Dirt Fairways

I wasn’t really expecting much, but the fairways were literally dirt. The green were pretty good, but we’re a little bumpy and need d to be rolled

Montebello (Country Club) Has Seen Better Days

Sand in bunker is hard and compacted. Some of the fairways was pretty brown and dried out. Only thing that was decent were their greens. At least those were somewhat maintained.

Run down course

The only positive about this course were the greens. The tee boxes and fairways were in sad shape. There was no sand in the bunkers. For a place that has a sign saying it’s “Illegal” to bring drinks onto the course they should at least have a cart attendant for people to stay hydrated. This course should charge $25-$30 at most.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and tee boxes. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. Thank you for playing Montebello Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.

VERY POOR CONDITION - FAIRWAYS ARE BARE

I’ve played Montebello a few times over the last year and today it was in the poorest condition I’ve seen it in. The fairways on many of the holes were mostly dirt and weeds. Most of the greens were in good shape. Their bunkers were as hard as concrete and full of weeds and Bermuda.

The young lady that works at the snack area is always very friendly and helpful. She’s a keeper.

This track is so perfectly located right off of the freeway and would be ideal if they could take better care of the course.

Worse fairways and bunkers ever

The tee boxes and greens are okay but the fairways are all dirt. The bunkers have no sand at all. The waiting area is crowded and lots of smokers standing around so forced us to stand in the sun.

I would not play this course if you pay me.
