Hands down the best condition I have seen this place in years! The fairways were as good as one could want. Greens had some bumby areas, but still pretty nice. Overall, the course was in great shape. Staff was excellent! Welcome back Tijeras Creek!

I swore I'd never post again, but I just can't keep my mouth shut on this one. Played Tijeras on Wed the 6th and again on Sat 9th. The course is absolutely in fabulous (sorry guys, I'm a lady) shape! What a difference a week makes (from last poster). Wed was cart path for the first hour or so - in lieu of frost delay. Saturday was only a few holes. Yes, there are still tee, fairway and green divots, but the greens are not as bad as many other courses in that department. I have been playing TC for 10 years + and I can't ever remember their greens being this fast and true. Are they finally rolling them?! I always highly recommend this course and right now you will find the best conditions ever. Unfortuately if you play 10 am or later on the weekends you will suffer the 5.5 hour rounds, escpecially if they have a tourney going on as they did yesterday. We teed off around 10:30 and finished at 3 on the dot. Still the best value for your buck in So. OC. And the staff continues to be top notch. We saw the beverage cart 3-4 times on each 9.

Still cartpath only....Maybe this weekend if no rain you can go off cartpath I walk anyway. It is a very enjoyable course to walk. There are just a few uphill treks that are not that fun. The co... Continue »

Still cartpath only....Maybe this weekend if no rain you can go off cartpath I walk anyway. It is a very enjoyable course to walk. There are just a few uphill treks that are not that fun. The course is very green and lush. The greens are a bit thin but still roll well.

Played today 2/2. Course is in pretty good shape. Like usual, lots of unrepaired divots in the fairways and lots of ball marks on the greens, but the course is really green which is nice. Tee boxes we... Continue »

Played today 2/2. Course is in pretty good shape. Like usual, lots of unrepaired divots in the fairways and lots of ball marks on the greens, but the course is really green which is nice. Tee boxes were good, and even though people don't fill their divots in the fairways, the fairways were nice. Greens rolling between 8 and 9 I think. This is a good course with cool staff.

Bad stuff = pace of P L A Y......
Totally ridiculous. How people can fall behind when the course is on 5 and a half hour pace is beyond me. Teed off at 130 and hadn't even played the entire 3rd hole by 230. This is miserable and turns a nice course into an excrutiating experience. I will not being going back to Tijeras unless it's bright and early going forward.

I recommend this course, just play in the morning and not the afternoon!

i PLAYED IN A CARD HOLDER TOURNAMENT TUESDAY, JAN 8. 7:30 SHOTGUN. THE OVERALL COURSE WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, THOUGH THEY HAD 4" OF RAIN DURING THE WEEKEND, WHICH MADE IT A CART PATH ONLY DAY, WHICH DID EXTEND OUR PLAYING TIME. BUT, FROM TEE BOX THROUGH THE FAIRWAYS TO THE GREENS, THE COURSE WAS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT, I GUESS I'M NOT A TYPICAL "GOLFER". OH YEAH! THERE WHERE SOME TEE BOXES THAT SHOWED SOME SEVERE DIVOTS AND THERE WAS SOME STANDING WATER IN SOME PARTS OF THE COURSE. WHEW! I AM A GOLFER I DID FIND SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. THANK YOU. PLEASE WELCOME ME BACK AS A 'GOLFER'.
I WILL PLAY HERE AGAIN

Played here twice in the last week...first off on 1/2 and in the Creek Card tourney yesterday. Course is lush and in very good shape. Greens are very good, except for #5 which is full of ball marks (par 3) and a three inch by three inch chunk taken out of the middle of it (like someone hit a three iron off the green). Fairway are wet, but lush. It's card path only as they had 4 inches of rain so of course there are many muddy spots. Rough was thick and wet. Course is in real good shape.

Played TC for the first time 12/27. The bad news first was that it was slow. Had to wait consistently, starting at the first tee and many thereafter -- sometimes doubled up. We started a little before 1:00 and even with a moderately decent pace, I think there would have been a good chance to finish 18. As it was, we finished 14 in the dusk. It's always disappointing not to finish the 18, but particularly because I liked the course a lot and would have loved to get the full experience. The second paragraph of the Surveyor's Report sums it up well. The greens were a little dinged up with ball marks, but not too bad and with good pace. The front nine reminded me of Tustin Ranch, parts of the back nine Ojai Valley. It's out of my way, so I don't know when I'll get another chance to play there, but if the opportunity comes up, I'll go for it. Nice facility, interesting course in good condition. For those in closer proximity that might play the course more often, the discount card they are selling at a reduced price right now looks like it would be a good bargain.

Played twilight on 11/21 and got ten holes in. The overseeding is complete and the course is lush from tee to green. Greens were running slow. Fairways had not been cut in a few days to allow the new grass to come in completely. If you like a green golf course, play Tijeres in the next two weeks.
