Monarch Bay Golf Club - Marina Course

I used to play this course semi-regularly to get my golf fix, but at the moment, it’s been trashed.

It seems like they’ve had an invasion of baby geese, so every hole that’s near the drainage pond is wrecked. The tee boxes are un-usable on most holes and there’s goose poop on many of the greens. Also, the bunkers are rock hard.

I’m fine with a bit of dinginess on a course, but this was bad. I hope they can reduce the number of geese and replant some of the tee boxes soon, or at least give us mats to hit off of.

March 27th was a beautiful day, the course was busy but not overcrowded with players. I was playing by myself but was quickly adopted by a thresome and we all got along great. Lots of newish players so I fit right in. Course was in good shape, greens were slow just took a few putts to figure them out. Overall a great experience enjoying golf and making some new friends.

This golf course is a good walking / back packing course with 4-5 clubs. My only complaint is too many ducks, poop is everywhere on the fairway, never seen so much poop on a course.

For a 9-hole course to survive these days, they need to find some more revenue. Here they have routed a frisbee course and soccer ball course on the same site. It would be fun to see all 3 courses in use at once. The frisbee routing crosses a couple fairways, but you shouldn’t be in big hurry anyway.

The greens were in good shape. The tee boxes are in desperate need of some seed or sod.

The course was so backed up -four groups that I left
And went to the driving range.The guys in the clubhouse said they were going to cancel my reservation with Golf now and give me credit but they still charged me 15.00 for a bucket. Not my best GolfNow experience

Casual, muni-style course. Enjoyable to play and great for groups of two.

Nice course. Good mix of length. Good course to practice your irons and wedges.

As someone who has just recently gotten back into golf, this has become a go-to course for me to get some practice in before or after work.

Pros:
- Course is very well maintained for a Exec. 9
- Hole five is a proper Par 4, that's forgiving for players who tend to fade the ball.
- It's Affordable ($8 a round if you're part of their membership program) $10 - 20 otherwise.
-Generally a very sweet, and diverse crowd of people.

Cons:
-Sometimes you have to shoo geese off the tee box.
-I wish there was one more long hole on the course.

All in all, Marina @ Monarch Bay is a great place to get your short game down, while still being able to drill a few drives.

This is an executive course with a bunch of Par 3s. The Pace of play is rather fast unless you are stuck behind disc golfers and soccer golfers which was my case. This is probably true on the weekends only not sure about during the week. Had to wait more then a few minutes at a few holes just to tee off. The conditions of the course are rather great for the amount you are paying. Bunch of geese turds everywhere though. It’s walking only but I have seen a few people with a golf cart. It’s practically empty in the early morning on the weekends.

This course is covered in bird poop. There are so many birds. There was a dead goose on the fifth hole. The pace of play was poor. There was also a lack of etiquette. A man interrupted my tee shot and asked how far I could hit it. Another guy was driving a cart all over the greens.

Weather was perfect. The course was in very good condition. The only problem was several spots which were very wet. Due to carts and maintenance vehicles driving through these areas significant damage to the fairways had occurred. I observed maintenance vehicles continuing to go through the wet areas and causing damage. Not sure why areas were not roped off by maintenance personnel. Maintenance personnel should know better and should have notified management of the problem. I flagged down the marshall and reported the situation.
