Journey at Pechanga was built on the ancestral land of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. The land is also home to "The Great Oak," one of the largest natural growing, indigenous coastal, live oak trees in the U.S. It is estimated to be anywhere from 850 to 1,500 years old. The golf course was carefully carved from the rolling hills that stretch Pechanga Creek to the surrounding mountains. Great care was taken in creating the course in order to preserve the beautiful land that has been home to the Pechanga Tribe for countless generations. Mature California oaks frame most of the holes and the dramatic elevations provide breathtaking views of Temecula Valley. The challenging layout will reward accurate shot-making but will punish any errant shots.

The adventure at The Journey at Pechanga

this golf course is appropriately named as it is an awesome adventure to journey through the mountainside golf course located right behind the Pechanga Casino in Temecula... both back and front 9's have very cool holes with very elevated tees hitting to picturesque fairways and greens way down below you... any criticisms I might have are minimal and not worth noting... they have spent a lot of money to create and maintain this beautiful golf course and although it will likely be very difficult for beginning and struggling golfers, I think it's an experience most everyone should try at least once... the staff I came into contact with my phone and in-person we're both friendly and helpful and I'm looking forward to my next opportunity to play here again.

Elevation change is UNBELIEVABLE!

Course and clubhouse are beautiful, love those wood bridges, and golf cart has adequate power to climb those hilly cart paths. Staffs and even security guards are friendly and polite. Short game area is great. Greens are challenging and need some good work to make par with 2 putts. Overall, it is a good golf outing except a bit too windy.

Challenging to say the least

The wind was gusting to 35 - 40, seemed like the wind was in you face on 90 % of the holes, but all said it is a beautiful course.

Golf with friends

We went out to play at 1:30pm. It was a little breezy, but the conditions were excellent. Pace of play got a little slow on the back nine. we did however finish in 4 and a half hours.

Close to perfect

Some of the fairways areas were unplayable. But they were clearly mark.ed . A. Marshall or two would help with pace of play.

The staff was great and the practice facility was phenomenal.

Great course and first review

This is a treat. It's a tough course. I'm a 13 and found the whites more than challenging enough. Putting is tricky. Our foursome of mid-handicappers didn't make anything all day. If you're a single digit, then you can play from the tees further back.

Great condition

Course is in top shape, fast greens, beautiful fairways and pristine tee boxes. Pace of play was fantastic and didn't see anyone behind us or in front of us the entire round. Definitely going back. Also recommend becoming a TCI member at the course next door to get the discounted rate of $85 green fees. Definitely playing again soon

Went out of our way to try this place

Very professional setup. Superior practice area. All anyone needs.. Most of the course was fun. A couple of goofy holes, hard to figure for first time players. Greens were good. Fairways were the week point. But overall I will return.

Gorgeous course

Pace of play is generally slow mostly due to the popularity, difficulty and steeper slopes on some holes. This is one of the most beautiful courses you’ll ever play. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. Conditions are immaculate. A bit pricey but worth it on occasion.

Person working the cash register in the Pro Shop was grumpy and very short with his answers. The rest of the staff was very nice!

Enjoyed it!

Enjoyable and challenging design which will make you think. Greens were fast, also sometimes difficult to read. Stunning views from several points on the course.

Terrific layout, with beautiful views.

Difficult course but very enjoyable to play. Had a 12:30 t-time on a day that was supposed to be Rainy and Windy. There was wind but didn't really affect my overall play as I guessed the effect right on most every hole and played the right iron, hitting most of the greens in regulation. The rain also only effected 2 of my last 3 holes but I came prepared with rainwear and that too was not a real issue. Due to being a single and other circumstances, played the back nine 1st. The greens were to have been aerated on the 15th but were very close to being 100% only 10 days later. The fairway turf too had been aerated but still very playable. As stated earlier I had a very enjoyable round of golf and am axious to play again. All the staff that I dealt with were friendly, welcoming and my only complaint was that everything was closed up before I finished, not letting me freshen up before going home.
