Glen Ivy Golf Club

Few corners of Southern California capture the inland valley character quite like the Temescal Valley corridor, where Glen Ivy Golf Club sits in the shadow of the Santa Ana Mountains. The surrounding area is best known for the Glen Ivy Hot Springs resort, a landmark that has drawn visitors to this corner of Riverside County for generations — and the golf course shares that same sense of destination, a reason to make the drive out from the sprawl of the greater Inland Empire or Orange County edges.

The terrain here is classic Southern California foothill country: open skies, golden-brown hillsides in the dry months, and the kind of wide valley floor that shapes how courses breathe and play. Expect warm, dry conditions for much of the year, with rounds that feel unhurried compared to the busier resort corridors closer to the coast.

As a semi-private or public-access facility in this setting, Glen Ivy tends to attract a mix of committed local regulars and visitors pairing a round with everything else the valley has to offer — a full afternoon's worth of California leisure.
