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.

Terrific design, strong challenge, good shape, great value.

Having just played this course for the first time a week ago, I was pleasantly surprised. Course is very challenging (136 slope from the blues - and there are blacks too!), real good shape, terrific design with a variety of holes and great value. You are treated like a member by the staff. And the 19th hole with views of a few holes is as good as it gets.

The course is in great condition. Facilities are very nice

The course is currently semi-private. A new owner wants to take it back to private in the next 18 months. This is a"should not miss" course while you can still play it. After substantial work on the greens and fairways, the course is coming back and will be outstanding in a few months.

Tremendous value

We enjoyed the course very much. It's a traditional parkland style course, well maintained and offering a good challenge of golf. The pro shop staff wasn't overly accommodating although not to the extent of being rude. The value for our dollar was first rate.
If you get a chance to play, go for it! You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful course with unacceptable pace of play and no marshals

This is one if my favorite courses. I was so excited to find a tee time since I have not played here so long. There were no starters, they were out of carts, it took 2:45 to finish 9 holes, and could not finish the round that we started at 12 pm.
The marshal was no where to be found. I realize they had a tournament earlier, but why post a t time that u can't handle. Never again.

Gorgeous and challenging course

We played this course around 12:10 on a Thursday afternoon. It was absolute pristine condition. Unfortunately, it was cart path only which made for long walks to and from the cart. Several of the greens had difficult undulations, but for the most part ran very true. They were not as fast as I thought it would be. There are a few forced carries off the tee, but the most challenging part is the forced carries on the approaches. Some will keep you wondering if you should lay up or not.

Free ranges balls and a practice bunker definitely make this course worth the money. The restroom facility is also very nice with full showers.

Very challenging but very fair. Great shape

This is an awesome course and always one of our favorites. It's everything a course should be. Every hole is different and challenging in a different way. Always in great shape. Love to spend time on the patio afterwards with a cold one watching players come in on 18-great food too

Great track, every hole is different and very challenging from the tips. The conditions are good but not like it used to be the first 3 years.

This course is one of the BEST in San Diego County and I hope they can get it back to pristine conditions.

Great course at a good value

This course is set way back in the Fallbrook hills and has a terrific layout. There are plenty of elevation changes, doglegs and hazards, but the course is a fair test of golf. The condition of hte course, now that is another matter. I played the course three times; each round was about a month apart; the first green, and several of the other greens, were a MESS for the entire three months; the fairways were OK, but that's it.

This course is beautiful and well maintained!

We lived in the community for 5 years before trying the golf course, but now that we've golfed on it more than a dozen times, we love it! As many courses as we've been on over the past 10 years, this is one of our favorites. We've become spoiled because it's a well kept secret and we'd love for it to stay that way, but we know others will eventually experience what we have... a great golf course!

This course is really nice but was undergoing maintenance at the time.

The pro shop staff seemed a bit snobby and not very friendly, but the clubhouse is well maintained and the cart staff was nice. The snack shop also closed fairly early so there was no food available.

Multiple tees with lots of variety. Challenging and fun.

We played course following maintenance of greens and fairways so greens were a little bumpy and lift,clean and place was played. We still enjoyed a great golf course. Range was closed as was snack bar at the turn. Was able to get a soda at the bar from a very nice staff. Wanted an after round drink but bar was closed. Cart path only gave us a workout as the paths all seem to be above the fairways. I do think range being closed and cart path only should be advertised on site when making reservations. Can't wait to play it again!

Great layout-maintenance in progress

Great and challenging track. They were punching tees when we played and getting ready to punch the greens so we did not get to play it in the best of conditions. However, I have played it many times before and always enjoy it. One of the best courses available to the public.

The Golf Club of California Early October review

The first green has some damage from recent disease and the fairways were being aerated the day we played out in front of my group which made us have to remove the plugs in order to get a clean lie in the fairway. The rest of the greens were in great shape and rolled very true and when we passed the aerator the fairways were in great shape too.

Overall a tough golf course with some really nicely designed holes. Good deal for the price we paid through golf now.
