Talega Golf Club

Good course & variety of holes

Nice greens / Tee boxes could be a bit better

course was in great shape, pace of play was 4 hours, greens rolling fast and true. great value for the money. just wish the driving range was on site

First time played little expensive but you want quality you have to pay. was not disappointed couple's courses always tricky and definitely challenging. will definitely return. course conditions very good little dry in some areas but overall better than most out there. Greens. bunkers and fairways good only remotely negative is tee boxes not the best. you have to play few times to understand target lines and yardages needing to score well.

7:30am tee time, but the driving range doesn’t open until 9am, not sure why that is a thing. Also, the driving range is not on the course so be prepared ahead of time if you are teeing off after 9am.

Carts have an old school range display, super nostalgic, but not very useful.

Greens were a little rough and the tee boxes seemed to be an after thought for the maintenance crew. Most of the time it seemed like we were teeing in a flat piece of grass that was maybe cut once a month?

Was super stoked to play such a recommended course, the layout is great and the views are nice, however, I was really disappointed in the overall conditions of the course given the price point. I rather play three rounds at San Clemente, San Juan, or even Newport Beach as compared to one round here.

Great course to challenge all golfers.

I would bring someone here to learn.

Bring extra balls. The weather in July and the views of this course is worth the price.

Overall great experience. But surprised to find out there was no beverage cart on the course. Fortunately I bought a Gatorade from the snack shack prior to round and joked about a cart girl. The guy there said, oh, we don't have one today. He said it isn't busy enough. Just an FYI... when you check in and pay, they should inform you THEN so you can stock up on beverages and ice as it was high 80's, close to 90 degrees when the sun came out. And the cooler on the carts was empty. No ice in there. They really should inform golfers of this when we pay so you can prep your cart and beverages PRIOR to the round. Not when you are already dehydrated at the turn.

We love coming to Telega. Out of all the public courses in the area, it has the best quality course conditions and variety of holes around (for the money). The pro shop is decent, as is the driving range. There are bunkers and cabbage, and water hazards everywhere, so it’s easy to lose a few balls (plan accordingly). The staff is always friendly and the Marshall makes his way around the course to check-in on people. It’s our go-to course whenever we want to play 18 nearby. Now, for some cons:

The snack bar at the turn is really slow if you’re trying to get a bite, so don’t stop in there thinking you can get a hot dog in 20 seconds and you’re back to the cart.

The pace of play can be much quicker than you want it to be. I say this because we have sometimes had people behind us constantly hitting into us on the fairways and greens due to the multiple blind tee boxes where people are hitting over obstructed-view fairways, not realizing you’re still in their ball path. It can make for a very rushed experience where you aren’t taking your time to think about your swing and it causes a lot of stress and shanked balls. The last time we played there, it felt like the group behind us was breathing down our neck the entire time, trying to rush us off the course. We had balls landing around us while we were trying to swing our next shot.

Conditions were ok for a public course. We started at 6:50 am , they were watering fairways, hit , go to shot they would turn off sprinklers, wet and some mud. On the first three greens a man was watering and was oblivious to us trying to go to green . On the first par 3 , the worker left his cart in front of the green and was working on it. The second 9 had les workers and was more enjoyable.

Don’t play too early

5 hours and 15 minutes to play a round of

golf. Overpriced for what you’re getting
