Journey at Pechanga was built on the ancestral land of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. The land is also home to "The Great Oak," one of the largest natural growing, indigenous coastal, live oak trees in the U.S. It is estimated to be anywhere from 850 to 1,500 years old. The golf course was carefully carved from the rolling hills that stretch Pechanga Creek to the surrounding mountains. Great care was taken in creating the course in order to preserve the beautiful land that has been home to the Pechanga Tribe for countless generations. Mature California oaks frame most of the holes and the dramatic elevations provide breathtaking views of Temecula Valley. The challenging layout will reward accurate shot-making but will punish any errant shots.

Outstanding

Everything about the experience was top notch. The staff was incredible, the course was in great shape and the facilities were incredible. Worth the green fees and highly recommended to anyone willing to spend a little.

Challenging but fun

This is the type of course that you need to think about just about every shot. If you like that kind of challenge once in awhile it was a lot of fun. Excellent condition and great views. I got this on a hot deal and I had a credit so it wasn't too bad price wise but I think normally it's pretty pricey. For an occasional special round this would be one of the courses that should be considered

The Best Around

The course had everything you want in exclusive golf, minus the million dollar homes. Maderas and Steele quality. Reminded me of Streamsong.

Solid Course, Solid Staff, Solid Experience

Had the opportunity to play this course at 1:45 p.m. on a Sunday. Course is always in terrific conditioning as well. Manicured from t to Green (the tee box on 10 is spongey but easily forgivable for how nice the rest of the course is). The range balls are complimentary and the property boasts a great short game practice facility and a very realistic practice. Putting green to get you ready for your game.

Only thing that was marked less than five stars was the pace of play, but that was more due to the group playing in front of us. I recently learned the course does not have later tee times at this time of year. The group in front of us was playing for money and did not seem to want to allow us to play through despite us frequently being right behind them and accidentally hitting into them a couple times. The staff handled the incident outstandingly and see them as some of the best in Southern California.

If you get a chance to play here, do it!!!

Uniquely scenic and pristine golf course, delightful experience even during high temperatures

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.

Great Design and Conditions

First time at Journey at Pechanga and I was very impressed. At only $210 it was definitely worth the money! The course conditions were immaculate. There was rarely a brown spot in the fairways and the tee boxes were beautiful. I loved that there was elevation change on many of the holes and the water features on many holes was a nice touch. Food from the snack shack was great and the practice facility was very nice. I played at 215pm and it got really windy on the back nine. I would play again but earlier in the day before the wind. The bag drop was non existent and the bag boys were not there to tell me where to go at the beginning or end of my round but that is the only bad thing I can say about my experience. Can’t wait to play here again!
