Monarch Bay Golf Club - Marina Course

Beautiful scenery! The course was well kept and we didn’t have to wait at every hole and there was no one on our butt either. The guy in the clubhouse was very nice and helpful. The guy at the booth on the course not so much but it’s ok. Just make sure to keep your receipt to show the guy in the booth after checking in at the clubhouse. I wasn’t aware of the two step check in

sand traps WET and being a public course... many foot steps. Also tee boxes sandy and barren

Good 9 hole course to play. However the sand traps need some sand in them. Mostly hard packed dirt.

I love this 9 hole course, as a relatively new player it truly challenges me and I'm starting to see my score drop as I practice more. I've played Monarch 3 or 4 times this year and usually see either a soccer type of player or a frisbee player on the course. This day it was the players ahead of us who seemed to be moving slower than usual. It's a casual community course so we waited and still had a great time. I'll be back in the hopes of beating my 35 stroke record.

3 Plus hours for 9 holes? They allow 5 somes?
4 newbies and 1 "regular; golfer... no marshal and
no courtesy.... (play through) It`s a good beginners
9 hole course... but a 5 some? 3 + hrs?

Ive never had to wait so long to tee off at every single hole. It took 5-6 hrs to play this course due to having to wait to tee off at every hole. Management needs to figure it out.

Hooked up with two other players, great attitudes with varying levels of experience. Not ver busy today so a couple of mulligans were taken. Fairways were in great shape, greens were even better. Will absolutely return especially through Golf Now’ s Hot Deals.

9 hole course, greens good... fairways good... tee
boxes need fixing. Crowed for a Thursday... enjoyed the course... by the bay so it was a little windy.

Look, I accept the fact that a $25 nine hole round at Monarch Bay is not going to be like a day at Pebble Beach, but the owners should at least make some basic effort to manage the tee times. I paid for a 9:20 tee time on line, showed up, was told that the course was "first come first served" and then watched a bunch of people with no reservations just walk on. I played one hole, stood for 20 minutes at the second tee box and gave up. I note that there were people in front of me who had been told that there was no room on the course until later - they were in line with me at the clubhouse - but they just walked on anyway once they had paid. Total mayhem, and unplayable for people who actually had reservations and has paid. "First Come First Served" should not mean totally unmanaged chaos. Nice little short course but I won't be playing here on the weekend again.
