Journey at Pechanga was built on the ancestral land of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. The land is also home to "The Great Oak," one of the largest natural growing, indigenous coastal, live oak trees in the U.S. It is estimated to be anywhere from 850 to 1,500 years old. The golf course was carefully carved from the rolling hills that stretch Pechanga Creek to the surrounding mountains. Great care was taken in creating the course in order to preserve the beautiful land that has been home to the Pechanga Tribe for countless generations. Mature California oaks frame most of the holes and the dramatic elevations provide breathtaking views of Temecula Valley. The challenging layout will reward accurate shot-making but will punish any errant shots.

Challenging to say the least

The wind was gusting to 35 - 40, seemed like the wind was in you face on 90 % of the holes, but all said it is a beautiful course.

Golf with friends

We went out to play at 1:30pm. It was a little breezy, but the conditions were excellent. Pace of play got a little slow on the back nine. we did however finish in 4 and a half hours.

Great course and first review

This is a treat. It's a tough course. I'm a 13 and found the whites more than challenging enough. Putting is tricky. Our foursome of mid-handicappers didn't make anything all day. If you're a single digit, then you can play from the tees further back.

Close to perfect

Some of the fairways areas were unplayable. But they were clearly mark.ed . A. Marshall or two would help with pace of play.

The staff was great and the practice facility was phenomenal.

Went out of our way to try this place

Very professional setup. Superior practice area. All anyone needs.. Most of the course was fun. A couple of goofy holes, hard to figure for first time players. Greens were good. Fairways were the week point. But overall I will return.

Gorgeous course

Pace of play is generally slow mostly due to the popularity, difficulty and steeper slopes on some holes. This is one of the most beautiful courses you’ll ever play. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. Conditions are immaculate. A bit pricey but worth it on occasion.

Enjoyed it!

Enjoyable and challenging design which will make you think. Greens were fast, also sometimes difficult to read. Stunning views from several points on the course.

Terrific layout, with beautiful views.

Difficult course but very enjoyable to play. Had a 12:30 t-time on a day that was supposed to be Rainy and Windy. There was wind but didn't really affect my overall play as I guessed the effect right on most every hole and played the right iron, hitting most of the greens in regulation. The rain also only effected 2 of my last 3 holes but I came prepared with rainwear and that too was not a real issue. Due to being a single and other circumstances, played the back nine 1st. The greens were to have been aerated on the 15th but were very close to being 100% only 10 days later. The fairway turf too had been aerated but still very playable. As stated earlier I had a very enjoyable round of golf and am axious to play again. All the staff that I dealt with were friendly, welcoming and my only complaint was that everything was closed up before I finished, not letting me freshen up before going home.

Person working the cash register in the Pro Shop was grumpy and very short with his answers. The rest of the staff was very nice!

I love a playable course with lots of risk reward and this course offered that in spades. I hope I get to play it again.

Challenging and Fun

Lots of hills and lofty shots to greens below. Greens fast and furious .... better to be short than long, as many have steep edges off the back and impossible to retrieve balls. Lots of variety with water and rough ...definitely play the forward two tees if you want to have fun!!!

Disappointing

The fairways are dormant and the ruff is green?
The greens are spotted and slow.
Premium price for those conditions?
Not impressed at all

Disappointing

Been wanted to play here for a decade, finally made the drive and ponied up $160.

Nice layout, fair condition, some really nice views and tough holes. Just not what I was hoping for or expecting which was more. Sure at it’s prime once it was. Much better value and options close by for half the price.
