Monarch Bay Golf Club

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.)

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 sh…

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.

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…

It's been more than 2 years since I've been back here. The golf course had some changes, not too many thick bushes to lose balls, the fairways are nice but the tee boxes are spotty. The Sand Bunkers have no sands at all. The views are still beautiful. It was a Friday morning, I walked in and had a Tee Time available, lucky me. Senior rate is $36 walking, but I forgot the golf course is so long, especially the walk from the 17th back to the 18th is a long one since the bridge in the middle no longer or ever finished building. Next time I would rent a cart. 6.5 miles walking in the 86F heat real…

Course is nice and fun. Just watch your stuff and be careful with your belongings around there. I left my wallet on the cart after the round. Realised in the matter of minute, went back the cart return staff wasn’t able to locate it. I’m not sure who to blame here but this was quite disappointing. Clubhouse & range feel crowded in some weekends, bit like a farmer’s market. Sometimes I see large group of people just hang out there picnic & drinking, one time even brought their own microwave?

Great to come get a round of 9 in with no tee time. It can get backed up pretty quick so be mindful of the pace of play. - You'll be playing off mats each hole (similar to driving range), still all in all nice to stop by and get a nice practice round to work on your game or pass the time.

The grounds are maintained well, year round. The driving range is always clean, free of trash and operates without incident. The folks at the pro shop are always helpful and kind. Monarch Bay is my go-to when it comes to Range Therapy in the East Bay.

Interesting spot to play disc golf. It’s very windy next to the water, and very little shade as you walk around. Some of the holes are placed in random out-of-the-way places that people normally wouldn’t walk, like, next to a building that has lots of construction materials and mounds of dirt. Or it’s in a weird unkept tree area that’s absolutely miserable to throw through. There were some fun holes that were extra challenging to navigate because of the wind, but that helps me play the sport better. It was awkward, trying to stay out of the way of ball golfers, since our course overlaps theirs…

If you want to play at fun yet challenging course Monarch Bay is it

This review is for the bar only. The golf course is amazing. Unfortunately the bar is lacking. Weak expensive drinks, food is mediocre at best. Luke warm burger and onion rings for $14 is not worth $8. Zero energy, empty Saturday at 1pm

Played here recently and this is what I experienced: 5-stars for the friendly staff, 4 for the tasty but pre-made breakfast burrito (perhaps to help with wait time), 3 for the luke-warm coffee (played mid-morning so got bottom of the barrel?), and 1-star for the course conditions: greens deathly slow and with numerous unrepaired golf ball divot holes on Every single green. If you like crab-grass fairways or hit the ball like you chop wood or are a beginner - this is your place to play. Too bad for the rest of us because if they spent any money to improve the course conditions you can get Scotl…
