Over priced and fairway bad

They jacked up the price due to high demand during pandemic. This is no more than $85 course, but they were charging double of that. Friendly staffs, but fairway was full of dirt spots.

$182 is too expensive

The greens aren’t well kept. It’s a rip-off when you can play Edgewood in Tahoe for $225.

Overall staff was friendly and have a great driving range.

Sorry, but you must take better care of your course.

Tijeras Creek--BachelorParty Group

I can not say enough great things about the course, staff and amenities. My interaction from the online scheduling to the friendly attitudes of the staff made the day and event memoriable. My son and his wedding groomsmen all could not stop talking after the 18th hole and shared with me the entire round and how beautiful and challenging it was. I would highly recoomend this course to everyone, unless it gets too popular and then I can't get the times I want--sort of selfish of me , I know.

Not impressed at all

The prime time rate for this course should be considered highway robbery. Fairways and greens weren’t maintained whatsoever.

Pro shop and outdoor services were rude as well.

Great Day for Golf

When I booked my round I noticed that there were several notices about their COVID-19 protocols and that was a definite factor in booking with Tijeras Creek.
Upon my arrival, I could see that they were taking COVID very seriously and that put me at ease, immediately.
There were multiple signs reminding people that masks were required at all time and to maintain 6-feet of distance from one another. The check-in was easy, fast and safe... no touch from start to finish.
The starter asked that we don't linger until about 10 minutes prior to our tee time... at which time, they lined up our individual carts - one, per person - and, again, reminded us to keep our distance, don't touch the pin to wear our mask at the turn and whenever we were around the club-house.
The course is in perfect condition. The weather was great. I got grouped with a few guys that had know one another for 30+ years, who golfed together on a regular basis... but they immediately made me feel like one of the group.
The price of $185 is steep... but, I'm golfing on a perfect Sunday afternoon in South OC... what should I expect?
Perfect day... Thank you Tijeras Creek.

Beautiful and Friendly

The course was beautiful and the staff was overly friendly and helpful. It’s not an easy time to do business— so I especially appreciate their efforts. I look forward to coming back to play another round.

Buyer's Remorse

The fairways are shaggy, the greens are agonizingly slow. The facility is good, range and practice greens are open. But if you value decent turf conditions for your $100 green fee, you might be disappointed.

Nice well maintained course

I enjoyed the course, it was scenic and well maintained. Wide fairways, obstacles, and challenging. The greens had a lot of unfixed divots however but that did stop us from enjoying the round.

A Staff That’s Doing Safety Right

I have played Tijeras Creek a few times and really enjoy the fantastic layout and terrific fairway conditions and bunker conditions. But this is my first time since COVID-19 became an issue.

The course has clear signage. The staff is considerate and respectful providing great guest service, while also making a point to be clear about safety guidelines and communicating them to guests.

This was a massive relief and it was clear that everyone cares for their guests at the course. From checkin to the cart team to the bar staff to the roving cart staff: everyone was on the same page about safety while also being cheerful and providing amazing service.

Honestly it’s the only experience I have had like this in months and it should be commended. Especially because everything else was great too.

There were only minor quality changes to the course between my last visit and my visit during COVID-19 and that is amazing considering the circumstances.

If you do go for a round there, be sure to thank the wonderful staff.

A very fun Golf course

The course is a fun
golf course. It is not as challenging and intimidating as other golfers have said. It has nice creativity on a lot of holes on both sides and i will play this course again.
