Pricey
Too Pricey for my friends, and course needs some work.
This course could be a real gem with all the great views it has it should be made plush.

Easy access
The course needs some TLC, greens were in decent shape and were challenging. The staff are very friendly. I would recommend getting the Hot Deal on this course to maximum value. Had an overall fun time. Tons of parking.

Tee Boxes
First time ever having a playing sprain their ankle because the tees boxes have holes in them. Can barely find a level lie to hit a tee shot. Truly unfortunate tee box conditions for a course that has otherwise a good layout.

Beautiful, windy day at Monarch Bay
The staff was friendly and helpful. The range is closed until July but the starter let us go a half hour early since they weren't too busy. The pace was great until 8th hole. There was a foursome in front of the twosome in front of us. After that, we had to wait a bit on each hole. It was windy on the course, playing from white tees. Great views on the back nine.

Snack bar Restaurant
Going from the front 9 to the back 9, I stopped in to get a quick bite to go, and was told (@ 12:28 pm, mind you), they were out of HOT DOGS .. Really? I asked for any pre-made sandwiches, and was told there wasn't any ... Needless to say, I was disappointed! And hungry .. hmmm
