To my surprise, they have not touched the greens! The fairways are in the process of being overseeded, they have all been scalped. That said, they actually played fairly nice. all things considered. Just lots of "cuttings" lying around. The staff was wonderful and with the current specials. a good deal.

i agree that this course is awesome. i played here back in april and was
totally into the contrasting design of the 2 nines. the conditions were really good too.

i think any golfer should know that a golf course is designed and built BUT is still 100% natural and totally vunerable to nature's way.
this means, even with a great maintenance staff, things can still go wrong.

i look forward to playing this course again. glad to see some updates so i know to give the crew the time it needs to make it right again.

fyrmng,

fyrmng,

You are welcome. I agree about playing other courses and there are some good ones with great fees in Riverside counties and others. We really liked Dos Lagos the new one in Corona. Back to Tijeras - we played again on Sunday the 23rd and we are really encouraged at the course recovery. They have even put in new flag sticks and cups - this is great news because the ones they had were the worst! If you hit them with your ball, they were deflected a long ways away and could cost you a hole in one. I am sure that overseeding is on the horizon as well as punching the greens, it is that time of year. That will surely help this great course recover. As for me, I will continue to play there because it is close, great price with the creek card (I have earned my 4th free weekend rate) and the staff is really wonderful.

As Tijeras is my home course, I can't help but respond to others reviews and update the course. I still play every Wed and 2 other times a week there. In fact I am playing today at 8. They are working very hard at getting the course back in shape and it is showing. The front greens are getting better and better. Although they look pretty bad, the are starting to roll pretty good again. They are not soaking the course quite as much now. Just because they had a little bad luck with their pump breaking and the fungus on some of the greens, does not mean you should write this course off or never come back. It is a beautiful course and will soon be back in beautiful conditions.

Played 8/30 fri. 1:20 tee time, 4:45 rd. ditto to all the other posts... greens suck. course wet. will never play here again... if i can help it.

Played here a couple of months back and the course was in good shape. Played here today and it was just terrible. From tee to green the course is in atrocious condition. Fairways thin or wet or just hardpan. Bunkers were a mess. Some had very little sand and some were totally overfilled with what seemed like beach sand. I don't mind sand but at least be consistent...and some had water. And the greens....never have I putted on worse greens. When the guy on the phone said the greens were slow I should've asked why. They were cut like the first cut of rough. Think low shag rug and that is the speed. And the ballmarks and fungus. All-in-all, a terrible experience. And, yardage markers are very scarce. There is not a single redeeming thing about this course right now. Spend your money somewhere else because you'll just be wasting it here.

I played this last Sunday and was shocked to see the condition this course has deteriorated to!
this was one of my favorite courses and I have no idea how it could get this bad this quick.
The greens were very bumpy and looked like no one ever fixed a ball mark. There were bare spots
and standing water, mud, hardpan all on the same fairway. Maybe there has been too many tournaments or
the course superintendent has been on vacation for a month but it is a real shame the way they have let this
course go.

I play TC regularly - during the week with the women's club and usually on Sunday's as well. As the posters below say, the greens are in bad shape as are many tee boxes. It is a shame because just before their pump broke the course was in awesome shape. They are making some good changes, signs on the tee boxes, more yardage markers, fixing the tee boxes. Then they were without water for 4-5 days, very bad timing. It also allowed the fungus to grow on many of the greens. It is sad that many players don't fix ball marks and just because the greens are suffering right now does not mean we should be even less attentive. Be patient, I am certain they will bring this course back to fabulous shape. It is still a great value compared to many OC tracks. The staff is one of the best I have ever seen (I could be biased though because everybody knows me there). The Creek Card is also very worth it if you play there regularly. I have already received 3 free weekend rates this year.
