I play this course a lot and it is one of the best around; however, at this time of year it's too hot for the grass and greens and is over played and the course just can't recover. As soon as they reseed and let the greens breath for a week or two this course will return to its place as one of the best around but until then it's simply beat up!

Played on 8/4. Play this course regularly, usually once every couple weeks. Beware, probably about half of the greens have some sort of fungus going on. One hole on the back, either 12, 13, or 14, is almost completely ruined right now. Rest of the course is in normal shape which is good. Due to the fungus or whatever is going on with the greens, the greens are very bumpy. Other than that, the course is great. Rough is not punitive at all. Front 9 holes are wide open. Back 9 holes are like a totally different course, very tight in spots, with multiple forced carries and great surroundings.

I read a posting saying customer service is bad here. I totally disagree. While I do think almost every course in OC is overpriced, TC has a great staff and they do a good job handling a very busy course. I usually play early sat or sun and have never made a tee time. I have never had to wait longer than 1/2 hour. Much better customer service at TC than most other public OC courses.

Greens were very good but the course played slow at first. Speeded up after first 9 and we started to move at a pretty good pace. Finished in about 5 hours. Not bad considering the back 9 of this cou... Continue »

Greens were very good but the course played slow at first. Speeded up after first 9 and we started to move at a pretty good pace. Finished in about 5 hours. Not bad considering the back 9 of this course along the canyon!!!. Sand traps were fairly tough. Need more sand to cover the hard pan. Fairways were pretty good as were the tee boxes. Greens however rolled pretty true.

Wow, tijeras needs help. It is patchy all over the place. Greens have divots everywhere as well. I would wait on this one especially with the current rates. They need to get this course back in to ... Continue »

Wow, tijeras needs help. It is patchy all over the place. Greens have divots everywhere as well. I would wait on this one especially with the current rates. They need to get this course back in to shape. Too bad the layout is always unbelievable.

Gosh, I fogot to mention the bunkers. Some are okay, as in normal sand lightly fluffed, some slightly damp below the surface ... no problem. But beware, for several (I found a couple on the back sid... Continue »

Gosh, I fogot to mention the bunkers. Some are okay, as in normal sand lightly fluffed, some slightly damp below the surface ... no problem. But beware, for several (I found a couple on the back side) that very hard with rocks the size of tennis balls (no kidding). Don't know what's going on there but BE CAREFULL!

Scratch another one off the 'must play' list: played on Sat. 7/14/07 in the afternoon. Overall, some course knowledge would help as there are some narrow fairways, unknown distances (no GPS), and blind corner shots, but all-in-all a very nice golf outing. I can see some room for improvments as stated in the previous postings ... the only comment I'd make is that I expected the greens to be a bit quicker. Of course, that could change depending on the day you play. The two nines are as different as night and day: front is 'through the neighborhood' golf and the back is 'canyon-target' golf. Both are set up nicely with beautiful landscaping and just enough quirks to make it fun and interesting. Just under a C-note to play on the weekend (the poster child for high-end OC courses) look for afternoon rates or other discounts to save a few bucks.

Played twilight on 7/2 finishing around 8:00PM, missing the heat of the day. From first hole to last the course is in great shape. Tee boxes are fine, sand traps are playable and fairways are an 8 out of 10. The course superintendent is to be commended. Tijeras management is watering the course constantly but end result is conditions cannot be beat. Enjoy the course before the heat takes a toll.

I play this course often (about every 4-6 weeks) and have to say this is the worst I have seen the conditions. Tee boxes are beat up and dead in several areas. Fairways and rough are dry, many bare sp... Continue »

I play this course often (about every 4-6 weeks) and have to say this is the worst I have seen the conditions. Tee boxes are beat up and dead in several areas. Fairways and rough are dry, many bare spots, and browning all over... and we haven't even gotten to the heat of the year yet. Greens were in decent shape and running without much bump or hickup. I am a little disappointed as this is one of my favorite courses.
