Never Again
Amazingly gorgeous course. Has a few holes ON the Pacific Ocean which are amazing.
Unfortunately it was backed up more than any course I’ve ever seen. We’d run into 2-4 other golf carts at every tee box.
After it taking 3.5 hours for only 9 holes, we left. Never again.
Thank you very much for rating us 5-stars!

Greetings!
We are, of course, sad to read your review. We hope you can come back and experience a more memorable and fun round with us, and if not we are sure our friends up the road will be happy to host.
Happy golfing -

Excellent staff makes for an excellent experience
Golf shop staff I had the pleasure to interact with included Frank, Josh, Renee, and Tony. I was in the shop several times - setting up my round, prior to play, and shopping for my boys.
All 4 were very professional and set the stage for a great golf outing.
Thank you to the MBR golf staff for such a great experience.
And, the course was fun, challenging, and a perfect spot to play some great golf.
We are so grateful for your review. We will be sure to share your kind words with our stellar team members!

Beautiful Oceanside Course
This is a beautiful course that offers, a challenging layout, but not unfair to a mid handicap player. The greens are very fast but true, so if you are heavy handed with the putter you may roll a few by the cup. The staff is super friendly and the views of the ocean and the surrounding area are great! The only down side to the course is the practice area, you only hit into a net not a driving range so if you want to see how your ball is flying do it before you get there. Otherwise its a fantastic course!
Thank you very much for the the great review of your visit. We hope you can visit us again when you're on the west coast!
Happy Golfing!

Beautiful course in Laguna
To start the course is in very nice shape, the greens were excellent, a bit fast and rolled perfect. The staff was friendly and were there to support you and made you feel welcomed. I really had a blast playing this course I would give it a total recommendation for anyone in the area especially if staying at the Ritz and looking to get in a round on a great course.
What a great review! We hope you can come back and visit us next time you're in SoCal.

Exceptionally attentive staff, accessible course for all levels of players, scenic views, mostly fine conditions. The course is walkable, a rarity for a resort course. Fun place to play.
Thank you for the review! We will be sure to share with our team members -
Visit again soon!

Monarch Beach
Course in poor condition. Marshall was useless in helping pace of play or those hitting into us (due to pace of play). Not a $200/ round golf course.
Greetings WRGasior,
Thank you for taking the time to rate your experience. As you know, we are experiencing a colder & wetter than normal winter which has resulted in our Bermuda grass growing at a very slow pace. Our greens are in great shape, but when you mean poor condition, I assume you are referring to some bar spots in the fairways. We hope you can visit us again in our warmer months to experience better conditions. As for our marshal's and the group hitting into you, that is unacceptable in our opinion. Our Head Golf Professional or Director of Golf will be reaching out to discuss this matter further and make it right. Once again, thank you for taking the time to review your visit.

Nice course
Nice resort course. Fairways weren’t great but greens and tee boxes were in excellent condition. Pace of play was excellent and the course host was doing his job. Overall a great experience.
3 Birdies
With a 11 handicap I tied my record of 3 birdies in a round. I played a month after the greens had been reseeded and they are perfect! The greens are rolling true. Fairways are like vacuumed carpet. Beautiful ocean views, especially on the signature hole #3. The staff is attentive to all my requests and very kind. Get the crab cakes on turn.
Thank you mckknight for the stellar review of our golf course. We will be sure to pass along the comments about the course and staff to our Team Members.

We are so very sorry to read that you experience a less than exceptional day here at Monarch Beach. We really do strive for fast pace of play and it seems you joined us on an off day. We certainly don't believe your experience was okay and hope we can try and host you again. We certainly understand your frustration. Wishing you all the best -
