Inconsistent and unfriendly

To start off with the positive, the starter named Jack was extremely friendly. Other than that, it was an unsatisfactory experience. We were told no carts on the nine hole, even though our reservation included a cart. We also saw many parties on the nine hole with golf carts. To Make matters worse, they gave my brother a really hard time at the pro shop for missing a Club cover from his rental. For these reasons I will not be coming here again

Unsatisfactory

I've played this course many times before and been very pleased. I've also played this course many times with a cart and even though I paid for a cart through my GolfNow booking, I was denied the cart. I saw many carts on the course, even though I was told carts were not allowed on the Executive course.

Great for 1st timers

Great place to bring friends who are new to the game. Short course, not alot of trees or plants to loose balls. Relaxed pace. I would definitely come back.

Goat track

If you're a club member it costs $2 to play. That is priced about right. Tee boxes were dirt with craters. Pace of play brutally slow. Play 18 hole Monarch course, which is a gem.

Monarch 9 hole executive...

A wonderful 9 hole executive layout. Greens & fairways were in great shape and the only knock was the condition of the tee-boxes, but that's probably due to the amount of play.

First 2 holes are par 3's and pace of play got much better on the 3rd hole as first par 4 helped to stretch thing out...

Tonight Lema

The fairways were mowed tight. Plenty of roll out. The greens had been punched several weeks ago and are coming in nicely.

Fun and Fast

The course is amazing, the staff is amazing, the community in itself is amazing. Seems like a lot of veterans and retirees hanging out having a good time. Family friendly. Little Dog friendly.

Where did my tee time go?

I checked in at the pro shop across the street. When I asked about my tee time, the pro shop staffer said the Marina 9 course was running slow.

When I checked in with the Marina 9 starter, who didn't have a tee sheet, he told me my Golfnow purchase did not entitle me to a tee time?! He said it only gave me the right to stand in line. He then pointed at a line of 16 players waiting to tee off! Instead of starting at 12:10 we teed off over 25 minutes late. From the first tee to teeing off on the second hole, 38 minutes elapsed. 4 groups were stacked up on the second tee.

The greens were in very good shape, but the tee boxes were sketchy, many just bare dirt.

Ladies' Day

Tuesday was Ladies' club play in the morning so the pace was quite slow since they did not play ready golf and mark every putt. I think the Club leaders should encourage faster pace of play.

Otherwise, it was a nice day out.

Great local place

First time.here. Newer golfer. This place is nice. They where doing construction so a little detour around the cl b house but check-in was super easy. Staff was super friendly and answered all my questions with a smile. The range is s great has a spot for smokers. The nine hole course was great for a golfer like me. The starter paired me with a threesome or regulars and I had great time. Will.def be back. The greens where amazing and in great shape.
