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.

Fun course
I've played here many times but this time it was not in good shape.
The course is challenging but fair. It was in very good shape, tee to green. The carts are nice and have GPS with descriptions of where to hit, distances to bunkers and hazards. Will definitely play again soon.
Good course
Good course for the money, they really need to walk on the tea boxes as it feels like first coat instead of the tea box. Unfortunately, no cart girl available While I was playing, would benefit from it.
Tee boxes
They are too lazy to mow the tee box. When you tee up your driver the grass it up to the ball. Forget about the par 3’s. The management is lazy and it shows in the quality of the course management. Way overpriced for what should be a basic requirement. Mow the tee boxes
Quite Expensive
Tee boxes were overgrown to the point that you could not see the markers and the markers were faded as well. It was very diffcult to see where to hit off the tee box. There is a driving range off site that doesn't open til 9am, so if you want to warm up before your round, forget it. Do it at home. The course has many different types of grass growing in the fairway, which causes lumps and bumps in the fairway that stop or kick your ball around. Greens were tough and sand traps had sand. Overall the price is too much for the condition of the clubhouse and the course.
Poor landscaping
None of the tee boxes are mowed and even if you tee it up it is like hitting out of a second cut. Especially the par 3's. It is pure laziness and I would not recommend playing here. It is over priced
Always a great time
Great course, but some cranky locals who are in a hurry, but that's fine.
Course is always in great condition, and pace of play was awesome.
A few blind holes on this mountain course
Not too far from San Diego. Great green condition. Some holes are blind shots. So better to have a GPS map device handy. Will come to play again.
Nice course- $$$$
Nice course, club house under construction, no driving range adjacent the course. Not worth $150.
Not having access to the driving range once you arrive is a definate bummer.
Some Gimmicky Holes
Staff was excellent. Putting green was excellent. Had to go offsite for range, practice bunker, and chipping green, which need some TLC. Course is in good shape. It is tight in some places and a couple of ridiculous holes. For example, long par 5 with creek running through tee shot landing area. No way are you getting there in two. Another par 5 can’t see the fairway, which is blocked by brush. All you can see is a marker essentially where you should aim. Don’t need to play here again.
Need Marshall’s prowling
5-plus hour round unacceptable. No marshal seen on day of play.
Greens excellent! Fringes around greens need work. Patchy fairways.
Very friendly staff.
Not as good as when it first opened but still a very nice track. Especially the back 9.
