Good experience

So I'll start with the obvious - there's a bit of an issue with a number of the tee boxes. The rest of the course was in pretty solid condition and it's something they are addressing. Pace of play was FAR better than two other area courses played in the previous couple of days. As always, staff were top notch. I've played here a lot and unless it gets really backed up have never really had a negative experience.

Orange County's Best Public Course Hands Down

I have been playing at Tijeras Creek for about 3 years now.

I joined the Creek Card membership because the discounted rates pays itself off in 1 round with you and your 3 buddies.

The greens and fairways are in perfect shape and when the course does go through dry spells- the staff finds a way to get it back into great condition in only a matter of weeks.

I don't know how this course has a 4 star rating- it is the BEST!

OUTSIDER Treatment

My colleague and I were in town for business and had the opportunity to get out for a round on Thursday am. We were recieved warmly in the shop, however the guys in the starting area were not at all welcoming, short with responses, and really not helpful prior to teeing off. In fact, when we finished our round, my partner and I were not offered for our clubs to be wiped, not asked how our round went, we were not even acknowledged by the guys in the start/finishing area.

Great course, although the greens need some work-too many divots/dimples.

Challenging and beautiful

Staff was great. The on course “Cart person” was exceptional. Two totally different style 9’s. Price a bit high for Seniors.. we played Arroyo Trabuco the day before and had an equally fine experience for $50 less per person.

Good test for the OC

Course will challenge you. Course is quite tough, especially on the back nine. Course in very good condition. Just a little overpriced. If you're in Orange County, this course will test all your game. If you've got the budget, you'll enjoy it

Great Course ....BUT!!!!!....

Being this is my favorite course in O.C i was excited to play it again.
But at the time of this review Southern Cal has had lots of rain in the past month so
The course was soggy and wet which i expected but the greenery and scenery made up for it.
just note its Cart Path only so call the starter to confirm if they have lifted the rule.
the fairways are very nice but still wet, the rough is extremely high due to the rainfall so bring more balls than you normally do just in case. The greens are A+++ and in great shape.
FYI some holes might be backed up bc golfers might be looking for their balls in the rough so patience is key. i would play this course when the sun has dried the course out a little bit if you want favorable scoring. i would recommend bringing some type of rain pants as the mud will be on your calf area. If you have "range shoes, wear them.
the course is beautiful as the rain has made it much greener but wet.
i love this course and will def be back in drier conditions.

Solid course but poor conditions

There had been a lot of rain a couple days before, but the course was just soaked. shots down the fairway and around the green were often times hitting out of puddles, and the grass in the fairways was way too long.

The course was cool and the set up was really solid, but the conditions made it less than desireable.
