Monster Golf Club at Resorts World Catskills

I liked the course setup but in my view of not having food available during the week is not well .

Very deceiving and toughness of course. Lots of sand traps

Course is in great shape, sand is best around( not that you want to be in it) Greens roll beautifully and are true. The fall is a great time to play.

Just ridiculous to pay anything over $125 per round

After $40 million redesign and rehab I was expecting to be presented with a course that took the old Monster's character and brought to it modern design elements. The course is basically a totally different course and its not better. Gone are the old growth tree lined fairways. It's basically a bulldozed wide open dinner plate with fescue being the primary source of penalty. The rough is not rough. It's mowed to 2 inches and mostly green-brown eyesore. The fairways are ok but not as green as they should be for a course in a low lying area surrounded by ponds and a stream that can feed irrigation. Moreover there are numerous areas on fairways that have horrible weed growth. I caught a $100 tee time so I can tolerate this but it is unacceptable for a $250 weekend rate course. Granted they are far apart but Pound Ridge is superior in every way at the same price point. Perhaps the biggest nod to the Monster are the large greens. They have some challenges. The old monster challenged you to get to the green. This course doesn't really challenge you on the way to the green or on the green. I would estimate that it is 2 years away from growing in adequately presuming they maintain it correctly during that time period. $40 million to rehab and clean up the old Monster would have been amazing. The end result here is a headscratcher.

I do want to give kudos to the staff at the course. I interacted with a dozen people and they were all terrific! Thank you!

Played as a single on a beautiful weekday. No one on the course. Played 18 in 2:10. Awesome!!!

The 15th hole is terrible. It looks like the course doesn't know what to do with this hole bc there is no fairway. Crab grass is the fairway on this hole. Having never played here, this was confusing.

Greens in great shape and rolled beautifully. Fairways were ok, but certainly not at country club level. And for $250 they better be, but they are not. Overall course is in very good shape, but not worth it without a discounted price. I shot 78 and played 18 in 2:10.

No elevation change anymore. Some great hikes are gone. Idk about this new monster course

Greens were under aeration conditions but course was still very nice

I’ve heard so many good things about The Monster from my buddies that played it years ago , so I was eagerly waiting to play the course for 2 years while it was being renovated. I played in the fall of 23 , approximately 6 weeks after it opened and it didn’t disappoint. Great course , challenging but fair. Pick the right tee because there are some holes where water comes into play off tee.

One negative is I think that the course wasn’t mature, and I am hoping that by this season it will be . Im so looking forward to playing it again.

The monster has been closed for many years but the new rebuilt course is absolutely awesome

Being autumn the trees are beautiful

Can’t wait to play again

Thank goodness for GOLFNOW for making it affordable

Well the Monster was excellent. I highly recommend we need find the time to head up there. We stayed at Alder Hotel on the Resorts World Casino Catskills property. Shuttle takes you over to course its a total resort feel staff everywhere to help, there was guy on the range cleaning my club after I used it! Never seen that before. 6 sets of tees I played from 5 my partner played from 1 worked out well...6833 yards shot 94. Tee times are 30mins apart that is really nice touch. Carts have all the technology and are brand new like everything.
