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.

Great course, but..
Took off 1/2 point for p. o. p. of 5:15 on a Thursday with several marshalls visible on the course. Took off another 1/2 point for multi grass-type, inconsistent height rough and chipping areas. Guessing game. Everything else good. Greens good, speed very consistent. Will keep playing here if can get decent price. Prob most interesting course in Orange County.
Nice course for my first time playing here
Overall, a challenging and great course. This was my first time playing here, so I did not know what to expect.
Pace of play (this day) was phenomenal. I was playing with one other player and the pace was great. No pressure, which made it enjoyable.
Not worth the money you paying
I tee off on time but slow because the players in front of us super slow and I already mention to the Marshall and nothing was done. My golf cart stop moving on the second hole at the tee time box. The golf cart sensor displaying that my golf cart is on restricted area and yet my cart is on cart path. I try reverse it then when I try forward again and still showing that I am on restricted area ..got frustrated with it and call club house for assistant and basically end up i playing around and reset the golf cart underneath the seat. And the I end up have to rust to catch up with the rest of my group. Fairway has too much weed and mix verity grasses. Tee box poor condition and need to be trim down. Too much divots holes on the green.
Fun course
I usually play this course only when I get a hot deal. It’s really worth the value. I’d say it’s in really good shape . It doesn’t get too hot as well which is nice. I think the only downside is there isn’t a real range. It’s just a virtual range to warm up but if you can hit your ball straighten short, it’s a really fun course, but it is challenging if you hit really far.
Challenging course
It really is a fun challenging course. It gets really hard when the wind picks up as well. Because there’s a lot of terrain, which makes it fun and challenging. There are a couple really nice holes where you get a beautiful view and you have to hit over little gullies. It’s not expensive for the Aria but generally speaking it’s a little pricey so if you can get a hot deal, it’s definitely worth it.
Great layout and beautiful
Very fun and challenging layout. Lots of tee options for most skill levels. Fairways were in good shape, greens were in good shape and very soft. Only thing that could have been a lot better were the tee boxes. Tough to find a good spot to hit from on the majority of holes. Other than that, everything was in great shape. Views are beautiful
Mow the Tee Boxes!!
For the money, this course should be MUCH better maintained. The tee boxes are long, sloping and have 3 inch high grass. Brown spots and greens full of fungus and NO ONE fixes pitch marks! (I fixed 5-6 on every one.) you should pay me, or fire your Greenskeeper.
Awesome course
Challenging but fun. Great views. Conditions were really good. Greens were a tough read. Probably a new favorite course. Off course service and amenities were just ok. Very pricey for non premium services. I’m there to golf so I don’t really care. Can’t wait to play there again but I’ll be on the lookout for a good rate
Course should be a 5 star
Weeds in bunkers, tee boxes were terrible and pace of play was slow. How do you wait on every hole and tee off at 9:45am? Saw personel driving around but it never picked up. Course layout is fun and could be a 5 star course.
Challenging enough but still forgiving
Fun course, enough trouble to make you think twice but forgiving.
Slow pace of play
The tee times are stacked up against each other so much that I had to wait about 5 minutes or more between EVERY SINGLE shot. Completely packed and excruciatingly slow pace of play. While the course conditions are nice, I would rather go to a worse course to avoid this miserable pace of play again.
Great track
Very nice course. If you can get the Hot Deal for under $100 even better. Will definitely be back.
Great Pace of Play
The pace of play was excellent. The back nine plays tough but it was nice to have time to figure it out!
