Great place to play and practice!

The driving range is really nice. Very clean, good mats, balls are in good shape, and price is reasonable, $16 for 100 balls. They have an auto tee system on the range that is very convenient to use. Love not having to bend down to tee up a ball. The course layout is challenging, really enjoyed it. There are elevation changes, nice bunkering, fairways & greens are in excellent shape. The greens are a good size for the length of the hole, they are very fast, with some being multi-tiered with a lot of slope. Very fun and challenging to putt! Overall, the course is well maintained with lots of trees that lend to a higher end feel compared to most executive courses.

Don't pass up the snack bar! The food is great, no joke. The egg drop sandwich is delicious and the coffee is superb. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

The only thing I would encourage the staff to improve are the tee boxes. The current ones are not bad, but the ground surrounding the tee boxes is a bit beat up which detracts a bit from the overall great course conditions. Honestly, this course and its amenities is a great value. I encourage anyone to play here. We had a somewhat slow twosome in front of us but still finished in about an hour and a half. Will definitely play here more often.

Always fun to play at Monterey Park GC

I played here after almost a year and had a lot of fun. My buddy made a hole-in-one on the 6th hole.

Greens were always pretty slow but this time it was pretty fast so made the round little difficult. The pin placement on the last 3 holes were terrible and ended the round with a bitter taste but overall it was great time outside. One bad thing is that it took too long from the beginning. I found out that the 2 groups in front of us were at least 12-16 people (don't think all of them played simultaneously) buy surely it helped with the slowness.

Take your flashlight.

The overall course is good but you can easily loose a lot of golf balls so be aware especially playing at night.

Raised their prices and it was already over priced

Over priced for such a tiny course. Go play Roosevelt for 11 bucks Instead

Playing Monterey Park with friends

The course is well kept and very enjoyable for its proximity to downtown. It was my friend’s first time playing a round of golf, and I was happy to bring them here. As a more veteran player, this course is still a decent round. We had a GREAT time, and enjoyed a delicious burger and drink after our game. The perfect way to spend the day!

Nice little course

A little bit of a letdown hitting of off mats but other than that it's a pretty cool course. Fairways are pretty good greens were great. I played midweek and finished in 1:15.

Forgiving course

Has a good protective layout, if someone has a bad shot you won’t get hit 😁 Has diverse hole distances where you can use several different clubs.

I did mobile check-in, but they told me to pay, so I had to check-in again. And when I was on the 3rd hole, a really big dog came running from the 4th hole and I was so scared.
