ALERT: Private Course Pending Maintenance
At this time Greenskeeper.org does not monitor - Private Courses - for maintenance alerts. However, during times of the year when its likely a private course will be doing maintenance rather than post a GREEN (no maintenance) alert status we feel it is more accurate to post a WHITE (pending maintenance) alert status.
* We ask that you please contact this private golf course for maintenance information before playing.

Played TPC Valencia on 3/16/15 through a SCGA outing. Played from the blacks on this day but found this course to be very nice. The greens are very hard and fast so once you have discovered this, you... Continue »

Overall, a great day at a great price as we golfed this private course for $60. It included carts, range, and their top-notch practice facility. There were a few areas of burned out turf in the fairwa... Continue »

Fun day at TPC Valencia today. Glad I finally got to play this course. Special thanks to kviser for posting a Meet & Play notification and arranging things for a few of us to get in on the "member for a day" outing. $60 was a great price and the staff was very friendly and helpful to all us guests. We teed off at 10am in a shotgun. I played along with GKers tonybarrett, sr129 and mdames, and we got our butts thoroughly kicked by this tough course. It did really help that mdames knows this course really well and was able to give us a lot of pointers on each tee box (not that we were always able to follow directions or execute the "ideal shots"). 4.5-hour pace was pretty good with a big group. We only had to wait on the group ahead of us a couple times on the back nine and never saw anyone within a hole behind us.

The course was in pretty good shape. When I first pulled in, everything looked really green and perfect. But it looked a little better from a distance than up close and personal. The fairways had their share of thin areas and the rough, though mostly lush, had its inconsistencies, as well. That said, it was much, much more good than bad. I was in a couple bunkers and they had good sand. The tee boxes were great.

The highlight of the course condition-wise was the greens. They were exceptional. Firm, but receptive to shots with spin. And, boy were they fast! True and smooth with deceptive breaks that had us baffled all day. You really have to pay attention to the surrounding landscape to see the true slopes or you will be fooled a lot by what you think is uphill/downhill.

I enjoyed the layout. It's a challenging course for sure and it does have its quirks. It is the type of place you have to play a number of times to really figure out the best strategies. I wouldn't want to play here every day, but wouldn't mind coming back every few years if the price is right. The only hole I didn't particularly care for was the 15th because there really is no good lay-up area on the second shot unless you are a pretty long hitter. Otherwise, I thought most of the hole designs were fair as long as you know/execute the right strategy. Most fairways are more forgiving than they appear from the tee, but some of the greens can be really tough to get at. Any birdie here is well-earned.

Not much to say about this course, other than that it is very well kept. Everything is lush, bunkers are excellent. Top notch practice facility. A pain in the rear to walk in the summer heat though.

I was lucky enough to get invited to play TPC at Valencia with a member on Sunday 4/21/13. We teed off at 1pm. POP was about 4:45, but I knew this would be the case on a course this difficult. This was my first experience with a TPC signatory course, and all I can say is 'WOW.' It's a die-hard golfer's mecca. This is what golf should be.

The practice area is spectacular. Large grass range with many greens as targets. The pros hit from the bottom of the hill back up at the 'little people.' Haha. I saw Jason Gore coming off the range as I arrived. There are quite a few PGA pros that belong to this club...so you could bump into one at any time. Pretty cool :) There is a nice chipping green and sand trap to practice from. The putting green is huge, and rolls exactly as the greens on the course do...incredibly fast. The member I played with said the greens are running at about 13 on the stimp meter. He wasn't lying.

The course is fantastic. Very long. The layout reminds me a bit of the Robinson Ranch courses, but much better. Less sand, actually, than the Robinson courses. Many elevation changes, lots of elevated greens.

The fairways are double cut and gorgeous. Some unfilled divots, but not bad. I made sure to fill as many divots as I could...just trying to give a little back to this amazing course. Rough is thick and lush, about 3-4 inches.

The greens....oh my the greens. I am in love with these greens. Crazy fast, but pretty much perfect. There were a couple of holes that had quite a few ball marks, but the maintenance crew has done a great job keeping them nice. The greens were receptive to well played shots. These greens are a bit deceptive reading the breaks. Without our member's knowledge helping us read the greens, and in general helping us around the course, we all would've added at least 10 strokes to our score. Local knowledge is critical on your first round here.

Tee boxes were flat and lush, only the par 3's showed any divot damage at all. The sand traps were fantastic as well. A couple of the traps were a bit compacted, but the ball splashed out easily.

This is the best course I have played in Southern California...granted, I haven't played most of the big ones like Riviera or Torrey Pines, but TPC at Valencia is awesome nonetheless. If you ever have the opportunity to play here, you'd be a fool to say no.
