First time playing and putting on a golf tournament at Aliso Viejo Country Club 3-2-2026.

I found the course to be a very fun layout allowing ample room to let the driver rip. The layout featured a good mix of short and long Par 4s as well as risk/reward Par 5s. They had a good mix of short and long Par 3s with my favorite Par 3 the steep downhill hole 12. The hole 12 tee box provides a fantastic panoramic view of the property and surrounding mountains/valley.

The most challenging aspect of the course IMO was the approach shots. Most approach shots were to elevated well-guarded greens. On the greens, it was tale of two nines. The front nine greens were about average size with some undulations. The back nine greens were larger showcasing multiple tiers. I loved the back nine greens.

The golf course was in great shape with exception to some thatching/aeration zones in a few fairways. Those areas were marked GUR. The greens ran mostly smooth, little firm at medium speed. Tee boxes were level, cut tight and lush. The rough was lush cut down to just above fairway height. The bunkers all contained quality sand and were well groomed.

From an organizer’s perspective, I was impressed with how well organized and super serving the staff was. I wish they had a driving range, but the large hitting stall station served our group just fine. I loved how they staged the golf carts uniformly in line making it very easy for our players with a fancy touch. We did not opt for a snack bar but rather beverage cart service available prior to play and during the round. Super cool how the beverage cart created a special Vivid Golf Mull drink for our group.

Our group had a super time and I’m already looking into booking another event!
