Talega Golf Club

The course is in below-average conditions everywhere. Not sure how they attract golfers to this place with the extremely poor conditions.

Course is in good condition with the exception of a few tee boxes. Only negative is their range which you have to take your personal vehicle to because it’s not adjacent to or at the course.

Greens are in good shape. A bit slow but looking good. Some tee boxes and areas of rough are under repair. Great pace of play for an early tee time.

We have played this wonderful course many times. The weather was perfect, pace was great on first 9 holes, On 10th hole, a three some cut us off, and no Marshal around. No ball washer, no drink water available on course! No drink cart around the course either. We passed several Tee boxes since we could not see Tee rocks——grass are too high which covered the Tee rocks on some Tee boxes！

Very low services for the price. No water. No drink cart. No marshal. Tee boxes poorly maintained.

We played this course thinking it was going to the to the caliber of strawberry farms - we were sadly disappointed. No golf range on site and pretty unfriendly staff. The didn’t even have a putting green. Wish I could ask for my money back. Very disappointed

This course is ok but absolutely not worth $150. It’s crazy they charge this for golf carts that are probably 15 years old, no gps and just run down. No cart person anytime thru the round no Marshall for slow players etc, additionally almost all tee boxes were tore up or under repair of some sort. The limited staff we saw was awesome but overall they are fleecing you with the rates, San Clemente muni is cheaper and probably in better shape

High end greens fees for a mediocre experience. Course is in fine shape. Starter was polite and took initiative to get us off on time. The course is just kind of barren… pro shop help was uninterested to the extreme, there is no water/cart concessions at all on the course. Pack your beverages or you’re in a survival situation when it’s hot. Really not worth the greens fees they’re asking.

This is a great go-to course. Challenging enough for all golfer levels. The course is in good shape and the pricing is fair.

The only negative I have to say is that the experience buying food or drinks at the turn is really frustrating. You can count on 10-15 minutes, at least, if you want to get something. Meanwhile, you feel like you are holding up pace of play, worrying about whether the foursome behind you is going to jump in front of you.

If this happened once or twice before, it would be no big deal. But it happens every time! The person at the counter is really slow and is unfriendly, with no sense of urgency. So it is really frustrating.

I, and the other players, wondered why there was not a drink cart on the course. We would have purchased from the cart and it would have sped things up, overall.

Anyway, other that the drink/food counter experience at the turn, the course is great! I enjoy playing there. I just had to say something about the turn experience because it happens every time.

Thanks.

Haven't played Talega in about 7 years and I am surprised on how much it has gone down in quality. I remember it being a very upscale course in great conditions but not sure if it was due to COVID or management, this course is not worth the $150 price tag. Restaurant was closed on a Friday of a holiday weekend so no food pre or post round. The snack shop had a variety of food options but only hot dogs were available. No water stations throughout the course, no beverage cart coming around to offer food or drinks. Graffitti on the bathroom doors throughout the course. For the $150 price point, better to play Arroyo, Tijeras, San Juan Hills, Strawberry Farms, etc. over this course. Sad to see but won't be playing Talega again.
