Talega Golf Club

Talega is a fine course in general. The layout is a bit funky between the front and back 9's, as the front is par 35 with (3) par 3s.

2 things stood out for me this round: first, the pace of play is too slow. We were waiting on every tee box for what seemed like 5 minutes with a 824a tee time. Never saw a Marshal once to check on where the bottleneck was.

Second were the pace of the greens. I'm assuming they were punched recently but although there wasn't any sand on the greens, they were bumpy and very slow.

Talega.....i have played here about 15 times in the last 3 seasons. I do enjoy the course specifically the greens are always in great conditions and the course is very playable. However, the amenities and service are lacking. First, the range being offsite is extremely inconvenient. Second, there hasn't been a cart girl or any beverage service on the course for the last 2 seasons. So the only way to hydrate is at the clubhouse. There are no drinking fountains on the course either. When it is the summer this is absolutely ridiculous. Last, the food/bar, there isn't a bar for one and the only food is like concession food. Overall the course is solid but everything else lacks. DO BETTER.

Had a 12:30 p.m. tee time for a Sunday. It ended up being a hot deal for about $70, which is significantly less than their regular rates, which I've seen anywhere between $120 all the way up to $170!

If you are the kind of person who is used to having a beverage cart going around during your round, Don't count on it. There's a halfway point right after the ninth hole where you can stock up before your round or halfway through your round. I've never been the kind of person to use the beverage cart so I don't ding them for that.

The course itself is very nice but also demanding with plenty of opportunities to lose your ball if you can't hit it relatively straight. It combines forced carries, elevation changes, well-placed bunkers, and greens that have become quicker in recent months. It also has its share of forced carries that every tee box must deal with to get to the green on multiple holes.

In preparation for the round, the driving range is about a mile away from the club house and also has a short game area. Near the club house, there is a good-sized putting green to get a feel fir the greens for the round ahead.

Overall, if you have the money or get a good deal, this course is a great experience!

No golf course experience. Felt like a ghost town. Seemed empty. No club ambiance. Front nine is nice but back nine is just too hard for the average golfer and slows down pace of play. Lots

Of shrubs and canyons that need to be better maintained. Fences are falling down.

We had a great time, the course layout is good, there are some challenging holes, take snacks and drinks with you because there doesn't appear to be a refreshment cart driving around. All around a good experience and we'll be playing there again.

They punched the greens and did NOT disclose it anywhere on their website or during booking. Course is not in great shape. Fairways are very dry and there are tons of dead spots/flooded spots.

They had just punched their greens, so that wasn't great, but they weren't TOO bumpy all things considered. A couple tee boxes were a little wonky, and a few bunkers were quite hard packed, with one even having standing water/mud in it. But overall fairways and rough was in good shape. Great weather and nice challenging layout, esp. the back 9 with a couple holes having "blind" shots.

Play this course many times, yesterday, a course in great shape. The pace was good (4.5 hours). Wish bar opened longer as weather was so hot, we need cold drinks

No water bottles. No Ice, No Towels, no Bag Drop. Food takes 15 minutes on the turn, no sandwiches made ?

This is Nuts. Talega use to be the best ! Now there are men in T Shirts putting and playing golf, women smoking on the food patio too.

Employees don't care. No carts to drive to the driving range, they claim they dont have enough carts !!

STAY AWAY !! New ownership needed.

This place is living like it’s still going through Covid. Terrible service overpriced snacks no curbside backdrop out of carts couldn’t drive down to the range in a golf cart. We weren’t allowed to because they’re out of golf carts. This place has just been running into the ground. Terrible terrible service. They won’t even give you ice for your cooler and towel. Service ended five years ago.

Told me the course was closed and wouldn’t allow us to play but never provided me a refund. We were in California for the week from Michigan. Jerks.

I was in the first groups out in the fairways and greens are looking great. Of course, managers are putting a lot of effort into making sure that the course is in great shape for this season and it looks good already. The greens were rolling true and got faster as the dew burned off. Great course with rolling hills. Also had a great breakfast burrito at the turn.

Course fairways were in rough condition. Slow play not monitored. Over priced for facilities. Driving range is a mile away and rough rough. Cart locked up on path then cycled power and next died completely. Cycled batteries and got in to run until they brought another one out 15 minutes later. Not a. Not on our reply list.

Booked a 1:20 PM teatime. Got through 12 holes in 3 1/2 hours. Six groups traffic jam at every tea box. Not a Marshall in sight. I like to play this course, but we left after 13 holes because of the slow pace of play.
