This place is gorgeous! The clubhouse was very nice and the course was well maintained. Staff was very courteous and helpful during my time there. Plenty of parking as well. I played a full 18, starting at 1100, and while the sun was intense, the ocean breeze came in during the late afternoon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ El Niguel Country Club is an absolute gem. The course is beautifully maintained, with lush fairways, fast greens, and scenic views that make every round a pleasure. The layout is both fun and challenging, so it’s great for all skill levels. The staff is consistently welcoming and professional, and the overall atmosphere feels relaxed yet refined. Whether you’re here for a round of golf, a meal, or a special event, everything is handled with care and class. A top-notch club that never disappoints—highly recommend!

I went to the New Year’s party at this country club, and it was worth the price! The staff were very friendly, and the outdoor seating area was spacious and nice. It’s on lower elevation, but from the balcony, you can see a nice view of the golf courses and the beautiful houses of Laguna Niguel on the hill. It was incredibly rainy and freezing outside this day, but the place was well insulated that it was perfectly warm (or, room temperature I should say) inside despite the door being open. I would recommend hosting events here especially if you're worried about the cold!

We have been members of El Niguel Country Club for 13 years and have seen it evolve throughout the years. The course is currently under construction and being redesigned. The clubhouse went through interior renovations approximately 5 years with significant upgrades in the men and women locker rooms. The club has increased the family and social activities significantly. Taco nights on Thursdays with live music are great and pasta night on the first Sunday of every month are very popular. They have live music on Thursday and Friday nights. The views are beautiful and the staff feels like family…

Great round of golf with friends. The food and service are always first rate. I have never had a bad experience at El Niguel. The Reuben sandwich was delicious with a refreshing vodka soda. Great way to finish a crappy round of golf...

The food was very good and the atmosphere was excellent for a Saturday afternoon meal to visit with family. The staff was very attentive. They even offered to bring us food from the dinner menu that was not normally served during lunch. Our meal was the perfect pace to accompany the conversation. A very pleasant meal and afternoon.

I really enjoyed the play at this course and I was very grateful for the invites. Their renovations have really improved the course and it has been growing in very well. In talking with some people on the committee and the lead members of the team managing the greens and the course, you can tell it is being run very well and they are heading in a good direction, improving upon an already great course.

Cheap frozen meat, they also charge you prime prices for choice meats. Frozen seafood that isn't used by Sunday gets frozen and used for the following week. The leftover meats from taco night and Italian night are used for the following week.

I've always attended events at the country club and have always been impressed. But to be invited today by a friend who is a member and actually play the course was amazing. Some of the most beautiful golf course holes in Orange County. The course is challenging but also forgiving at times as well. If you ever get a chance to play do it it's a treat.
