It’s alright
Not worth $280. Cool hole on the water, some bare spots on fairways greens were in great shape. I thought it would have been better

Beautiful Course to Play
Monarch Beach is easily one of my favorite courses. Each hole is unique and challenging. Gorgeous views of the ocean from multiple holes, especially the third hole, which is adjacent to a beach. Kaitlyn in the pro shop also adds a great touch to the experience with her wonderful customer service. She even remembered me from about six weeks ago when she put me in touch with someone who could order a special shirt for my husband. She could recall very specific details of our prior conversation. Very impressive! I can’t wait to play again in two weeks!

Excellent course a must play if in area
Primo resort course. As good as it gets for public access golf. Only eclipsed by Pelican Bay according to Zach. The course and greens were in top notch condition. Two cool holes just above beach. This too is a superbly memorable course. Pay a little extra. It’s worth the experience.

First 4 holes were exciting. Design/layout severely drops off after that. Very short course, I couldn’t count the number of straight forward par 4’s. Pretty location, but a pure moneymaker and not for the avid golfer. Good for out of towners.

Good Choice
Very nice round. Conditions were good. Greens and tee boxes were in good shape. Fairways decent, challenging layout. My round was extra enjoyable due to pairing with sime very nice members. Joy, the starter and Chad and Scott who helped with my car and clubs were very professional.
Thank you very much for taking time to review your round with us. We are going to share your kind words regarding our Team Members with them. We hope you have a chance to visit us again.

Great Course. Better Staff
Great SoCal course. I probably have reason to feel insecure with the state of my game playing a course like. That being said the course is beyond beautiful and the staff was great. Definitely would recommend to anyone.
Missing Piece
First time playing this course, and it was a nice layout from the back tees, with fairways and greens in really excellent condition. Staff were great, and its so spectacular to play. What's missing is a driving range of some sort to warm up on before play. The four little mats off in the corner of the putting green don't cut it for me at least. And the older we get, the more we need to loosen up and swing clubs before playing. For this kind of money, I expect a place to warm up.
Greetings!
Thank you for taking the time to review your visit with us. We understand the frustration of not having a traditional driving range though are happy to see you enjoyed the layout, conditions and our valued team members. We hope you have a chance to golf with us again.

Quintessential Coastal Orange County
Monarch Beach Golf Links is a perfect combination of upscale, beautiful, and relaxed. Just a good vibe all around. So much so that I signed up for their Links card membership today. Super stoked to call this course home!
Greetings,
We couldn't agree more! Very grateful for your patronage and looking forward to having you around the Beach more as a Links Cardholder.
Happy Golfing!!

Grass was tough and hard to take divot and very little roll. Greens mostly elevated and well bunkered. Low handicap golfer type course. Greens are firm and undrulated.

Friendly staff all around .
a golf staffer needs to get in a cart and patrol course for golfers playing 50 yards behind you and rushing your shots.

Thanks for taking the time to review your visit with us. We will certainly bring your concern regarding players behind you pressuring you to our Player Assistants attention.

Fun atmosphere friendly staff exclusive experience
I have played here a handful of times but this last time was such a good experience I felt I needed to write a review. Everyone from the valets, pro shop, starters, beverage cart were attentive, friendly, and accommodating. Their course is maintained like a private club and the greens were so fast, it took me a hole or two just to get used to the speed. My favorite holes were the ocean holes which are so close to the beach you can watch the waves crash. Overall a very upscale experience and we finished in 4 hours which was nice.
