Well, I don’t get to do many surveys anymore, and that’s probably a good thing because the other guys do a better job, but I had to get out and try Tijeras Creek Golf Club before the Greenskeeper.org Tournament, Sunday, June 5th. Before reading this, understand that my review is, and will always be non-biased, and the fact that Tijeras Creek Golf Club is a supporter of our online golf community and host to our first tournament has no effect on my opinion. So with that said, here’s my review… This was my first time playing Tijeras Creek Golf Club and I really liked the service, clubhouse, practice facilities, playing conditions, but most of all, the layout. It’s a tale of two nines with the front nine relatively flat, carving its way through homes, with somewhat forgiving fairways that entertain many strategically placed bunkers, hazards, and mature trees, fair yet well protected undulating greens, some intimidating par 3’s with forced carries over water, some great scoring opportunistic par 5’s, and a solid mix of par 4’s. The back nine, well, it’s just incredible. A great mix of holes with some spectacular par 3’s, tricky par 4’s, and an overall layout that’s a bit shorter then the front nine but more hilly and challenging. It’s carved into the natural terrain beautifully and in such a way you sort of lose yourself on it. I mean you really get a sense of seclusion while being completely caught up in the thought provoking holes. Look out although for some blind shots and hidden hazards. Make sure you take a little extra club when in doubt because the large majority of trouble fronts the greens. As good as the front nine is, it’s the back nine that will keep you coming back over and over to play this course. Regarding the playing condition, this is a very well maintained golf course with the lush fairways topping the list. The greens were in good shape but a little soft and bumpy in spots. The tee boxes due to their small design did show considerable divot damage on a few par 3’s but over all were level and lush. The rough was lush, cut at a forgiving 1 to 2 inches yet still defined the fairways well. The sand traps all contained high quality sand and were well kept. Overall, the course is in great shape and only going to get better over the next month as they prepare it for the SCGA Championship on July 8-10th. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to play this course, wait no longer. Tijeras Creek Golf Club is quite impressive and well worth the green fee.
