Monarch Bay Golf Club Tee Times

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 really drained me although the sea breezes were cooler. The green is quite slow because the grass is thicker than most golf course. The golf course is still under renovation, quite a few holes are under construction. The fairways are nice, although some are still being fixed with new grass. Regardless, it's still a very nice golf course for the price. The pace was quite slow, but not bad for a Friday, it's almost 5 hr, Tee Off at 9:36 and out at 2:20PM. I would come back again when I have a day off, not sure how slow it would be on the weekends.
