Journey at Journey at Pechanga

Journey at Pechanga is an Arthur Hills design that opened in 2002 on the grounds of the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. The course occupies rolling terrain in the wine country of inland Southern California, roughly midway between San Diego and Palm Springs. Hills routed the layout across natural elevation changes and integrated native vegetation characteristic of the region, including oak trees and chaparral, into the playing corridors. The design takes advantage of the topography to create variety in hole presentation and sightlines.

The course measures over 7,000 yards from the championship tees and features multiple sets of tees to accommodate different skill levels. Hills incorporated strategic bunkering and water features on several holes, with the routing moving through canyons and across ridgelines. The property's natural contours influence both tee shots and approach play, requiring golfers to manage elevation changes and consider how the terrain affects distance and ball flight. The layout is part of the broader Pechanga resort complex, which includes casino gaming, hotel accommodations, and spa facilities.

As a resort course, Journey serves both destination visitors and local players from the Temecula Valley and greater Southern California region. The setting offers views of the surrounding wine country landscape, and the course operates year-round in the area's Mediterranean climate. The facility includes practice areas and dining options consistent with resort golf operations.
