Tijeras Creek
publicTijeras Creek Golf Club in Rancho Santa Margarita winds through the Tijeras Canyon in the heart of South Orange County, delivering one of the most visually dramatic public golf experiences in the region. The canyon terrain creates significant elevation changes, with tee shots that drop into canyon floors and approach shots that climb to elevated greens perched above arroyos. Native coastal sage scrub and cactus line the fairways, and the course is adjacent to the Tijeras Creek itself, which comes into play on several holes. The layout demands precise club selection given the constant changes in elevation and wind coming through the canyon. For Orange County golfers who feel the region's public courses are too flat and too similar, Tijeras Creek is the antidote — a rugged, character-filled canyon course that stands out from the suburban norm.
Tijeras Creek Golf Club was opened in 1990, designed to take full advantage of the natural Tijeras Canyon terrain in the newly developing master-planned community of Rancho Santa Margarita. The course was an early example of Southern California golf using native drainage corridors and canyon topography rather than flattening the land, and it has maintained a loyal following among Orange County golfers who appreciate its rugged character.
