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.

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

Great Course, slow groups

Loved the course layout and overall course condition. It was very windy but that might be normal for summer afternoons. There were two groups in front of me that were VERY slow. No course marshal that I saw. Players should be reminded to fix ball marks and divots.

This course is great! Friendly staff! Book tee time early,, it was a 4.hour round. I can see from pass review how It could be a 5 hour round.. The course is a long track and the rough is thick, so you better hit in the fairway. I lost a few balls because of the thickness. The views are awesome as well. Love the change is elevated holes. So fun! I’ll play this course again

Excellent except pace of play

Everything about the golf course including amenities and staff were excellent except for pace of play. It took us almost 3 hours to complete the front 9 because there were 3 foursome flights ahead of us that were playing some sort of tournament style of play. We were not in any rush but 6 hours to play a round would have been ridiculous. We ended up just playing the front 9 again to end our frustration and we were able to finish our 2nd 9 in just over 2 hours. There should be a Marshall to ensure reasonable pace of play.

Beautiful and unique

Everything was perfect except the group in front of us need to work on their pace of play. By the time we finished we had two groups stacked behind us while we were waiting for the group in front of us to finish, never saw a course ranger. Minor detail, amazing place-would definitely come back.

Slow pace

Took 5 hours to play at 7:45 am. Being the 4th group out I expect a 4 hr pace and nothing less. Since covid I have noticed that the average person has taken up golf and its become a more of a date night/ day with your girlfriend. Golf prices have gone way up and some courses dont care whos on the course. When i spend $100-$200 I expect the people on the course to be good level playing and when its a bunch of hackers and couples out to just hangout, its not cool. We requested a marshall on the 10 hole to advise the group in front of us to pick up the pace …. He never came.. Pechanga please take note and send some marshalls out to moniter slow pace. Other than that the course is awesome.
