Monarch Bay Golf Club - Tony Lema Course

I was really disappointed how this golf course was over price considering that the layout the greens and fairways are not that good the greens did not have a true roll, After playing Corica South course Nearby that cost less I just wanted to end my round after the front nine. There’s so many other nice golf courses in the bay area and I will be avoiding this next time I come to town.

Great course with incredible views along the bay. Course is very well kept and is very fun. Round took a little over 5 hours but only because of one awful group in front of us. Beautiful views , great course, and not crazy expensive. Will come here often

Played super early here after dropping some family members at the Oakland airport. Never played this course but I have heard a lot of good things about it. Started playing by myself and eventually joined by another golfer after the first hole. The course is super wide, it is going to be hard to lose your ball unless your playing holes near the water. But besides that, you should be able to play most holes even if your ball goes far right or left. Green is in perfect condition! Staff are putting a lot of work to make this course even better. Was asked about the membership, if you live near the course you should get it! It is super worth it. Unfortunately, I live in Hollister :( I finally scored under 80 so I might sound bias about this course haha. But will definitely recommend this course to anyone since it can be forgiving, just try to avoid as much bunkers as you can if possible.

First. Book for golf now price but get to payment and have 10$ per person added for not being a San Leandro resident. Could’ve lied but they could’ve waived it as well since I had a booked price.

No one on ahead of us the whole time paying or getting refreshments. Played hole 1 and crossed bridge to hole 2. No one on hole 2. Play 2 and get to 3 tee and have to wait for walkers in the fairway who are waiting in team in green. We play hole 3 and get to the 4 tee and both teams are waiting at the par 3 for another group on the green. So in a span of 3 holes , the whole course is backed up. We waited 35 minutes and played hole 4 and gave up.

While driving back in there are 3 carts with Young men parked on the fringes of the #1 green . Not an indictment but just an impression….

No need to go back.

Poor staff can ruin a business. Telling me that they don’t lend Golf carts after 6pm when it clearly is in the reservation. My buddy has a leg condition and this was outrageous.Then the cart kid ask for it to be back by 8pm. College kid gets mad at the college student girl that gives us the cart understanding the need. At 8 pm planned on returning the cart but saw 4 other carts taking there time golfing. Was 8pm just for me? Need adult managers not kids running a golf course that need to leave early for school.

Beautiful scenery, good conditions and nice weather in summer. Highly recommended

Great views. Just don’t leave anything of value behind in your cart or it’s will be gone.

Nice round. Pace was good and finished in a little over 4 hours after starting at 6am. Food was good after the round as well.

Course in not worth 89 dollars thats why i play other courses I think these golf courses are being greedy and using covid to raise there prices but it wont last but i refuse to pay these prices because its not worth it even if you had a membership it still wouldnt be worth it shop around
