This course has great ocean views!

We enjoyed our game at Terranea. It was a perfect day, although just a little wind against us. The ocean views make it worthwhile!

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Wish we lived closer!

First impression

Beautiful. 8:15 tee time and done by 9:20. Not sure how to answer that “off course amenities” question, but since there’s no driving range I didn’t mark it “excellent”. The putting and chipping practice areas are excellent though!

Awesome Views

You are paying for the views. The greens were average at best. Fringe was great and most bunkers were in great shape. It's worth playing for visitors, but it would not be my weekly course.

Nice but overpriced

The course is in good shape overall, particularly the greens. The tee boxes need some TLC as they're either bare or look like shag carpeting.

For the rack rate of $80, Terranea is egregiously overpriced for nine holes. If you get a hot deal through Golf Pass, then it's worth the money.

Hard packed around greens

Somewhat spread out layout with poor directions between holes. Several holes without tee markers. Ground around greens hard pack with early holes with mostly dirt bunkers. Greens very slow and several with unrepaired hallmarks .

Most greens surrounded with challenging front bunkers making for challenging approach. Overpriced except for ordeal
