One of Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club's Favorite Reviews What's This?
Some days are great and other days.....even greater!
The course is always in pretty great shape and the staff's (always) quick to grab your bag. (It doesn't hurt when they can stir-up a great bloody-mary mid-round, either!!!)
The course is challenging (from the blue tee's and...) although it's not as green as we'd like - it's really supposed to be like that in some places. GO FIGURE.
As for the grub - it'd be cool if they didn't put minced onions in their kobe burgers...but it's pretty-damn-delicious if you enjoy onions.
All in all - if you're not lookin' for 5-stars, and you've checked their prices in advance - you ought be satisified!

This is a difficult course a for the $94 green fee on the weekend, not all that. It is a cart-only course and the carts did have GPS, which was fun to play with and helpful for your game.
There are plenty of challenging holes and the course overall is narrow. Not a lot of places where you can just rip your tee shot. It is beautiful in its own deserty, Arizona kind of way.
Came here with friends of friends who needed a fourth. Don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

Ballin'!!!
I hate golf but love food!
I had a very cool Easter brunch yesterday with my girlfriend's family. The drive from L.A. was nice. Mission Viejo is like the last city in the tip of the O.C., so I thought it would be a drag. I was wrong!
The scenery rocks and everyone is polite except for that one girl who looks important but really isn't--even though she has a walkie talkie and a CLIPBOARD--work on it.
We're seated inside, it was already hot at 10:30 in the a.m., and are greeted by Ms. Sami--she's got the fine premium champagne in her hand, and we all partake in some bubbly.
Once the rest of our party arrives--we hit the grub!!!
I pile my plate high with some breakfast eats-which include-eggs benedict, sausage, bacon, mini waffles and french toast fixings. What really caught my eye was the seared tuna ahi-FUCK YEAH!
After two rounds of regular food, I dash over to the dessert area. I snag a cheesecake slice and a pumpkin pie slice--topped of with their very own chocolate sauce. Yeah.
The inside clubhouse has a cabin-like decor and the outside is green as far as the eye can see--and has a cool lake.
I highly recommend this fine establishment...FOR BRUNCH ONLY. I don't play golf, so I can't comment on that.
That's all I got.

Overpriced for brown fairways. Very difficult if you've never played it. If I were to return I would probably shave about 10 strokes of my game just now knowing the layout now. If you miss the fairway say good bye to your ball as every fairway is lined with environmental protection stakes.The beer girl was nice.

Excellent track, challenging and fun. Agree that if you've never played its a bear, u need to play with someone who's played or get some advice before you tee off. Great clubhouse, nice people, nice range (but way overpriced), great putting green, easy parking and excellent food. I've played 4xs now and enjoyed it every time out.
The best place to spend Easter.

I love this place.
It's always good.
My favorite course, EVER. Read more »
I don't usually don't frequent classy institutions such as golf or country clubs unless there's a party with booze involved. Which in the case of this review it was an engagement party for a close friend of mine. The luscious greens were nestled in the hills of South County, kind of hidden away behind Saddleback College. The party was on the patio of the dining room, very intimate. The champagne was yummy because the flutes were rimmed with pink sugar crystals. The food was really good, especially the beef wellington and tuna tartare, I only wish that there was more of it. Extra bonus was seeing the baby bunny rabbit.

I went to a wedding here this past weekend and it is a gorgeous venue! the backdrop was the 18th hole and the hills of mission viejo! the food was good as well. they served us sushi, cheese and crackers, grilled veggies, crab legs, oysters and shrimp cocktails. I wasnt able to stay for the reception. but the room overlooked the green and the outdoor patio was nice to have to get some fresh air.
i hear the golf course is very good as well!

Really a Country Club experience. This is what upscale golf should always be. A good course, good staff and good grub.
A friend turned me onto this course and I've been coming back for like, 2 years. You really feel like you're out in the country on a lot of these holes. Very well designed, medium long from the Blue's and some really punitive holes that involve water(like #18). And when your'e done good food and drinks in a very comfortable clubhouse.
Highly recommended

It was ridiculously hot today and I decided to play golf with a friend on my day off. I'm guessing it was 100 degrees. I attribute my lousy playing to the heat. LOL A couple beers and some Gatorade didn't even help. The course is really nice except they were seeding some of the greens today. It is a pretty nice course for being public. Overall, great scenery and a fun course. Nice slopes and well groomed fairways. I lost a good amount of balls. There is so much brush everywhere and the fairways are narrow. If you shot around 100 like me, you probably will lose some balls and struggle on some holes. Golf is a great game, had a blast today.

Mid-range to Upscale public course in South OC. Great facilities, reasonably priced for the quality of the course.
Canyon course that demands accuracy in several areas off the tee.
One of the newest golf courses in Orange County.
Designed by Tom Lehman.

My review is for people looking for wedding receptions, not a day of golf. The staff members at this club are so kind and accomodating. When my (now) husband and I were looking for places to hold our wedding reception, a competitor of Arroyo Trabuco tried to tell us that while the food was good, the service was questionable. She was wrong. The food was fantastic and the service was impeccable. Alyson is calm and kind, even to the most stressed out, money conscious gal (yes, that was me). The view from the reception site is gorgeous and they only hold one wedding there per day, so we could choose to hold our reception at whatever time was convenient. Anyway, at least take some time to check it out if you're looking for places in the South OC area.
I recently did an outdoor wedding and reception at this location and it was just perfect. The best part about it was that the wedding coordinator for this venue was just as wonderful and professional as could be. The back drop is beautifully set with the mountains and gorgeous golf course. We got some really amazing shots and there was an abundance of locations to photograph every detail of the event.

This is my home course because its near my home. har har. The grass range here is much better than that crappy range up the hill at Saddleback College. I hate that damn net. The course is priced a little high at $78 for what it is but its still a fun course. Its pretty straight foward. The greens here can be a hit or miss. The front and back 9 have some good holes. But 15 and 16 are the EXACT same hole. The only difference is one goes north as a par 4 and the other comes south as a par 5. Kinda boring. Thats my only complaint.
This is my home course. No complaints. Its a beautiful location, lakes, grassy, hilly and its tough. There are a lot of OB areas. Easy to lose balls there. You can see a fair amount of wild life while you play as well..coyote, deer, rabbit, road runners, squirrels, ausprey, hawks, ducks, etc... You can hear big bull frogs sometimes also. I like the driving range, they have a nice putting/practice area, practice chipping at the range. O'Neils is their restaurant there, its great for before/after round drinks/meals. Great staff. The cart girls there are wonderful, we love Debbie, she is great. She makes a cranberry lemonade spritzer I think she calls it, she sells out every day. They have good sandwiches on those carts, my son loves the turkey. The rangers are nice - its an over all fantastic experience. My favorite holes are #6, up hill par 4, #12, #13 over the water par 3, and 16,17,18 are very nice. 17 and 18 are right on the lake. The sunday brunch is very nice. I've reviewed it before, Don Duncan is the singer there, and if you haven't heard him before, you need to. You're missing out. He is not only a great singer/entertainer, he has a great personality and remembers EVERYONE.
