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.

Top 5 Course in Cali

My buddies and I played this course on the last day of a week long golf vacation. Everything you would come to expect from a top rated course was fulfilled. From the knowledge and friendliness of the staff to the overall conditions of the course. The layout is phenomenal and the greens rolled true. Even the fully stocked locker room was a pleasant surprise. Pace of play was slow, but we came to terms with it by enjoying some amazing views. This is a must play course and you won’t be disappointed. After the round, take the money you won from your buddies and head over to the casino.

Not 5 star

I’m giving course 4 stars cause fairways are not in 4 star condition. Rest of course 5 star but for $200 or more I would have been disappointed cause at that price. I except everything perfect. I paid $120 on hot deal so was satisfied completely at that price. But there are many courses in same condition (4star in my opinion) that are same cost or much more reasonable .

NOT a $200 Golf Course

Punched Greens & Cart Path Only for $200. Absolutely ridiculous. It specifically said in my email confirmation cart path only until 11/5. I played 11/10. No mention of punched greens. Shame on you GolfNow. They refused to discount the rate.

Golf Now "might" help you if you are a paid member of their Golf Pass, otherwise booking with them is pretty much Russian roulette in terms of them helping you with your tee time reservation. Call them and you can speak to one of their agents way out in Tampa. Good luck, and book direct with the course when you can. GN used to be advantageous, now it's a money grab by other golfers who want your money but don't want to work for it

Played Pechanga for maybe the 20th time yesterday & shot 69 from the blues. My best round in over 5 years. Teed off from the tips on 17 which is possibly the best par 3 from that tee west of the Mississippi River. This is easily one of the top 3 SoCal San Diego (Torrey Pines & Madaris the other two). If you are traveling to the area, put this course on your schedule
