Fun course
Fun course with some nice water holes and creative shots needed. Only two holes on the beach if you think it is an ocean course it is not really.
Staff was very friendly at all locations pro shop, snack shop, Marshall, etc..
No driving range but hitting area was good for warm up.
Thank you for taking the time to rate us 5-stars!

Dana Point Delight
If you ever thought about playing Monarch Beach and just haven't done it......don't wait! It is a tough but fair course and the conditions are wonderful. The fairways and greens are well maintained and the views are just as good.
I Played as a single as was paired with some local players. I couldn't have had picked nicer and more helpful playing companions for my first outing there.
Treat yourself and friends and book a round soon.
Thank you for taking the time to share your words and experience. We hope you have a chance to play with us again soon.

Fun Course | Poor Value
I will keep this short - if you are booking this as a destination experience you will be disappointed if your expectations are not set.
If part of your experience is driven by experiencing course facilities you will be disappointed.
- No Driving Range
This is hard information to find on the site and they try to sell you on this being a good thing. Would be passable if they had additional technology such as TrackMan, but the facility is no better than a backyard cage
- No food for early tee times
Both food options were closed in the morning during the weekday. This may be different for the weekend.
- Locker Room below expectations
The locker room was simply a bathroom. No sauna, steam room, nice toiletries, etc.
- Fairways Under Repair
A surprising amount of fungus and damage to the fairways at this price point. It sounds improved from earlier in the year, but the fairways are still a bit rough on certain holes.
- Not Walkable
The site says its walkable - it really isn't. There are several holes with significant walks through tunnels and up hills. Do yourself a favor and get a cart. This is particularly true if you are playing in a group with other cart riders.
If expectations are anything higher based on price point you will be disappointed. Unless you have a discounted round rates from staying at the hotel think twice before booking. You can play comparable courses in the area 3-4 times for this green fee.
Greetings kbishop33,
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us. Though we may not fully agree with all you mentioned, there are some valid points. We plan to add tech to our hitting bays soon. Golfer also have access to the Miraval Spa for a nominal fee, the golf shop carries some F&B for times when the Cafe is not open and we do have many people who choose to walk our Links course. As for the conditions, we work hard every day to solve longstanding issues and are closer to the standard we are holding for ourselves.
Thank you again for choosing to play and review Monarch Beach Golf Links - we do hope you can visit again soon.

Two fairways under repair
We had a great time and the course was in very good shape. The only disappointment (which we knew about) was fairways 6 and 7 were under repair and they made both holes very short par 3's. I understand these two holes should be back in operation in a month or so and we look forward to coming back.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Please do return as both of those fairways are looking so healthy!
Happy Golfing!

Great way to spend Mother's day
The staff was extremely pleasant , the weather was perfect & the course was in great shape. Only downside was a couple of the fairways had major work being done but we warned ahead of playing so no big deal there. Will be returning in the near future.
Bob
very nice course, just 3 holes under construction so we lose a lot of fun, hopefully they can finish the construction in next couple month.
Thank you, Bob for taking the time to rate your experience. We will be completing the project within the next month so you'll have to come back and see the finished project!

Cancellation policy is too strict
My wife and I get ill on the day (Mar 12th). Our TEE time was 13:10 PM. In the morning, I tried to cancel the booking, but failed. I made a phone call several times dire tly to the golf proshop, but failed to talk to the sraff working there.
We are very much disappointed to see that you charged full money.
Greetings,
We apologize for this experience as booking tee times through Golf Now has a stricter cancellation policy than booking directly with us. Additionally, booking directly with us allows for more flexibility and typically a better rate. We understand if you choose not to visit us again, but we do invite you to return at a heavily discounted rate. Simply connect with me, Jackie, if this is something you're interested in. Once again, we apologize for this experience and hope you and your wife are feeling better.
