Tijeras Creek is a beautiful and challenging golf course. The personnel make the experience that much better. I would heartily recommend this course to anyone!

When the gardner (greens keeper) does not over water the fairways are great. ) If he does, they are a mess. (More damage is done to the golf course by maintenance staff than golfers. Cart path only on # 12 is a liability issue, as a drunk came over a mound and landed in a canyon. Sand traps are the big weakness. Lots have never seen real sand. Staff, food, and facilities are great. Must have a Creek Card. Big discount at TJ, as well as really good bargains in Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and several other states. If you play it 4 times a year you must have a Creek Card. $99.00 annually.

On Fridays it seems they have consistently over watered the fairways. Near green lies in some fairways can be sloppy wet. Can't drive cart on some fairways and for some of us the ball is not visible nor known. Walking looking for the ball with a hand full of clubs only to find out you didn't have the right club is frustrating. Long rough makes finding ball a chore and slows play, ball is hidden and you can easily pass by it.

Have to qualify my responses here. The course had been overseeded a couple weeks before, so when I played, it was cart path only, and the fairways and rough were tall and wet in a lot of places, making it difficult to play.

My biggest complaint is nowhere on their website do they alert you to this.

This is a nice course and I like the contrast between the front and back 9. Not the best deal in town but worth the play once they get the course back in condition in another few weeks.

This is a great course that I always look forward to playing when I visit Southern California. The Creek Card program also makes Tijeras Creek an exceptional value. The golf and food/beverage staff are extremely polite, helpful, and knowledgable. Caution, the front nine will lull you into believing you will have a great round and then the back nine will eat your lunch!

Two different 9's, front 9, tight, surrounded buy housing, back 9 totally different and more fun. Fairways in bad shape, lots of dry areas! Overpriced. Bag drop off and pick-up extremely awkward, not a pleasant experience. Other clubs in area of similar stature have valet service.

Have played this course since it opened its still the best golf course for your money.

Love the course, but have NEVER been satisfied with the greens. For a course with so much hype, the greens are average at best.

We play this course quite ofter, have the Creek Card, which is a great deal...always in good condition and very friendly staff, and great food and drink....

This course is lots of fun. It combines a traditional residential area front nine with an undeveloped natural canyon back nine. The back side is much more challenging than the front. The staff are very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend Tijeras Creek.

good course

The only problem with this course is the pace of play.

Great course with an excellent staff!

I've played Tijeras a number of times over the last few years, and it is truly one of my favorite courses ever. I've always found it to be in very good condition, well maintained, and a very fair test - couldn't ask for more from a course. The variety of holes on the course is really spectacular and makes for a fun and challenging round every time. As stated in other reviews, the front and back nines are entirely different, and while the back seems tougher, the front actually plays to a higher stroke average. Very picturesque, and to me it seems more like a private course, and is a nice value. Highly recommended.

Layout offers a great variety of holes, i.e. doglegs left, right, elevated tees, elevated greens, etc.

This course gives you a feeling that you are playing at two different courses. The front 9 is very manicured and the back is wild and wooly. Lots of fun and challenging enough to satisfy the masochist in most of us.

Seems to be too wet on Fridays when I play, don't like wet lies in the fairway. Pin location are questionable, never in the middle of the green most on the edge. I don't need that type of challenge. Maybe they are trying to save the greens for weekend play.

Too often not sure what and where to hit. Could use a layout book or GPS. Maybe I should use my golfshot app but still requires lots of thinking time.

Have played here several times before and I think the course was in the best shape I've seen it. Conditions were very good on this day. This is a fun track and would recommend it to anyone. The only downside to it I think is that the first 8 holes have houses on them, although most are a decent distance off the fairways. Play was slow on this particular day and the group behind us did mention that pace of play is usually an issue on this course.

I did pay $99 and joined the "Creek Club" which alows for discounted green fees and other amenities.

Greens were rock hard, very sandy with alot of ball marks. Seems like evry time I play this course, there's something going on with the greens! Bunkers had little sand and were not raked. (We were 4th group out)

Loved the course

Great layout, golf staff and food service staff. OB Sports Creek Card makes it a good value. Great rates at other OB Sports facilities. Greens have deteriorated and could use some work. Bunkers need a lot of work, but are improving.

Very good course layout. Conditions are very good most days, greens somewhat bumpy and slow. Pace of play...plan a 5 hour round, every time. Resturant has good food. Proshop has good selection and staff very friendly. Range and practice area good. Mats and grass area. Chipping area remote. Price is very good and discount membership available.

Great layout, front nine & back nine like two different courses, enjoyable to play, challenging but can score well if you keep it in play (Duh), there is a reason this course is consistently in the Top 5 courses in SoCal.

The front is like Palm Springs the back like another world, canyons with elevation change on numerous shots. If you don't well on the front, you will find the back will be a real challenge.

Great variety of holes and layout, including extensive canyon holes.

Very Good

beautiful course. Front 9 plays different than the back. Both are challenging. The greens are horrible and have been for the past 2 years. No root base, sandy all the time with not only a lot of divots, but holes from the birds eating the seed. Sand traps are horrible. Majority have very little sand more dirt and always wet with puddles of water in some all the time. The staff are very nice. They really treat the women great. Great club to the womens group.

Love this course. It is essentially our "home course" as we do not belong to a club. We have played it in many conditions and always have a good time. Love the back 9 which for some is a little intimidating, but is beautiful. Their breakfast burritos at the snack bar are the best! Really like all of the staff.

Best course in Orange County

With Private clubs at Coto and Dove the closest options, Tijeras takes you to the cleaners on fee. Great layout and decent conditions with fairly good pace of play in morning, I would recommend.

greens were still recovering.

Course had just punched and sanded the greens, so the conditions weren't that great. But, it is a great course for the money with a very professional ambiance.

This is a GREAT golf course. We vary playing from the white, blue and black tee-boxes; which makes the course very different. By the way, purchasing a "creek card" ($99/year if purchased before 3/13), makes playing this course an incredible deal, each time one plays.

(cart included), played on Tuesday, August 2008 at 10am

I play here regularly and the staff and course are top notch

Two unique nines. Pace of play can be so slow as to really effect your enjoyment of what should be a very nice course. Creek Card available, which gives the holder discounted green fees. well worth it!
