The recent rains and the overseeding done 2 months ago have made this course very nice and green. The longer it does not rain the faster these greens become. The front 9 is long and is similiar to a course in Palm Springs with houses on both sides of the fairway. The back 9 is actually easier for a low handicapper or a straight hitter because the holes on this side seem to yield more pars and birdies. A not so straight hitter will probably lose a few balls into the O'Neill Regional Park on the back 9.

Great track, back nine is tough!
Played 1/2705 PLayed as a twosome.
Friendly staff.

Great day at Tijeras. Very lush. Rough is thick and high. First green is a little thin and fast, but the rest were perfect. Fairways awesome. I joined Creek club. Major deal. It's awesome for $60 (creek club discount); $80 is steep, but I wouldn't pay $80 anywhere. It's a great course. Customer service was fabulous, except for the marshall who sat by the 10th green blabbling on his cell phone!!!

Hmmm. I don't know about this one. Two very different nines. Front nine layout is quite good. Great routing of the holes and very appealing to the eye for the landing areas, but the homes really detract from it. Back nine, very scenic but very confusing to the eye from the tee boxes. It's really hard to get comfortable on the tee box, it's like you are just teeing off into the canyon. It's definitely worth it to play it but there are much better layouts in SoCal. I was also a little disappointed with the overseeding. Some of the fairways were a little thin. By now the overseeding should be lush.

no damage from rains. front nine fairways are still fuzzy. haven't been mowed real close yet cuz still wet. they just mowed back nine fairways. greens were in good shape. way too many players cra... Continue »

no damage from rains. front nine fairways are still fuzzy. haven't been mowed real close yet cuz still wet. they just mowed back nine fairways. greens were in good shape. way too many players crammed on course, but, it was sunday. we teed off 30 minutes late and barely finished. sunday golf. what are you gonna do?

I agree with previous post...course is in very good shape. Overseeding has almost completely taken; that's why still cart path only. Actually, I'd rather it stay that way and keep the course nice. ... Continue »

I agree with previous post...course is in very good shape. Overseeding has almost completely taken; that's why still cart path only. Actually, I'd rather it stay that way and keep the course nice. How hard is it to walk 30 yards across a fairway to your ball? Good distance indicators on most sprinkler heads. Greens and traps in great shape. Creek Club is a great deal. You get discounted rates and early twilight for everyone in your group (up to three players). Back nine is probably best in The O.C.!

I don't know what course some of the critics are playing when they critique Tijeras but our foresome was totally impressed with the play today. The only downside was the cart path only policy and the wet spots on the tee boxes and fairways BUT I KNOW IT WAS ALL DUE TO THE RAINS EARLIER THIS WEEK. Otherwise, the service was grand, the conditions were great and the course is beautiful. Will play again often. Too bad it's so far from my house.

We played Sunday, 11/14, after it rained the previous day (some). Parts of the fairways and rough looked like they had been drenched - standing water, very muddy. The greens still showed signs from aeration, although the effect on putts was slight. Our tee time was 11:50 and we didn't finish until after sundown - over 5 hours. I could understand that, since it was a weekend, but they should make their twilight rate start time realistic - more like 11:30. If you pay full price, you should not expect to race the sun and lose! In general, not a bad layout, but not worth $100.
