2019 Best Playing Conditions for Inland Empire — Journey at Pechanga

This year GreensKeeper.org awards Journey at Pechanga Best Playing Conditions 2019 for the Inland Empire.

Not to be confused with “Worth the Green Fee,” “Best Playing Conditions” is awarded to golf courses open to the public listed on Greenskeeper.org that stand out above the rest with our site users at providing consistently the best greens, fairways, rough, tee boxes and bunkers around.

The job of the superintendent is the life blood of the golf course and most important contributing factor to enjoying a golf experience.  A golf course is a living, breathing organism whose health is constantly in flux.  It takes enormous dedication, resources and expertise by a superintendent and their staff to provide excellent turf conditions.

The rating system used on Greenskeeper.org is in part created by superintendents.  GreensKeeper.org’s trademark and creed, “Know Before You Go”®, centers on communicating these current playing conditions.

How Awards Winners Are Determined

Golf Course reviews and ratings submitted by our 78,000+ Greenskeeper.org community are tabulated over 12 months. Winners are determined for each area.

We divide awards into 11 sections —  Inland Empire, Los Angeles County, Orange County, Palm Springs Area, San Diego County, Santa Barbara County, Ventura County, Southern California, Central California, Northern California and Southern Nevada.

Played mid-morning here today.  It’s the second time I’ve played Journey.  I really like the layout of this course.  There’s plenty of elevated tee shots with gorgeous views everywhere. Scenic creeks run through holes and there is plenty of water.

Definitely target golf.  So if your game is not on, expect to lose a few balls. customer service is generally good here which is expected, from the bag drop to the starter. Range balls and a chipping area is included with your round.

As mentioned in the previous review, tee boxes are a bit shaggy but you could always find a place to play from. Fairways are lush and in good shape, not dry don’t expect too much roll. Rough is that thick, nice stuff, enough to grab your club or make you duff your chip. Bunkers were thick full of nice, white sand.  Unfortunately I was in 3 or 4 of them.  Greens were running quick with a lot of crazy undulation on these, 10 and 18 come to mind.

Leave yourself underneath the hole. Expect a workout and a challenge.  This isn’t your typical resort course, but I always enjoy when i can get out here.
