Rating 70.1

Tucked away in the hills of San Juan Capistrano, San Juan Golf Course is situated midway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Its location is conveniently close to Legoland, Disneyland, the San Diego Zoo, and miles of sandy beaches. The championship golf course underwent a major renovation of its fairways and greens, making them some of the best in south Orange County. The layout consists of a diverse array of holes that range in length from short to long and some are hilly while others are flatter. Being a public golf course and having a versatile layout, San Juan G.C. is a popular place for tournaments and events. At either end of the course there are practice facilities as well. On the west side you'll find a putting green and sand bunker as well as a chipping area, and on the other end you'll find a grass driving range.

Nice course at a reasonable rate.

Nice course mixed with some challenging holes. The green fee was reasonable..club rental was more expensive than the green fee.

Great Value

MY wife and I played here for the first time. We had heard good things about the course from friends and decided to take a look. We were not disappointed. The layout, while not terribly long, was a nice challenge, made tougher by afternoon winds kicking up. Next time around it will be better knowing where to hit the ball. The greens were very soft and there were footprints all over them, making it hard to make putts. The rest of the course was in good shape for a Muni in So Cal. We will return over and over again.

Good course to try!

A good course to try although you better be careful of the speed of the greens! Smooth greens but firm and 13 speed!

Course Layout

The course is challenging. The Greens are in good shape and play true. Must hit the ball straight or you can get into trouble on many different holes. Greens are big enough so it places a premium on your chipping ability.

Great price

The course was as expected, very good. The greens were punched a couple of weeks ago and they were still very bumpy so we made them two puts automatic. I like this course. It seems like it's always the best weather and the staff is super friendly.

It's not a 4 star

Compared to talega it is a 3 star at best. Greens were good. Fairways were chunky. Played from back tees found par fours were very similar to each other. Felt like I played the same hole over and over again. I would pay 40$ for a weekend round and feel good about it.

Great Value

Greens was still punched maybe another 3 weeks to be in good condition. They should had mentioned it at the site. The person at the front mentioned that we were at 4 th up but nobody was at the first tee.? Over all, great value and a good golf course, short in the yardage from the tips (for those long hitters).
