Length 6327 yards
Slope 128
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.

Great Value

Played the course with my brother and two close friends. This was the first time that any of us had played the couse. The course was in good condition, with some bare spots on some of the fairways. The best part was the greens, they are large and in very good condition. The course layout was somewhat challenging for our group. We all happy with our golf experience today. We will come back to play this course again.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

bought a hot deal tee time. Big mistake. Golf cart lasted two holes before calling for a replacement. appears their cart fleet s is old and batteries are dying according to several employees shared a cart with a person who never stopped talking.

Good side is the fairways have improved and greens are slick and fast

Nice little jewel on the coast

I played a weeekend tourney here. The course is a lot more challenging than it looks. You can still score, but you need to stay focused. The greens will challenge you with the hills and ocean. The clubhouse is really great. The food is good and the staff is friendly.

VIEW worth the SLOW play!

This course has many different & challenging holes with tremendous views. Its not long but you need to keep it straight as there are many hazards to be found. I really liked the layout.

To be fair with this review, we were greeted by the starter that told us Golfnow double books and didn't know how soon we were to tee off. This NEVER happened to me before and I've used Golfnow many times. Although the course took 5 1/2 hours to play, I really did enjoy the day and I'll be back!

Challenging

Awesome golf course, fantastic layout and in great condition

Lots of fun holes one blind shot dogleg fairway. Sand traps protecting greens but open in center for placing your shots and yes some water too but even the beginner can have fun there.can expect to play in 4-4.5 hours.

Pace of play

Over 5 hours to play 18 h. I had never seen that in 50 years. That is why I would not recommend going there..

And we were lucky a few groups left the course in the middle of their round. Otherwise we would still be there.

Slow play behind a small tourney

Course was nice, but we were behind a 20 player tourney and marshals did nothing to let us play through, or speed up the drunks.

Didn't finish after about 5 hours.
