The Golf Club of California
About
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.

Loved the course - challenging yet unique for every hole and the view of the surrounding landscape was appealing from every hole.
Loved the course - challenging yet unique for every hole, and the view of the surrounding landscape was appealing from every hole. Compliments to the grounds keeper - from tee to green course was immaculate. Special thanks to John - my "guide" around the course which made for a very enjoyable afternoon.
A hidden gem.
From the starter to the cart girl and the helpful woman in the snack bar their customer service was lights out! If you've never played this hidden gem, do yourself a favor and go play!
The RoadRunners were active and a lot of fun to watch.
Well maintained great layout
We could not have felt more welcome. Staff were very friendly, the clubhouse is beautiful. The course is very well maintained and it is a challenging but not to long layout. First time playing this course I would definitely play it again.
Great Price for excellent course
First time I played the Golf Club of California. I went through Golf Now, and feel I got a great deal. Beautiful course! Fairway and greens were in excellent shape. I'll definitely go back!
Well Maintained, challenging course
Fun course, a few tough holes out there but great layout. Not that close if you are coming from San Diego but worth the drive for the price and conditions.
Great Course but Extremely Slow with bikers at wedding making loud noise
I've played here couple of times this year and I always love the course and the way it is maintained. However this time the pace was more than slow and it took us over 5 hours to finish. On top of that while we were on back 9, we heard extremely loud engine noise as if jets were passing by or a big explosion nearby not once but several times. it turned out that bikers were attending the wedding and multiple bikes were making the sound.
Overall it a great course I recommend to my friends but it looks that we were not fortunate in terms of timing this time.
Nice Track!
Made the drive out to play this course not expecting much, ended up playing a very nice course, greens were great, as well as the rest of the course. Great value for the money. Will go back before we head home. Very scenic
Best Golf Course in San Diego County.
Came earlier off my tee time but staff move us right away. Fairway and greens are pristine. Views are breathtaking. Club house is beautiful.
Our private club
My wife and I play on Mondays. We play it forward because we are both in our 60's and enjoy a more relaxed rhythm. Being at the GCC on Mondays is like owning our own private course. We are never pushed and seldom held up although we play at a quick pace (3.5 hrs). The course is in excellent shape allowing for the plugging and upkeep that must always go on. Bunkers are playable, fairways well groomed, greens 8 of 10 and receptive, tee boxes offer a wide range of difficulties. Some work over the years on the rough has made the course easier which we appreciate. I'm sure the members do also. It is a player friendly beautiful park like setting at a fair price. Make it as tough as you like or as easy as you need.
Nice course
Great lay out. Well maintained and low traffic. What else could you ask for.
A great experience!
The most enjoyable - and the fastest - round we've had in quite some time. A beautiful setting and a course which is not punishing, but makes you pay for mistakes. A hidden gem.
Great Design - Just a Little Dry
What a secret in Fallbrook. The course is pretty tough with many left-to-right holes. It is just under 6800 yards from the combo blue/black tees.
Greens are in good shape and pretty fast. Pace of play for a Saturday was under 4 hours. Only complaint - poor cart girl service but that was OK considering the courses challenge.
Take note if you play these combo tees; the par 3's are very tough and long. #18 is over a body of water with no bail-out area and plays 233.
I think a must play and a much better experience and value in north San Diego versus Pala Mesa.
This course is fun and challenging
The course was in great shape! The greens were good, maybe a bit on the slow side but not bad at all. The staff was very friendly and the accommodations are first rate.
Awesome, challenging from the black tees
Excellent course, very challenging from black tees. The course is in excellent condition. We didn't see a soul on the course. Played in 3 hrs
Well worth it, wonderful experience.
A beautiful and challenging course. Conditions real good for this time of year. Pace of play good. We played Sunday at 1:50pm. $38 per player, great rate. Bar closed by 5 pm, snack bar at 2pm. They lost money!
Course is in good shape. Clubhouse is very nice-
#7 is fun...no chipping on that green!!! Course is challenging enough and bunkers are in good shape...I should know I hit into them enough- Lots of lateral hazards so not too many OB shots. Semi private club and no GPS available. I'm not complaining, only letting you know! It doesn't matter at my level anyway, haha-
Great course
The only negative thing I have to say about the course is that they do not provide water anywhere out on the course. And it can get pretty hot in Falbrook during the summer time. So make sure you bring your own. But overall great course. I will definitely play it again. Just a heads up, if playing for the first time, the front nine is definitely a bit more difficult to navigate then the back. Enjoy.
Great Views
The number 1 green was in very bad shape and almost unplayable. The rest of the course was in good shape and very enjoyable to play.
North County Gem
Challenging course in great shape. On most par 4's &5's green is not visible from tee. Large undulating greens. Plenty of trouble if you can't keep it straight.
