Golf Course Review Monarch Dunes Golf Club OLD COURSE Nipomo California

Reviewed by: Nickesquire, Cambria, CA
Walked the Golds (6337/70.9/130) with RGM2525 in 4H early morning. The front 9 was “hit it and hope” because of thick fog. Visibility was maybe 50 yards when we started and was up to a hazy 175 yards by the end of the front 9. It ended up being a nice day, fairly calm, around 75 and partly cloudy. However, $69 to walk on a Wednesday morning was sticker shock!

The Review

The tees were okay, mostly level with many needing some divot love.

The fairways were good to play from. Semi lush with a good cushion.

The rough was hit and miss. Close to the fairway was not very high, but there is plenty of thick/deep native rough to avoid here.

The sand traps were wet but played okay. I sampled more than my share during the period we were hitting in the “general direction” of the green due to the lack of visibility.

The large Poa greens putted medium fast & were firm. Very nice! Very undulating greens even when they appeared to be fairly flat, difficult to read subtle breaks.

Bottom-line

It had been almost 8 years since I last played here. They have reversed the 9’s. Overall, excellent course and layout. Good customer service from all encountered. Recommended.
