About
Playing at Monarch Beach Golf Links will bring to mind the great traditions of Scottish links golf. The seaside course offers sweeping views of the oceanfront as well as a challenging and diverse layout. Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed the golf course, fully utilizing the dramatic bluffs and natural beauty of the landscape. The course offers small, rolling greens and tight fairways that are both kept in excellent condition. Strategically placed bunkers wait treacherously throughout the course and there are a number of tricky doglegs to watch out for. The course is on the shorter side but it is an excellent place to work on your iron game. Monarch Beach Golf Links' par-4 third hole is one of the most difficult. It plays along the ocean but don't let the views distract from the challenging green that is dramatically undulated.

Good course very expensive
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.
Somewhat expensive, but worth it. They were prepping for overseed, but it wasn't a problem except one hole.
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!
