Awesome well groomed course

Come to Monarch Bay
There is something for every type of play. Large range executive course and the main course. Lots of wind on this Linz course but that’s what we play for is the thrill of the challenge. This is a must play Bay Area location. Stay at a local hotel. You have everything you need as a getaway.

Get a Marshal out there.

We asked to get a marshal after the front nine took almost 3 hours. That didn’t help. We had to confront the group ahead of us for slow play. Who takes 5 min to 3-putt!?

Pace of play not good. Even on a weekday

I have always liked this course over the years, however it was not so good this last time. Tee boxes and fairway in poor condition. Pace of play was terrible as we literally waited on every shot up to 5 minutes. 10th hole is a par 3 and they were backed up with 3 groups as we finished the 9th. I had to walk off. Marshals do nothing to help the pace of play.

Course conditions

I was amazed how flush (grass) the fairways were .. Other than a few "unkept" maintenence tee boxes, the course is in great condition .. I enjoy playing here ...

Decent round but I'd rather walk next time

Got put into a 3some with just a single ahead of us so we finished in 3.5hrs (Wed afternoon round). I wouldn't ride in a cart here because they are trying to geofence the par3s but the cart shuts of on random Par4s if you try to drive on the fairway. No signs indicating cart path only on those Par4s where this happened which was a little annoying. Greens were fantastic and somewhat quick.

Satisfied

Everything was very good or excellent; however the greens were recently punched which was a surprise. I'm looking forward to playing the course again with smoother greens.

Nice Track

Greens were punched and sanded but new that going in. Pro shop staff SUCKS. They’re rude the girl there couldn’t look up from her phone the whole time you’re checking in. No starter just go out whenever so there are twosomes and singles out on the course. Tee boxes very sad shape uneven ball is above or below your feet so I would just move to any are that was flat. Fairways great shape. Trees are still laying down instead of being removed and you can tell they’ve been down for some time. Hopefully by summertimes the course will be better
