Montclair Golf Club

Need to work on fixing the greens, fairways and tee boxes.

I always enjoy playing at Montclair even though its a difficult course to play. Some of the holes are narrow so I lose a lot of balls in the woods but that has helped me focus more on hitting straight. Everyone on the staff is very friendly and courteous. The greens could use some work but I've seen multiple courses this summer with rough greens that charge more $$. Overall its my favorite local course. The price works, the staff is always friendly and its helping me get better at golf.

Played this course several times about 8 years ago and it was so nice we bought a home in the community on our return from overseas. Looking at the course now it has fallen in serious disrepair and maintenance. Greens are servely patchy, and tee boxes are practically void of grass on the common tees. Although I live in the neighborhood, we are seeking other courses to maximize our enjoyment. Costs here should be in the $10-15 range. One perk: Carts are in great shape.

Course conditions were quite bad - sandy or muddy greens with large holes were common and the rough was patchy with crab grass.

The conditions added to the challenge of the narrow and winding holes resulting very difficult and unpredictable play in situations that already required precision

Tee boxes were either dirt or sand. Most greens are in tough shape and hard to putt through some spots. The design of the tees is very fifficult on some holes. Lots of hilly paths thst are in poor condition.

Greens were in horrible condition (bare dirt spots, weeds, bumps, etc ) on many holes. Very challenging course to begin with, but this created an additional challenge that didn’t need to be there. Many of the tee boxes were less than desirable as well. For the pricier round, you’d expect better kept green complexes.

If you are interested in hitting with irons and your driver, but not putting at all, this is the overpriced driving range you are looking for. There are more bald spots than grass on the putting greens. It’s so bad they scalped the fairway on the 18th hole and made a separate green completely (which is also dead). If you golf here, you will be upset and regret your decision. Maybe next year it will be better, but isn’t worth $10.00 a round in its current condition.

As the title says, the conditions of the course are unfortunate. The greens got hit with a disease that is causing them to rot and get big weeds. Even though they work fully booked, the pace of play was great. It never felt like anyone was behind us.

The greens are awful, you can't putt on them. The greens grass is as long as the fairway grass. The tee boxes are like hitting out of a bunker. You couldn't pay me to play this course again.

For now save your money

Tees are lacking any sort of maintenance

Greens are atrocious (like it’s really bad)

Golf cart also died on me by hole 8

Just spend an extra 15-20 and go somewhere else until they actually spend some money on this course smh

I love Montclair. It is a reasonably priced, interesting course and normally fairways and greens are in decent shape. Unfortunately the greens have developed some kind of disease and are getting close to unplayable. Hopefully they will come back.

I really like the layout of Montclair Golf Course. The green fees are reasonable, there’s plenty of shade, and the scenery is beautiful. However, the course conditions have been getting worse over time. I can understand if the fairways aren't in perfect shape, but it's hard to accept that the tee boxes are so hard that it's difficult to even stick a tee in the ground. There’s hardly any grass—just dry, packed dirt.

What’s more, the greens have become a mess lately. They’re in such bad shape that it’s almost impossible to judge the speed and control the pace of a putt. It's really disappointing to see such a great golf course not being properly maintained.

I’ve played at Montclair several times and this last round was the worst I’ve seen it. Greens are burned and there seems to be dark green spots on several of them. I recall the pro shop staff mentioning that the tee boxes were being redone at the beginning of the year, but now they are either burned or uncut. Hopefully, the course will get back to where it needs to be. Really is a fun course and good value, but needs a little TLC.
