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 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!
Great Layout - Poor Condition for Price
Always love the layout of this course, but for price of green fees you’d expect them to take better care of the course. Too good of a location and too good of a layout to take such poor care of the course. Tee boxes were overgrown, greens looked healthy, but very bumpy, fairways were decent. Use the money you’re charging people to take better care of your course!
Fireworks Round
Had a great time playing here for the first time.
Playtime was good 4.5 hours short wait on some par 3’s.
Greens were in great shape. Only request would be for them to have beverage cart out there.
Great Course
Good balance of fun but challenging layout. Course was in very good condition and the pace of play was perfect.
Not even close to being worth the money
I played here at three or four times and every time I’m so disappointed and I definitely am not coming back anymore. I only play it because it’s close to my son’s house. But the staff are not friendly, for a course that you pay $160 for there’s no one there to take your bag. There’s no help at all, the pace of play is terrible, the course is not in great shape and it’s just not worth the money
Rip -Off Round
I have played municipal courses that were in better condition. All the grass was miserable, the course needs major investment or it will eventually close. The bones of the course were good, but the condition was absolutely atrocious. This dog track is not worth more than $50 to play a round.
Amazing Course
This was my first time playing Talega but wont be my last. The course was in great condition, especially the greens. We played from the whites as it was our first time playing so it was fairly easy, but if you want a challenge, the tips were almost 7,000 yards. My only complaint is there is no beverage cart and the bar was not open (only for brunch on weekends). I highly recommend!
Overrated overpriced
I’ve played this course 50x and seems to be getting worse not better these days, yet charging 160.00 for a mediocre course.
Fairways, Greens look hideous. Poorly maintained and poorly respected by players. Every hole had dozens of divots and bunkers are not raked.
Disappointing for sure.
Fathers Day round
The course is enjoyable to play. Difficult but not penal. The greens and fairways were in great shape. Some of the tee boxes were uneven and had patches of dirt. Overall, my boys and I like playing there. We will return for sure.
Nice layout but course could use some maintenancd
I always enjoy the challenge of Talega, but it could use some maintenance. Fairways and rough is a 6/10 at best. Greens are in very good shape and other than a few bumps due to golfers not fixing their ball marks, they are very good.
