Talega Golf Club
About
Talega Golf Club is one of southern California's treasures, offering a challenging Fred Couples layout that sits above the "Spanish Village by the Sea." The course winds through canyons and valleys offering scenic views of the surrounding countryside throughout. The diverse layout will test your shot-making skills and there are also several interesting risk-reward opportunities including two reachable par 4s that will please long hitters. There is an abundance of bunkers coming into play, especially along the fairways, and golfers will be faced with the occasional blind shot. The greens are extremely quick and not a single one is flat. Nearly every green has multiple tiers. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. One of Talega's most memorable holes is the monstrous 13th. This par 5 requires a carry over not just one but two ravines.

Terrible rate of play.
Worst rate of play I have ever experienced! No one to help move things along. No beverage cart. T time was 12:40. And only made it to the 13th hole by 5. Could not finish before dark. Terrible experience
Talega Review
Thanks to the high price the course now charges the traffic was light. Conditions were an 8 out of 10 which I consider very good.
Talega
Tee box conditions and hole directory signs need improvements
Good course with poor amenities
No driving range without getting back in your car. No beverage cart. Otherwise a fine round.
Has a chance
Owners have a diamond here but they are neglecting it
This could be a great course
This course is on the brink of being really good or just another overpriced muni that looks good from the road. If the owner gets the right grounds crew this place has a chance to be great because the corse is challenging with a great layout. It's not worth 100 save your money go somewhere else but it could be. Hope the owner reads these reviews
Missing target
Lots of potential, poor execution. Dead rat next to PG was a wonderful way to start morning. Range not open on a Friday morning until late. Bunkers placed in great spots, but in poor condition. Price doesn’t match conditions and there should be an expectation for the price.
Nice layout
Challenging and pretty course. But people weeenr fixing their ball marks so greens a little rough
Staff friendly
Needs some TLC
The greens and most of the fairways were really good, but the rest of the course is beat up. Balls off the fairway were lost because of areas that are oergrown, which resulted in slower play for us and groups in front. For the $, I was a little disappointed.Also, some of the bunkers are in bad shape.
Power cart a must
Suggest a power cart as a long way between holes
Greens were soft so a lot of ball marks and many not fixed unfortunately
Good value
Fun round, but...
Challenging course. Greens were in great shape. Fairways were in good shape. Tee boxes were hit or miss. Biggest issue was grass growing in several fairway bunkers. Really? At a high end daily fee course? Also, the technology on the carts (yardage markers) were right out of 2008. Good thing for phone apps that show you the hole layout. The owner is clearly not investing in the course or the related amenities.
Disappointing Round
First time going to Talega, tee time was 9:44 am. Range was off site about 5 minutes down the road. Range is your average muni like conditions. Large bucket was $18 which is a shame for a championship style course that they convey. Tee times were backed up 10-15 minutes. Took 5 1/2 hours to complete the round. Fairways were decent some burned out. Greens rolling about 10.5 Bunkers in terrible shape. No beer cart. 3/10 overall
Nice trac
Course in good shape.
A little pricey for a Wednesday round.
Narrow, lots of hazards, tiny greens, long cart path
This is a very difficult and very long course...5 hours. The cart path is lo ger than the course poorly marked path easy to get lost, like a bad maze, more like a scary hay ride. Several 5+ minutes ride green to tee. Several 200 yard fly or die holes. No hole maps on cart or card. Barely visible flags. Lots of water, deep thick brush. Bring lots of balls and plan on 9-12 holes before you want to stomp out of there.
