I played Monarch yesterday (3/2) when it looked like the rain was going to hold off until sunset. I had not been out to Monarch in a while and was quickly reminded of why I love it. It has a great “OC” vibe and the friendliest staff around (Arroyo Trabuco is a close 2nd!). Eric and Frank in the golf shop couldn’t have been more helpful. The beverage cart girls even went above and beyond for my group! Though the rain scaring golfers away had something to do with it my foursome was able to finish in just under 4 hours teeing it at 1:30 and finishing just before the sunset and the rain. The rain will help the conditions which were still good considering the winter season and lack of precipitation. The greens were phenomenal and lightning fast which is rare in Orange County. Highlight of the day, as is the norm out there, was playing number 3 and 4 out on the beach in the afternoon sun. Looking forward to getting back out there next Friday afternoon
