Course in Great Shape

Always enjoy this course. Was in great shape. Pace was good. Staff was friendly. We did call golf now ahead of time because when we booked the hot deal it said walking. We always have had cart included. Golf now double checked with the course and they included the cart. It had been listed walking due to Covid, but carts were now available. Great follow through by both golf now and the course. Thanks for a great round.

Quality greens

Pretty smooth greens. Nice tight grass on fairways and tee boxes. Didnt hit any bunker shots cant comment on bunkers. Good mix of easy and challenging holes.

Monticello Country Club

The best greens I've played on all year. Really fast and rolls nice. Monticello has always had nice greens, however the rest of the course could use just some minor improvements, like mowing the rough a little more often, and not have muddy cart paths. If they put in tar, it would improve the course a lot. The 1st hole had grass clumps all around the green, could do a tidy job of mowing.

Good course, terrible staff

The course wss in good shape despite lots of rain recently. However golf staff from any course we get it, you hate golf booking apps. Stop asking how much I paid and if you dislike then so much don't be a part of them. I'm tired of rude staff, such and Monticello was, either berating me over using golfnow or being horribly rude and non accommodating.
Every single time I show up it's nothing but rude staff as soon as they see I booked and paid online.
Good forbid I look out for my best interest and my own pocket book.

Reasonable price and the course was in good condition. The pace of play was a little slow but not unusually so for a Friday afternoon

We were welcomed by friendly staff members and were allowed to tee off a few minutes before our tee time. The pace of play was perfect we finished in 3:30. The tees and fairways were in very good conditions and the greens had some speed. My wife and I had an enjoyable day.

Pleasantly Surprised

Waited a year before moving here to play this course....Mistake! The greens were perfect and lightening fast. Front nine is older, basic parkland target golf with small greens. Back side is a little more open but the greens are a lot more contoured....really fun!! Hayley the cart girl was awesome; the guy in the bar poured excellent cocktails. We'll be back many times!!

Spring golf

Spring golf is always kind of iffy in Minnesota. Monticello Country Club was open and allowing gas carts on the course. I was pleasantly surprise about the shape of the course. If was fairly dry and the greens were rolling very fast. Pace of play was a little slow, but expected on one of the first "nice" days of the year. I would definitely give this course another try early next year.

Great Value

The course was in great condition and was priced very reasonably. Pace of play was not an issue as my wife and I played a standard 4 hour round. A couple minor complaints would be that the scorecard map doesn't indicate hazards and a couple yardages on par 3's seemed suspect (played the tips). Will definitely be back.
