Rancho Santa Margarita Golf Course View Homes For Sale

Golf Course Views in a Master-Planned Canyon Community

Eric's Take: Golf Course View Homes in Rancho Santa Margarita

I have played Tijeras Creek Golf Club and I know the holes that back to residential properties well. The course has a beautiful canyon setting and several residential sections where homes overlook the fairways at varying distances. Dove Canyon Country Club, just over the Rancho Santa Margarita border in Dove Canyon, has homes within its gated community that offer some of the finest private golf views in South Orange County. I track this market in real time through our weekly Orange County Housing Report.

What Buyers Should Know Before Purchasing a Golf View Home in Rancho Santa Margarita

Where the Best Views Are

Homes within the Dove Canyon gated community on the canyon-facing holes have the most dramatic golf views in the area. Along Tijeras Creek Golf Club, homes on the north side of the course with eastern exposures overlook the fairways with the Santa Ana Mountains as a backdrop.

What to Watch Out For

Tijeras Creek is a public course with significant weekend play. Homes directly adjacent to tee boxes or short-approach zones should be evaluated carefully. I have walked the perimeter and certain sections have very little separation between the fairway and back fences. Dove Canyon is private and more controlled.

How Rare These Homes Are
