The course is re-seeding so the fairways were WETwetWET... the greens were bumpy.
I'm playing golf on a Friday morning... what do I have to complain about??
The staff is awesome. The Starter, check-in, snack bar, restaurant staff were all fantastic.
The food is super good and the drinks are excellent.
Again... I'm playing golf on a Friday morning in OC.
Life is, indeed, good.

1. Amazing staff. Very friendly. Very helpful. Very upbeat and happy to be there.
2. I've not played a course in this good of shape in a long, long time. They even just re-seeded the fairways but you'd never know it. The greens were pristine. The traps were very playable, clean & soft (I know - I was in them all day!)
3. We had a group of much better golfers behind us and they kept hitting up on us... but we kept the pace up as fast as we could and it was never a problem.

When I booked my round I noticed that there were several notices about their COVID-19 protocols and that was a definite factor in booking with Tijeras Creek.
Upon my arrival, I could see that they were taking COVID very seriously and that put me at ease, immediately.
There were multiple signs reminding people that masks were required at all time and to maintain 6-feet of distance from one another. The check-in was easy, fast and safe... no touch from start to finish.
The starter asked that we don't linger until about 10 minutes prior to our tee time... at which time, they lined up our individual carts - one, per person - and, again, reminded us to keep our distance, don't touch the pin to wear our mask at the turn and whenever we were around the club-house.
The course is in perfect condition. The weather was great. I got grouped with a few guys that had know one another for 30+ years, who golfed together on a regular basis... but they immediately made me feel like one of the group.
The price of $185 is steep... but, I'm golfing on a perfect Sunday afternoon in South OC... what should I expect?
Perfect day... Thank you Tijeras Creek.

I've played this course several times as I'm an Owner at the Villas at the Westin Mission Hills.
I've never seen the course in better condition. The fairways & greens were perfect. Seriously, it felt like they were ready for a PGA event.
The pace of play was fast - Our 3-some had a 2-some in front of us and a 4-some behind us. We never had to wait nor did we feel like the group behind was playing up on us.
It couldn't have been better.
