Practice areas and bathrooms

Putting area available, but no chipping or bunker practice. Only bathrooms available are at the makeshift pro shop. None out on the course grounds. Already people not fixing divots. Fixed so many on a handful of greens walking to mark my ball.

Worth a second play

I lived in the area for over 20 years and now had to drive over an hour just to play.. Was worth it.. Will definitely play here again.. Still under construction so I know when it's all said and done, this should be a gem of a facility.

Amazing Course- No amenities yet.

Everything about this course is amazing except that the clubhouse is still under construction so you are not able to get food or drinks without heading next door to Topgolf. Overall a great experience and I can’t wait till the main clubhouse is completed. Will definitely play again.

Overpriced

9 hole course with cart on weekday $42, I can golf weekdays in area 18holes with cart cheaper. GPS not set up yet, temporary trailer for check in. New clubhouse in construction but won't be available for months. I realize Top Golf is next door but these prices do not warrant this location.

Nice afternoon

Went today because teeoff had a discount for $28 with a cart. I’ve played here before when it was an 18 hole course. They saved a few holes from the old front 9 and old back 9. The last hole a par 3 is new. Greens were slow, but in perfect condition, in fact every thing was in near perfect condition.

I would not pay full price to play here. Starter said it was $32 to walk, and a cart was an extra $10. Pace was quick, was able to jump in front of a 4some, and was done in less than 2 hours.

Very nicely done.

$42 is a little high for 9 holes. I think they should lower their price $30-$35 to ride seems about right

Nice course

The course played very well. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in excellent condition. Greens roll true but are on the sticky side. Temp clubhouse is in a trailer until the real one is finished being built. Parking lot is tiny as the construction crew is using half of it.

I only hope the conditions are kept up unlike the old Montebello course. A bit pricey for 9 holes, but worth it if the course is kept up

Course is CLOSING 9/26

This is the End, folks. Montebello is no more. The course is closing for good. You will no longer see 18 holes here ever again. Top Golf has purchased the lease and will be building one of their ranges here, chipping up the front half of the course into its multi-floor monstrosity, saving a few holes for their “extra” course experience blah blah blah.

Good Bye Montebello. One of most everybody’s fave lay outs anywhere. It was nice knowing you. Ciao

Worst conditions in SoCal

Horrible fairways, 50% compacted dirt. Bunkers look like bomb craters. Very sad. Used to be a good golf option.
