Whole course in terrible shape, Greens, Fairways, Tee Boxes all in terrible condition. No sand in sand traps, Back nine Greens a little better then front but still patchy and bumpy. Hot day no beverage cart. Pro shop guys great. Had a great Re-Gripping deal. Got a new Two Thumbs Grip for my putter. Try it works great.

This is the worst golf course I've ever played. Brown grass all over the place. Greens were the worst I've ever seen at a 18-hole course.

This is the worst golf course I've ever played. Brown grass all over the place. Greens were the worst I've ever seen at a 18-hole course.
Green Fee was $69, should have been more like $29 for the poor quality of this course.
Two words describe this hole accurately: GOAT TRACK

July 5th, 2008 was the first time I played this highley regarded golf course in Temecula Wine Country. I have heard great things about Temeku including; great value, beautiful scenery, mint condition, great staff. Today EVERYTHING was completely the opposite.

COURSE CONDITIONS:
First, the course was in terrible condition. There was almost zero green grass anywhere on the course. Burnt, brown grass dominated the entire 18-hole course. The only exception were in areas where drainage problems created minor flooding issues (and thus greener grass). The teeboxes AND greens looked like they haven't been seeded or rolled in about 6 weeks. Of the 18 greens, only 5 were in decent shape. The rest were were either over, or under, watered. Also, the Greens were filled with crabgrass, old divots, and poorly refilled holes! Many had golf cart tire tracks running through them. Every green sloped from front-to-back and completely lacked originality.

$$ VALUE $$:
The value just wasn't there today. For it being summer/off-peak conditions I'd expect to pay lower than peak greens fees. With a "Click-for-Tee-Times" discount I payed $54 to tee off @ 10am. Regular price is $69 for weekends.

COURSE MANAGEMENT:
Some of the employees were completely incompetent. First, Temeku has a 'no-denim & collared-shirt only' dress-code policy. However, numerous golfers wore ripped jeans, sneakers/basketball shoes, and/or T-shirts.
Second, an older male starter scolded a young female starter very loudly as I tried to tee off from the 10th tee. I asked his to quiet down but all I got was a smug look before he resumed making this young lady feel stupid.
And, Temeku's staff allowed numerous college aged kids to play for free with carts. This was confirmed by the obnoxious and cocky players who admitted as much. The most troubling aspect of our round was the actions of a volatile twosome that were let on the course for free (and giving free reign to raise hell) by an employee named Chase, or Jason? After playing the first 12 holes without seeing these hoodlums anywhere, they popped up behind us on the 13th fairway. We witnessed them trash the course by intentinally taking divots out of greens & teeboxes with wedges. They threw golfballs at a home with a for-sale sign on it. FInally they threatened to "beat me up," with a 5-iron, after I asked them politely not to cut over to the 15th tee as I was finishing on the 14th green. They must of thought this was WWE and not GOLF!

My advice to ALL GOLFERS is to stay far away from Temeku Hills Golf in Temecual, CA. There are at least a dozen better public golf courses within 30 miles. Or, if your looking for a uniquely annoying, and possibly dangerous golfing experience then Temeku Hills is just the right place for you!!

the front nine greens were all destroyed, probably a fungus, back nine were in excelent shape. i had to rate them very poor though due to the frount nine. rest of the course was pretty good. love the... Continue »

Played here for the first time yesterday (12/15). Weather conditions were fantastic (68 degrees and sunny). Here are my thoughts on the course:
-driving range really needs some new mats (torn up and threadbare) and decent balls (beat up mixture of yellow and white really feels tacky). This is my only real complaint. I just think it sets a bad first impression with the customer. It really made me wonder why I was spending $70...
-customer service and marshalls were great. The starter was informative and humorous. Themarshalls were consistent and helpful.
-course conditions were a bit spotts (lots of dead grass and mushy spots, but hey it is the middle of december--i'd like to see how this plays is in its prime
-a few greens were still affected by some sort of fungus, but we mangaed to play around it
-the layout is nice. 1-2 reachable par 5s, but the others are definite 3 shot holes. Good use of water. The course sets up especially nice for me on the back nine where the whole thing is a big left turn. SLicers could have problems here. Several slight elevation changes and a few blind tee shots and approaches make club selection tough at times (especially or a first timer).
-we paid $70 for a saturday round but it may have been discounted since it was a company tournament, but I am not sure. It was worth it because it was a great day.
-pace of play was fine...about 4:45 (not bad for a tournament round).

Have played Temeku many times in the past and decided to try my hand again on 11/24/07. Somewhere around hole #5 I remembered why I quit playing here. The holes are just not laid out right on the front 9 and it's hard to get a game rhythm going...I don't know maybe its me, but this course drops to the bottom of ones to play.

Played on "BLACK FRIDAY", I was told this is the busiest day of the year for them, well it was near empty, and I was really surprised. Book on line for a 12:54 PM tee time($30). I arrived at 11:30 AM,... Continue »

Played on "BLACK FRIDAY", I was told this is the busiest day of the year for them, well it was near empty, and I was really surprised. Book on line for a 12:54 PM tee time($30). I arrived at 11:30 AM, and was able to start immediately. It was that empty.
The track was in godd shape, but it looked like a few of the greens where infected by fungi. The good thing is the grounds crew just position the flags away from the damage, so they did not effect any play. The is a very interesting layout with alot of slope change and angulation. It is a course I will go back and play again.

Played for first time on 11/3, the course was good, they had just punched the greens about 10 days ago, so still rolled pretty slow, I liked the course layout and design where nearby houses does not seem to get too much in your way, the starter was very nice and even asked if we would like to start from back 9, this allowed us to play for about 3.5 hr on a weekend. Nice course, great golf day. This is as good as it gets.

Course is great. Had a lot of fun. Sand traps need some attention. And greens were just punched so they weren't great but no reason to complain, we knew it going in. good price with the red dot $27.... Continue »

Course is great. Had a lot of fun. Sand traps need some attention. And greens were just punched so they weren't great but no reason to complain, we knew it going in. good price with the red dot $27. Only knock was the customer service when returning the golf cart made us move it because he wanted 5 feet away not behind the rest of the returned carts.
