Monarch Beach Golf Links

The course was challenging but can manage. Since rain was expected but didn't there was no crowd. The only drawback is there is no driving range but have given driving cages which was adequate.

Enjoyable course, The rack rate is obnoxious but thanks to Golfnow.com, I received a reasonable price on greens' fee. Don't be misled and think that this is an ocean course. Only two holes are near the beach. But on a sunny day, the views are still wonderful. And even though it's not the most challenging course, it's design will appeal to the strategic thinking golfer.

Two holes unplayable including #18, so it is 'fresh' in my memory. The amount of droppings from 100 yards in, but especially on the green, made the hole -again- unplayable.

Glad I got a 1/2 price deal for a last minute round.. The other 16 presented a fun round. Good true rolling greens. Local Knowledge Required on reading greens!

Solving the Coot droppings problem would make this a return venue.

Pace was average but we did play on Sunday with an $80 savings for twilight start around noon. Enjoyed the day and the course very much. It sure made my bunker shot better....had enough practice!!

From complimentary valet parking o check in, to tee time, to finish, and to picking up the car, it was 5 star treatment. Everyone was very attentive both before and after the round. Despite five days of rain, the course was in excellent condition although it was soggy around the edges. Bunkers and greens were top notch and no problems with putting.

The views of the ocean hole were worth the price of the green fees. The corse required all clubs in the bag. When I am in the area again I will for sure try to play this track again.

Played Monarch Beach Golf Links on 11/19/12 and the course could not have been in better shape. The greens were perfect! Great weather and great golf course. I know the regular price is steep, but deals can be found. Teed off at 7:10 AM and only 4 golfers were on the course ahead of us. Will be back there again!

Last minute find! Pace of play was slower than necessary.

everything was really enjoyable, easy, if they could do one thing, maybe a sign or two from the PCH when actually pulling off the freeway, unless you know where it is, can be a little tricky finding it exactly, but really enjoyable.

The course was in very good shape. Greens were a little soft but that was due to the dry weather we have been having and the fact that they were keeping them watered. The fairways were in nice shape as well and the pace of play was around 4 hours or so. I will definitely play the course again. Some of the ocean views are spectacular! The new owners seem to have a handle on taking care of the course.

We played Sept. 3, and the course was being prepared for overseeding. The fairway grass was completely dead, but it was still very playable. It was very disappointing because this a very nice couse, but it loses its appeal when it is in this condition. It would be nice if the course would provide this type of info when booking on Golf Now.

I like to treat myself once a year to this course, typically in great shape but it was late summer so course was a little beat up and they had just punched the greens. Staff is over the top friendly. I wish they would get real on their price, there are too many really good courses to play in Orange County for less to pay that on a regular basis. It's a fun course when it's in shape, there are a lot of birdie holes and chances to go low.

There are beautiful views and some very interesting holes. A couple were very difficult for those of us who don't hit the ball as straight as we should, but it didn't detract from the experience. We played with a local regular who helped us through the course and made it even more enjoyable. My wife says they had the best fish tacos she's ever had. All in all it was a great day!

FANTASTIC VIEW OF THE OCEAN ON #3. CONDITION COULD STAND IMPROVEMENT
