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.

Great Course, but Unprepared Staffing for the Heat

The course conditions and layout are great. Is it worth the typical $200+ fee; NO. But, if you can catch a Hot Deal, it is well worth it.

The temperature soared to 104 degrees when I played, and there were no services available on the course. The turn stand was closed, and there was no beverage cart service. This is a major staffing failure that should have been remedied.

NOT a $200 Golf Course

It specifically stated in my reservation confirmation that the course would be cart path only until 11/5. I played 11/10 cart path only & punched greens. No mention of punched greens in the listing or confirmation. Tee boxes were not in good shape either. Staff was unfriendly and wouldn’t do anything for me after I drove over an hour to play there.

Fantastic experience

I came as a single and instantly was impressed by the whole place. Lovely design. Kind welcoming people. The starter was a joyful person and quite accommodating unlike most. (I was alone in the range and he stopped to chat and welcome me!)
The course is crazy fun and challenging. One of the best I’ve ever played…
I would come down from Seattle again and stay at the casino hotel as well as enjoy their fine restaurants next time.
Great couple or guys golf trip.
Thank you Pechanga!

Stunning course - well worth the drive from San Diego

I’ve taken a few trips over the years to San Diego and have played Torrey (North and South), Maderas, PGA West Mountain, and now Journey. I was previously blown away at how fantastic of a course Maderas was, but Journey was on a whole other level..

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the practice area is top notch, and the course was immaculate. The views from some of the tee boxes were incredible. If you’re in the San Diego area and are lucky enough to have a rental car, I cannot recommend. Journey enough. It was well worth the hour drive.

First time there!

Staff was super friendly and kind as I was running late due to the traffic. They said no worries and got me out right away. Cart has all features I like, cushion seats, towels, ice water in cooler & GPS. The layout is beautiful w/ flat & elevated holes & dog leg left & rights. I was surprised of how much water runs through and how clean & healthy w/animals enjoying it. The greens were medium to fast paced & tricky to read. The tee box markers were tight but the tee ground it self were good size. Fairways & rough were also kept very well groomed & manageable to get out of, well most were. The ride from green to tee was pretty long in the front which I was happy that the carts were nice. Overall it was a great course & I look forward to playing there again.

No cart service and no staff around after 3pm
That could just because of Covid or short staff
