Avoid unless you have ALL Day

Glacial pace of play with on-course dump trucks. 10:03 tee time, waited on every single shot (sometimes as long as 15 minutes), watched 2 groups play the par three Fourth. I quit and walked in from 17 tee after 4.5hrs and 2 groups on the 17th tee. Factor in dump trucks making a loop thru the course and 3-4 tees moved up so we don’t hit over the trucks en route. Pro shop courteously issued partial refunded which I was grateful for.

Some construction in progress

A few tee boxes are finally getting rebuilt. (They've always seemed to slope too much for a snap hook.) A lot of the high grass in front of the tees and between fairways has been cut down; now more of those dribbled tee shots are in play!

Greens were in good shape. Didn't see a marshal until the 12th hole. Never got a beverage cart drive-by. Never got to hit range balls; now I know about the range closure every other Tuesday morning.

Not so bad

"FORE" seems to be an unknown courtesy by other players on this course.

Fun. Great location

This is a fun course, with lots of practice areas. Course was in good shape, a few tee boxes were under construction. A bit slow but not bad.

Dangerous game.

. Stray balls seem to hit someone. Just a matter of "WHO", the unlucky one is.

Slow pace

We played 9 holes in 3 hours. Tee times feel a little stacked but staff did nothing to push pace of play. I will not play that course again

Fun Track, currently under maintenance

I've enjoyed Monarch Bay over the years and once again it did not disappoint. Many holes are currently undergoing maintenance which is a good thing although could impact your round if you find yourself in those areas under construction. Greens were rolling true but a little slow for my taste.
