but is fair.

Beautiful location and very pleasing to the eye.

Greens well maintained but a little slow for me.

The staff is very friendly and polite.

I drove from Santee , 40 miles but worth it fo a nice change.

Open for play

I have played here a few time. Course is always in good shape. First time back since Covid 19. Had to walk. Started at 610AM Finished at 1015 AM with my 4some.

Always a good trek. They had a few pull carts to rent but $15 not cool.

Hopefully carts get to be used soon.

Nice course/terrible customer service

I bought my tee time with the assumption that I was going to be getting a golf cart since it clearly said when I bought my round that the golf cart was included... I pay for my round and go out to get a golf cart and they tell me that the carts are only for seniors and disability people. My tee time was at 3:40 so without a golf cart I was not going to be able to get 18 holes in. I didn’t even make it to the back 9... if I had known that the carts were going to be off limits I would not of played at that time.

Good Course

The course is in pretty good shape. The fairways are extremely tight. it looks like it's dormant grass. The greens were in good shape.

Tight lies and fast fairways!

Course is in great shape (As always) but with the fairways going dormant for the winter, they roll forever! That would be great, except many of the fairways severely slope towards trouble, and even a well struck shot can end up where you don't want to be. You have to account for this or you'll get very frustrated.

Greens and fairly receptive, but a little on the slow side.

Fun layout, and definitely a challenge.

Great Customer Service

Fantastic service by this golf course. Unbelievably, GolfNow cancelled my tee time, as I was driving to the golf course, roughly 40-50 minutes before my tee time, even though I booked it about a week ahead of time. Even though they had a tournament scheduled, the golf course was able to sneak us off the back nine and matched my golfnow rate. Horrible service by GolfNow, great service by the golf course.

Course conditions are great. This is one of my favorite Inland Empire courses. Challenging and beautiful, and some very unique holes.

Fairways need work

I enjoyed this course I played with a couple from Toronto Canada. We played the combination tees of blue/white. It was an enjoyable round of golf. The greens and bunkers were nice. Fairways lies were very tight. It is definitely frustrating to hit a good drive in the middle of the fairway and then have to play off a very tight lie with grass extremely short if there is grass at all. I got a great deal on the cost so I was very pleased with that. We discussed how San Diego County golf courses are losing the ability to keep up their courses due to the rising costs of water/maintenance. It is tough to keep course tee times affordable for the average golfer and keep courses maintained. It seems if you want to play nicely maintained course you have to play a high price.
