Championship Golf Surrounded by Orange County Beauty

Tucked into the rolling hills of Rancho Santa Margarita, just minutes from John Wayne Airport, Tijeras Creek Golf Club is an exceptional golf destination in Southern California. Designed by celebrated architect Ted Robinson, this spectacular 18-hole championship layout offers two completely different and equally extraordinary nines — a front nine that plays through shimmering water features, and a legendary back nine that climbs through awe-inspiring elevation changes, old-growth sycamores, native oaks, and chaparral, with iconic hole 16 voted one of Orange County's Best 18 Holes by the Southern California PGA. Beyond the course, Tijeras Creek delivers a full experience with TJ's Tap and Table, a Toptracer Range, experienced PGA and LPGA teaching professionals, and a stunning Spanish motif event venue with a romantic fountain terrace perfect for weddings and private celebrations. Tijeras Creek is Orange County golf — elevated.

Tijeras Creek Golf Club is Orange County's best-kept secret — a premier 18-hole public course offering one of the most distinctive and beautifully maintained layouts in the region.
