Monterey Park Golf Course

This is a fun practice course for your short game with the exception of the first and last hole. The greens were almost too wet today and the slopes were almost impossible to putt but definitely helped me develop my putting, Would definitely play again.

The course sets atop a hill just a couple miles outside of Los Angeles which provides some decent views and landscape with reduced noise from highways below. The course is well-kept but every single tee box is basically a synthetic turf mat setting on top of a concrete slab. I prefer real grass, or at least the option, which wasn't the case on every hole. The greens were all aerated heavily and had deep aeration divots in them which drastically redirected my ball at slow speeds. Lastly, there are range balls EVERYWHERE on this course and I counted at least 4 or 5 on every fairway I played. Groundskeep was definitely slacking the day I played - good thing I play a bright red Bridgestone ball otherwise I could have confused my lie with about 30 other balls during my course of play. All in all, a great practice course for the value and decent location, I'd be back for a quick 9.

I always enjoy playing this course. The greens can be tricky, and there is a surprising amount of slope to this course.

The only thing I don't really like about this course is that you can't pay for your round and a bucket of balls at the same window. Also, there is a minimum credit/debit card charge of something like $10.00. If you have a pay for a 1/2 bucket, it's under $10.00.

Had an early tee maybe 30 minutes before sun break. I knew the course had lights so I that’s why I picked that tee time. (6am). They only had the lights for the first hole fairway. Had to put in the dark and play the next 2 holes in the dark. Would be great if they could have the lights on during that time if they are taking tee times that early.

Always a good time at Monterey Park Golf Course. Course is nice and green. No water hazards. I wish we could tee off on grass, but it’s fine.

Clean restrooms and the cafe is open!

Great location, great views. Small course and still has share of challenges in most course holes. It offers fast pace play and an excellent driving range for practice.

The speed of play was great because it was very early in the morning.
