Journey at Pechanga

Beautiful course. Many elevation shots where you’re hitting down below you. Pretty good conditions. Downsides are 1. Tee times too close together. 7 minutes is way too short. 2. Many range balls were scuffed. 3. The food options in the casino are extremely bad. 4. No grass range offered that day. 5. Greens were punched somewhat recently. Could see holes over entire green.

Love the course layout, quality of fairways and greens. Practice facility is next level. Once you play couple of times and know the spots to hit, it’s more enjoyable. Restaurant has good quality food while service is bit on the slow side.

Played 9/5/2024 Back tees - 7,093/74.8/142 Green speed: 13-14 Uniquely scenic and pristine golf course, a delightful experience. Even during high temperatures, staff maintained highly professional service and accommodated the players. Great measure of the business’s quality (during extreme times), and Journey did their best. An Arthur Hills gem, top notch practice facilities in great order, historical Pechanga Indian Tule houses and 1,000 year old California coastal oak trees on property. Pristine greens rolled like putting on sloped ice, traps looked great with interesting designs, soft sand and high banks, fairways great, 17/18 tee boxes looked great (copper tees). Forced carry drives are challenging here with afternoon mountain winds (slope rating plays more in mid-upper 140s) and several narrow driving windows, so bring A++ game. Scenic views and a pretty landscape, high quality groundskeepers on par with Maderas, clubhouse looked very nice.
