Journey At Pechanga Golf Course

The Journey At Pechanga is a public 18-hole golf course located in Temecula, California, 60 miles north of San Diego. The golf course is an amenity at the upscale Pechanga Resort & Casino, a venture of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians..

The Journey At Pechanga opened in 2008. The course was designed by Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest.

Each hole features a Luiseno name, and the course is sprinkled with cultural exhibits that relate the story of the tribe. The golf course, routed over the beautifully rolling terrain between Pechanga Creek and the adjacent mountainside, weaves its way through numerous stands of mature California live oaks and provides stunning vistas of the Temecula Valley and the surrounding mountains. Journey sets out at the base of a large mountain, crosses the Pechanga River, a dry wash, then basically sets off into the sky.

Journey makes no pretense about being a walking-friendly course. The soaring elevation changes mandate using a cart, but the payoff comes on the 488-yard, par-4 6th, which plunges 175 feet from tee to fairway, then another 100 feet down to the green. The hang time there is, between 8 and 10 seconds.

The Journey At Pechanga plays to a par-72 and measures 7,219 yards from the tips.
