My god, Monarch golf club is surely a popular place to be, I rarely see people lining up at ProShop, almost every time slots were fully booked. Then I realized, by paying 50 bucks to play golf in a nice condition course, meanwhile you get the view of the bay ocean, seriously, why not ? They name each hole, and for Hole 18, it's called "Home", and funny thing is that you need to drive the cart all the way across the little bay to get to the tee box, it's kind of a long way home, hah. One thing noticeable is that you have play against the wind, 🍃🍃 aiming to the left of flag, cause you usually get headwind. Frankly speaking, there's not much design here but get to enjoy the bay view is really something different here at the valley area.

Be ready for steady wind throughout the course! Unless you play super early morning, the wind out of the bay is relentless, and often quite annoying. The greens and fairways are quite nice and challenging in this links style course. We played 18 holes starting at 3pm and were quite comfortably done by around 8 pm. This was during peak summer. Pace of play is quite ok and there was a bit of waiting backup. The vistas and views are spectacular. One could see the stream of aircraft approach the Oakland airport and of course the San Francisco skyline. To fill the heart further, the sounds and shrieks of joy from the picnickers and the beach goers from nearby waterfront - keeps me coming back. Notwithstanding that pesky wind.

Monarch Bay’s 9 hole course is beginner friendly, a popular choice for many juniors and families. The fairways are well kept, & the greens run at a moderate pace. Distance to the holes are around 80-200 yards (200+ yards are par 4s). On some holes, the bunker is placed to block shots from making the green. Juniors play free. Overall Difficulty: 5/10 (On days there are tournaments at the 18-Hole course, it may get pretty busy.)

Very busy range. Pls simply block the bays with their clubs and bags, but no where to be seen. Too many training and coaching staff occupying a lot of bays. Greens are kept well. Fairways to an extent but could improve, specially the par 5s. Came here almost 6/7 times and every time the weather is a mess with high winds in the PM. Cold and gusty winds make playing conditions miserable. Wonder what the situation in the AM.

I played 18 here today with friends. It always windy here so plan to be cold. The course was a treat and in great condition right now. Fairways good, green excellent…smoth and seem to roll true. I had lunch and it was good and served quickly. Thanks for having such a great track. Ill be back but better prepared for the cool breeze.
