Monticello Country Club

it was our first time playing this course and I was very impressed. It was a very nice layout with some easy and some very challenging holes.
Got paired up with another couple and had a great day.

had to wait on tee a lot. Ranger came after 15 holes to check.

I played as a single the first nine played quickly. On the second nine, there were two foursomes and a five some that were extremely slow. I finally had to quit after four holes because there was no indication I completed through and these groups are taken 25 minutes per hole to play.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a Ranger on the course encouraging groups to play faster. However, the staff is extremely courteous and competent and this is the first time slow play has caused me to have to quit after 13 moles.

this course has consistently been in really good shape
it is well taken care of
Christy , in the pro shop, runs a very nice golf club
always an enjoyable golf outing

I play Monticello several times a year and the course was in good shape considering the difficult winter and spring. The staff was friendly and the head pro exceptionally friendly and helpful. Excellent value and a short commute from the western suburbs.

Best course in Central Minnesota between Twin Cities and Brainerd!

Monticello is a very fine golf experience, a real jewel of a course between the Twin Cities and the Brainerd resort area.

I was really worried about booking a tee time so far away from the city specially because of my name Muhammad, but the staff was very kind and friendly. I had a wonderful time and the course condition was 5 stars all the way. The greens are so beautiful and roll so true, just in excellent condition. Thanks so much to the grounds crew. I will be coming back here. Thanks for such a wonderful time.

Pace of play was slow. Course was in good shape for early in the year. The greens were not very receptive. Greens very hard.

I know the course well and it sometimes plays slow but Sunday was ridiculous, 5 HOURS and 10 MINUTES!!!!!!!! Perfect weather, no wind, why does it move so slow??? Where is the RANGER?
Not going back until they get a ranger out there.

The most important change I have noted since last year is the friendliness of the staff. The head pro has always been friendly and helpful. This seems to be rubbing off on the clubhouse staff as well. Makes for an enjoyable experience.

Great course in great condition. Golf now process was easy with no negative issues. Will absolutely play and use both again!

It was a course you need to play more than once to find out where not to hit the ball. Narrow openings on some holes and big trees blocking shots to the greens if you are on he wrong side of the fairway. Challenging but fun. Very fast greens that look like they break one way but may not break at all. Yah, I'd like to play it again.

The fairways were beautiful. The greens weren't fast but were in good condition. The only negative was we were stuck behind an unbelievably slow group for the front nine. They quite after 9 or we might have given up.

Nice course for all, challenges that require some shot placement and greens that offer challenging pin placement.

I play the Monticello course several times a year, usually through Golf Now on one of their hot deals. The course is an average small town club style course. There are a few holes that need improvement including numbers four and five, were trimming some of the overhanging trees could improve the overall design.

The course Pro is very friendly and competent. My one criticism would be some of the staff treat nonmembers with a high level of disrespect. In an industry where customer service is critical, I would suggest the staff members learn to treat all customers with courtesy and respect. This may be indicative of a smaller town quasi-private country club, but it does reflect on the overall experience.

Despite the above criticism, which can be taken as a opportunities to improve service, I would recommend the course as an excellent value close to the Twin Cities.

This course is fun. Good condition. Good price. We had a good time. It was a tad slow but not awful.

We will be back.

Thought the course was a good value . Will play there again.
