Talega Golf Club
publicTalega Golf Club in San Clemente is an award-winning public course carved into the rolling hills of southern Orange County, earning recognition as one of California's top public golf experiences. Designed by Fred Couples and Gene Bates, the course opened in 2001 and immediately established itself with its dramatic elevation changes, sweeping canyon views, and exceptional conditioning.
