Beautiful Well Maintained Course

My son-in-laws and I loved our experience on this course. The course is in great shape and very well maintained. The backdrop of the mountains is incredible. Its a challenging course but not too difficult for intermediate players. The clubhouse staff was great. The starter was a different story...but no big deal. We highly reccomend playing here!

Mountain

Great course. Open fairways for your tee shot. Fairways, greens, and bunkers were all in great condition. Greens were hard and fast in the afternoon. Need to watch the grain of the grass late in the day to read the greens. Awesome track.

Beautiful well manicured golf course

A beautiful course with lots of great water features, gorgeous flowers and deep deep sand traps!
It's expensive even when paying the evening fees, as you cannot complete 18 holes during the time allowed. $139 for 12 maybe 13 holes of golf is a lot.
It would also be nice if the simulators at the driving range were always available ; 2 of the 3 times we had to use the mats.

Terrible service and extremely slow

The staff were bragging how they run 500 players a day through each course and they don’t care how slow it is as long as they meet their quota. Complete trash service and practice range was off of dirt. Don’t go.

Tahquitz Creek Resort Course

Fairways have very tight grass, making shots difficult to gain traction. Off the ground. Homeless camp(s) just off the course are not a plus. I realize that this is the height of the golf season, but the course does not command $139 greens fees.

The course was in very good shape. The starter was very nice and friendly. We were offended by having a staff person follow us around as we played our round in four hours. Meanwhile, the group following us, that started ten minutes after us, was two holes behind us.
