Monterey Park Golf Course
Well I have been playing here for years since the 80's. They have recently dropped 4.5 million into this place to create a double-Decker range with self loading tees, AWESOME!! They re-did all the lighting, they added steel telephone type polls (Got rid of the old Wooden ones) all around the driving range plus higher nets all around the range itself. They have lockers now to store your clubs while you are at work then you get off work and come and hit some balls or play a round, your clubs are there in the locker ready for action. They also re-did all the greens and fairways. On #1 they put in OB stakes on the right and added a sand-trap in front of the green and to the right up the fairway. Hole #2 seems about the same. Hole 3 they backed up the tee box and added a sand-trap to the bottom right below the green that is new. Hole 4 they left just about the same but trimmed the tree limbs so it is easier to get on. Hole 5 they added a sand-trap to the right of the green. In the old days I would hit to the right and bounce on left not anymore so makes this hole more challenging. The left trap is still there but a blind trap. The 6th hole green is nuts with added swales etc, it all depends where the flag stick is that day as the greens are quick. Hole #7 I used to bounce in from the right also but part of that 4.5 million was to fix the irrigation system. So no more bouncing in from the right side on 7 as they have watered around the green so your ball will stick in the rough. In the old days everything was dead so you could bounce it in. Now the Green on 7 is Sickly FAST. I hit the center of the green and rolled almost off to the left. If the flag is on one of the swales good let two putting :-) Now #8 they surrounded the tee box with fencing to protect from people teeing off on #9 so that is safer. I used to bounce in from the left on #8 also but it is more watered then the old days. On this day I was able to use the old school knowledge and still bounce in from the left side. But the pin was playing back a blue flag and I still 3 putted for a 4 ouch. Now #9 the FINAL Hole, they added sand-traps all in the front and moved the back left trap to the front as well making this hole more challenging. I drove the green in the old days coming in right to left mostly because again no watering but now if you try that move as I did you will stick in the rough and not move as they are watering.. :-)
Now the food at the snack shack with Kitty cooking it up is awesome. The servers are also AWESOME as they will bring your food to the range as well as by the Fire Pit that is surrounded by Big Screen TV's next to hole #1's tee box so you can watch everyone tee off as well as finish the round awesome!!. The pro-shop is crazy with every gadget you can think of and they also have a club fitting room near the range. I love all the upgrades they have done. Online deals range from $12 to $10 and replays just about $6 dollars or so. Now the thing about Monterey Park that sets it aside from places like Arcadia 3-Par & Pico Rivera Golf Course is you have TWO PAR 4's #1 & #9 so you can practice your driver and not just your short game. I RECOMMEND THE NEWLY DONE MONTEREY PARK GOLF COURSE and GIVE IT 5 STARS!! Good Job + the Owner is Very Nice!!
Also the ladies in the reservations department where you pay to play a round are very nice and professional as well. Take Care - Chris P.S. I also recommend the Mediterranean Club Sandwich & Fries. :-)
Amazing course and amenities
First time playing here. Loved it. Besides the great range and pro shop. Such a great price for the course. 1st and 9th are solid par 4s. My best part is that every green is in such great condition. Great great great. Shot a +6 with a triple on their hardest par 3 if I have to guess. It’s the double deck green on #7 or #8, tough hole. Will be back a dozen more times.
Nice Course & Good Value
Nice, well-maintained course for a 9 hole with 7 par 3 holes. Tee boxes had mats but it looked like most hit off the grass in front. Tee boxes were the only areas that needed a little TLC.
Many greens were a challenge. Staff was kind and helpful. I look forward to going back!
Great Golf Course
Excellent place for golfing and driving range. I come here often everyone that works there is very nice and friendly! The people that work on the course they have it nice and in excellent shape. Food there is excellent also! I highly recommend this place to everyone who loves to golf like myself!
Great course, bad pace of play
I’ve been playing here for years and it’s one of my favorite quick 9’s in the area. Course conditions are consistently good and is one of the top reasons.
However, recently there has been very poor management of pace of play largely due to the fact the course doesn’t follow it’s group size rules anymore. This last time, we were behind a group of 5, which was behind a group of 6, which was behind a group of 7. Round took about twice as long as it otherwise would. I’ve always observed their supposed rule of 4 golfers max. Thinking twice about booking here going forward because of this, which sucks because I love this course. Really torn.
