Monarch Bay Golf Club - Tony Lema Course
Played On 02/10/2018Great Staff, Decent Food, Very Poor Pace of Play
Had a 11:18 tee time on Saturday the 10th of February.
Tee'd about 5 minutes late.
Was very crowded but the starting marshal was great, friendly, and organized.
However, once you pass the first hole things change for the worse.
The pace of play was not poor is was extremely poor.
We started our round at 11:22 and did not finish until about 4:45 pm
There are no marshals out on the course to ensure people are moving along which makes a round of golf rather painful and hard to get in any sort of rhythm when waiting 5 minutes in between each shot. (course is not that long/challenging for a 5.5 hour round)
With that said the course its self is great.
The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were is great shape.
Expect to lose a few balls if you do not stay on the fairway as the native grass is extremely long and thick.
The views of San Francisco and the Bay are amazing and if the pace of play was not so terrible I would highly recommend this course to others.
However with the pace of play being so slow and no marshals keeping watch would advise avoiding the course, unless you are going to play early morning on a week day.
