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.

Interesting course, but slow pace of play
Interesting and challenging course.
Group of 5 in front of us who partied all course long and delayed us by an hour - course Marshall didn’t do anything about it (consequently we missed the last 2 holes due to darkness).
Restrooms closed, no ice, no bag drop, no beverage service.

Challenging course.
A few holes that you really need some course knowledge. Course in great shape. But the hitting range is offsite and you need to drive your car there. Yes, drive your car. No golf cart access.
