Played Meadow Lake 2/16/2013, for $43 per player. This was the right rate to pay. The course is in fair winter shape but there was no beverage cart, they were starting groups off 20 minutes late and it ended up being over a 5 hour round after teeing off. The layout is nice with a lot of great views. I would probably play it again but not if they increase the rate, that being said, I would also pay more if they improve conditions, provide a beverage cart and get my group in and out of there within 4 1/4 hours.

Played here 10/01 with a 10:30 tee time. Teed off at 11:10 due to a slow semi-pro tournament?, no beverage cart service, no marshal, all water jugs were empty except the last one on the back and the temperature was around 105. A lot of the greens have large bare areas, some greens were cut short while others were "shaggy", approach shot on #9 plugged! Fairways and tees were acceptable for this time of year but the bunkers and rough are inconsistent. Customer service was good and the views from the clubhouse are nice. Currently, this is my last choice for golf in the Temecula Valley area.

Played Sunday and teed off around 6:30 and finished by 10:30. The last time I played this course was about 3 years ago and it was in need of some serious help. Glad to see it's back in great shape. The first 6 holes were great until we hit the fog and since it had been awhile, I couldn't remember where to hit it! Cleared up around 13 and we had good visibility for the last four holes. Found difficulties putting today, the greens aren't real fast probably stimp around a 10 but they are tricky...for me anyway. Customer service was good, our first visit by the bev. cart was on 15 but that's understandable given the early tee time. My only two knocks on the course were the tee boxes were really shaggy and the course is poorly marked for yardage. $49 C4TT deal I would consider a bargain right now for this course. Had a great time and I will come back to play quicker knowing this new ownership has turned things around for the better.

Played on Wednesday 8/12. The online deal we got was good; however, many of the greens and tee boxes are in horrible shape right now. They claim that they are the "4th best course in SD county". Maybe North County SD when it's in good shape because you can't compare this course with the likes of Aviara, Maderas, Barona, or Torrey. The fairways are in good shape with bermuda and kikuyu grass and the rough was at a decent length. I will be back once the greens heal and hopefully they will get a chance to level out some of the tee areas.

Played Sat. 8/28, 4hour round mid-morning! New back tees on #3, #4, #8, #9 and #17 makes this course much more enjoyable. Their scorecards do not have the new yardages or ratings for the blue tees yet. I asked about this and was told the course was recently re-rated and were waiting for those results from the SCGA. The course and greens were in really good shape. No frills here just a solid golf course for a great price. I always forget it's out there in Escondido, but every time I return the place seems to get better. My group will be back sooner especially for some of their great specials.

Played Oaks/Stonehouse and conditions were great. Greens are speedy but were holding quality shots. Fairways are good, it looks like they recently aerated as some holes are still evident. Rough is playable and the two bunkers I found myself in had good sand. The only blemish to this course are the tee boxes. More than just a few need to be leveled. The staff is great, saw the beverage cart a couple of times. Will play it again, early to avoid the wind!

Normally I do not do reviews; however, saw some recent reviews and thought I should share my experience. I played Talega on 6/18/09 and it was in good-great shape. The par 3's on the front from the tips are awesome (all carry over water- 1 (at) more than 230 yards & the other (at) more than 180 yards, into the wind!). Bunkers were good, greens rolled med. speed (9.0-9.5?), two beverage carts were on duty (on a Thursday afternoon!), Pro-shop and staff are great and we played in 4 hours and 10 minuets, pretty good considering when we pulled in we couldn't find a parking spot. What more can you ask for?.....maybe more ice in the coolers? Continue what your doing Talega, we will be back.
