Fun course

Course layout was diverse. Pretty forgiving with wide fairways. Greens were in pretty good condition for the time of year. Staff was friendly. Water stations and bathrooms along the course. It was a very fun round.

Excellent Day

I really enjoyed the experience on the Legends Course at Tahquitz Golf Course. The course was relatively easy and the pace of play was quite fast....

Long, Flat and Wide

This is an old school course with very wide fairways, no water, and fast greens. Relatively longer yardage holes so longer drives are paramount to avoid long approach shots. Little worry about keeping the ball in play makes for a fun, low stress day. Bunkers are in bad shape and need new sand.

Nice course

Grass everywhere. As opposed to one of the more natural courses with sand and wasteland around fairway and greens.

Fun Course & Good Value

Wide fairways and only two holes with water (one a short par 3 and the other a relatively long par 3) which made for an enjoyable round. Greens are firm and fast, but in good condition and straightforward. Greenside bunkers have new sand which is nice, although maybe a little soft and "beachy" until they settle. Definitely recommend and will play again.

Just OK

Pace of play was great as we were the only golfers except for a twosome that we let play through.

I have played this course in past years and enjoyed it. No-frills course with wide fairways and challenging greens. Resort course does not circle back to clubhouse after 9 holes making it a long day!

Old school layout. Extreme front to back Greens

This course seams easy, but putting is difficult do to relatively steep sloping of the greens front to back. Also it is fairly long with the shortest mens tee's at 6200 for a par 71 with a slope of 120. The greens are fast and downhill putts will lead to 3 putts. Greens break more than you will read. Keep the ball below the pin to have a good score.
