Course Overview
Located in Fallbrook, California, The Golf Club of California presents an 18-hole public golf experience that balances natural beauty with thoughtful course design. This course unfolds across gently rolling terrain, transforming the landscape with its varied elevation and mature tree lines, including prominent stands of oak and eucalyptus that lend both shade and challenge. The layout blends elements of classic parkland style with subtle touches of mountain golf, crafting holes that demand strategic shot-making without overwhelming players newer to the game.
At roughly 6,500 yards and a par of 72, The Golf Club offers a test well suited to a broad audience. It promotes playability through generous fairways but rewards precision near contoured greens that require deft touch and careful club selection. Key to the experience is the attentiveness of the maintenance efforts, ensuring lush fairways and well-kept tee boxes, though some bunkers await replenishment to fully complement the course’s design intent.
Golfers will appreciate the full range and dedicated practice facilities, including chipping and putting areas, which make preparation before a round both convenient and effective. Amenities extend beyond the course, with a welcoming clubhouse and a cafe serving a quality menu that adds to the overall value of the visit. Service staff consistently receive positive feedback for their friendly and professional approach, enhancing the relaxed yet focused atmosphere.
Water stations are positioned thoughtfully along the course, maintaining comfort during warmer days, and a cart girl service adds a personal touch to the round. The course’s natural setting is at its most striking in autumn, as changing leaves bring vibrant color, creating an inviting stage for play or leisure.
This golf club welcomes players of all skill levels while still providing enough nuance to keep more experienced golfers engaged. While carts are available on request, the course’s walkability combined with varied terrain offers a satisfying outdoor exercise challenge.

Played course 12 Sept 2024. The amenities of this course is unmatched. From the locker room to the practice facilities. Course has a full range and good practice area for chipping and putting. The course also has a great military discount rate. The starter outside was friendly and very helpful. As for the course it's in pretty good shape. The tee boxes are cut nicely, fairways cut nice although some dry spot, the bunkers could be a lot better with actual sand added to some of them, the greens are in great shape with the exception of maybe 1. The course is clearly working on that green to bring it back to life. This course is challenging with a great layout. You won't be disappointed in the quality nor the service. Highly recommend to all golfers. They also have a cart girl and drinking water throughout the course which is a PLUS!!!

Today's golf trip was really great! Every course here was enjoyable because the environment was filled with nature and varied per course, and the fairway and the green are of great quality. The oak tree leaves were changing into their fall colors, and thus, it felt like we were having a picturesque fall picnic. The eucalyptus flowers were also very beautiful.

THE OWNER NEVER TOOK ACTION TO FIX A SERIOUS ISSUE! The last response from him was merely a fake response to make it seem as though his team is working on making things right but I have not heard one thing. THEY NEVER REACHED OUT. Please read my review and please please think twice about going here and reporting an issue to management. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Our experience with the Golf Club of California was deeply frustrating and disappointing. After an item of significant sentimental and monetary value—my fiancé’s engagement ring—was left behind, we immediately contacted the club and specifically requested that it be mailed back via UPS or FedEx, offering to cover all shipping costs. Despite this clear request, the staff chose to send it in a standard envelope, resulting in the ring being stolen - all thanks to Brian Sangster. What made the situation worse was the complete lack of urgency or support from their team. Over the course of several weeks, we followed up multiple times, only to be met with indifference and minimal action. There was no accountability, no meaningful effort to rectify the situation, and no reimbursement. This club is mediocre at best—unreliable, careless, and unprofessional. Their negligence and poor communication turned an easily avoidable issue into a deeply upsetting experience. Save your money and go elsewhere. There are far better venues that understand how to treat customers with basic respect and responsibility.

I recently had the pleasure of playing a round at this golf course, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The cafe/ restaurant has delicious foods and drinks, and course itself is impeccably maintained, with lush fairways, pristine greens, and breathtaking scenery at every turn. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail and the passion for golf that is evident in every aspect of the golf course. It's clear that they truly care about providing an excellent golfing experience. Highly recommend this place whether you visit with family or friends!

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the golf course for the price of the green fee. Routing and design are very good with elevation change and a variety of golf holes. I would recommend this golf course. Staff (Golf Shop, Starter, Range Attendant, and others) were very friendly and professional. It has a relaxed atmosphere and is well run, an excellent combination. I would certainly play here again. **Photo is the 7th hole. (Par 3)**
