Journey At Pechanga Golf Course Reopens In Temecula

TEMECULA, CA — Pechanga Resort Casino has reopened its par 72, 7,219-yard golf course following the county's easing of coronavirus restrictions for non-contact sports.

The Journey at Pechanga course reopened Sunday, albeit with restrictions and limited use: Golfers must maintain social distancing, wear face coverings, and there can be no more than four players in a group. No caddies are allowed, only one player per golf cart is allowed, and golfers must make tee times online or via phone before arriving to Pechanga. Only credit or debit cards are being accepted for payment, according to Pechanga officials.

All golf carts are being thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before each use; Journey at Pechanga staff are required to follow county mandates and will wear protective gloves and face coverings, Pechanga officials said.

“Reopening of golf courses throughout the county is encouraging, and we know a lot of golfers will be excited to play while also abiding by the strict code of conduct for best health practices during this time,” said Jared Munoa, president of Pechanga Development Corporation. “Although we are able to reopen Journey on a limited basis and get some of our team back to work, we have no further plans at this point to reopen any other part of Pechanga Resort Casino until it is abundantly safe to do so. The health and safety of our team members and guests has always been our guiding principle, and it is more applicable today than ever before.”

Journey at Pechanga’s clubhouse and pro shop, Journey’s End, will not be open until further notice. The Journey A La Carté walk-up food outlet is open for carry out fare only, officials said.

Journey at Pechanga will be open every day from 7:30 a.m. to sunset. First tee time available is 7:45 a.m. To make a tee time, guests may visit https://www.pechanga.com/indulge/journey and click the “Reserve Now” button, or call (951) 770-8210.

The greens on all 18 holes were aerified on April 20 and 21. All golfers will receive $10 off green fees through May 7.
