Guests can lounge at the Coliseum pool and spa or shuttle to the Crystal Cove beach. Tom Fazio's North and South courses both kiss the Pacific Ocean with outstanding views throughout the round. Six restaurants will tempt your appetite.

INCREDIBLE COURSE

The course is filled with beauty! It is a long difficult course. The staff was great. Can’t wait to return.

Best course in the area!

North course has some challenging holes and is fun to play. The pace is good and green is perfect but challenging. Always my favorite course to play if the price is right.

Great As Always

Had light fog sprinkling rain, still great condition and barely any players out on the course. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were all in shape.

Great Course

Grabbed a twilight rate. Teed off at 5:00 and we were able to get 9 in. Didn’t see as much of the ocean from the front 9 which was a little bit of a disappointment but overall the course was in spectacular shape. Several challenging holes that force you off the tee over wasteland which is beautiful to see and fun to play. Seemed to me several holes had hills shaped to keep balls in play. 1, for example, if you went a little right you ended back in the fairway as long as you don’t reach the bunker. So you have to play it a little less than 250 - unless you can drive it 285+. From the front of the bunker I was only 175 or so out. Easy par to start the round. On the 142 yard par 4 I was about 40 feet up the hill to the left of the green and my ball funneled down the onto the green. Not a good shot but the course enabled a par. Hole 7 took it back by taking my errant 6 into the drink! We had a blast. We stayed for dinner and drinks after our short round. This is a must play.

Great course but slow play

Course is unbelievable. Beautiful and challenging. Only problem was pace of play. Had as many as 4-5 groups on a couple of holes. Marshall came late, around 11th hole, but was too late to fix issue and didn’t really try just made excuses.

Amazing course

Everything from the clubhouse to the holes is amazing. Very pretty course and has great charm to it. Very expensive but if you can find a hot deal I would defiantly take it!

greens meh....

The course is beautiful, challenging and next to no one repairs divots. The biggest disappointment was the battle scared greens. I expected more for the price but it was still a fun round.

So BEAUTIFUL!!

Played on a perfect day for golf. Tee time was 3:30pm and got all 18 in just in time (south course). Course in fantastic shape, playing partners (1 was a member) were fantastic! Staff was great and friendly. Staff at the bar afterwards for a drink were excellent. Total experience (my first tine here) was excellent. Will def come back to play again

Awesome views, especially the couple of holes that run along the beach. Some cool holes that cross big valleys of rough stuff. Pace pretty slow, people in front of us didn’t seem to keep up with people in front of them. My reservation also showed 2 people instead of 1 for some reason, they didn’t make me pay for a second person thankfully because it was just me

Can't overlook pace of play

I've played both the North and South multiple times. Conditions are always exceptional, staff is perpetually top notch and first class. But the pace of play was just horrid. No cart path only, nothing to slow things down, even allowing for multiple obligatory photo ops on with amazing scenery. There is absolutely no excuse (especially since the tee sheet is NOT overbooked) for play to be so glacial.

Not worth the money

I was very disappointed for such a high dollar course. The greens were extremely bumpy and very unkept. The fairways were not that great neither. It reminded me of a nice municipal-course. Nearly every hole did have an Oceanview, that didn't make the difference in value for the price.
