Talega Golf Club

As an occasional visitor to SoCal I try to ferret out good deals on quality courses, hidden gems if you will. That's a tall order in the Orange County realm. Talega was ok, greens were very nice and rolling sweetly, fairways desperately needed attention but to be fair they've received quite a bit of rain here in the last several weeks so the grounds crews have been at a disadvantage. The staff here are very welcoming and accommodating so that was much appreciated. Sadly, this course as it sits today is not a $100+ course, more like $60-70. But, to quote their past governor...it's Cal-ee-fornia, where goods and services are in line with the wages...high. Nice place to visit but as a native Floridian I'm looking forward to my home turf.

Had a Christmas Ever tee time at 11am with awesome weather and hardly anyone on the course. Finished just shy of 3 1/2 hours with the course in great condition.

Although this course is one of my go-to courses, the increase in pricing has caused me to shy away from playing Talega as often and could find similar courses in the area that are priced lower; but if you are in a position where you have some extra cash to spend, this is an excellent option!

1.) The par 5 over the trees that starts on the opposite side of the cart path caused me and my buddy to upset the group ahead of us when we teed off but I feel like that shows how slow the play was.

2.) They don’t have ball cleaners

Other than those two things, I’d be a member here the course was so well maintained and fun to play!

Great course for the money. Would recommend to anyone who wants to play a challenging and fun course with a unique layout. Definitely playing again

Beautiful course, I enjoyed playing here. A few call outs that would improve this course.

- Implement a cart girl. They do not have one so be prepared ahead of time or wait until the back nine for a drink or snack at the grill.

- For $150.00 green fee I would expect a ball cleaner on each hole, they are scarce on this course.

- It would be nice to also have a screen GPS on each cart for the price 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

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.

Tee box conditions and hole directory signs need improvements

No driving range without getting back in your car. No beverage cart. Otherwise a fine round.

Owners have a diamond here but they are neglecting it

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

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.

Challenging and pretty course. But people weeenr fixing their ball marks so greens a little rough

Staff friendly
