Be prepared to wait a while for each hole especially on the weekends! We visited here once when they were doing a TaylorMade fitting event which was very awesome (we signed up in advance). They have an amazing restaurant right next to the course, Marcerro, which is absolutely delicious. They are also building dozens of glamping style, eco-tents, on the hill which are going to be incredible. Definitely a beautiful golf course in SLO with a lot to offer!

Wow, every time I come here I am underwhelmed, not just by my golfing abilities but of the service…read more I feel like they don't even know how poorly they are doing. That being said this review is for feedback not for criticism so please start by training your young staff to understand how much they impact our experience. For example, the last 3 times I've hear and order over priced beverages and food I have never received a single utensil or napkin. It feels like no one here was ever trained how to interact. The guy at the front didn't make any eye contact and has been on his phone for the last hour. Just asking, "please do better", as we're paying g for an experience and you're part of it. Thank You.

I came here for a lesson to get my driver straight and I've also gone to the saturday group class…read more Steve is a great instructor. He makes things simple and works on one thing at a time. The saturday class is super affordable and gets you some very needed practice. On the private class steve identified my big alignment problem and we went from there. I was able to expand on it in the saturday group class and just like how simple he makes things and doesn't push super technical ideas. If you're looking for a patient and good coach, check out steve

Jim is an AMAZING instructor…read more I am a beginner golfer learning how to play golf late in life and I had little knowledge when I started. I was frustrated at first because other instructors were often quickly frustrated that I did not know the basics. Jim was a breathe of fresh air! He was very patient and helped me learn the basics and is getting me up to speed much faster than I thought possible. Jim is a masterful instructor. You cannot go wrong with him. I HIGHLY recommend.

If you're looking for a golf instructor who actually listens to you, Jim is your guy. He's not your typical cookie-cutter coach handing out the same generic advice to everyone. Jim takes the time to understand your goals, your swing, and your mindset. Every lesson feels personal, targeted, and effective. Just one thing: you have to commit. Trust in his process, stick with the lessons, and you'll be amazed at how much your game improves. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a golf pro who truly understands and excels at teaching the fundamentals,…read moreMike Brabenec is your guy. He is, by far, the best. My daughter was fortunate enough to train with him for three years. The progress she made was incredible, thanks to his focus on solid basics that built a strong foundation for her game. He also runs a fantastic teen competitive team, which is a testament to his dedication to developing young talent. It's not just for kids, either! He has great women's groups that are both fun and a wonderful way to learn and improve. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to start their golf journey or get back to the basics and refine their skills. He's a phenomenal instructor!

Fantastic lesson with Mike this week. Really made me feel comfortable and sent me home with a…read morelibrary of exercises to improve my swing. Really eye opening to have someone who genuinely likes what he does and is good at it. I have had lessons in the past with a different "instructor" in the Bay Area who was not as into the craft and literally did nothing to improve my swing or enjoyment of the game. Thanks again Mike.

This definitely isn't a manicured, country-club course, but then again, at $20 for a round ( $16…read morefor seniors) you aren't paying those kinds of prices either. It's an OK place for beginners though with a few water hazards so you may end up losing a few balls and that might be something to consider, but just bring a few sleeves of Kirklands and you won't have to worry :-) The upside is that it seems like most of the people that have been playing there when I've been there have been super casual and friendly so nobody's judging you. Just doesnt seem like that kind of place, very chill. Operations wise, the greens are pretty slow compared to many courses but not too far off from the somewhat hidden practice green out behind the clubhouse/pro-shop, so if you are used to faster surfaces definitely take some practice putts back there first to adjust. It's not a huge course but there are a couple of holes that are at 200+ yards (rearmost tee) so bring a driver or at least a fairway wood. Carts are available but I don't know if they have pushcarts to rent. Overall it's a fun place for the beginner or intermediate player. If your handicap is under 8-9. Maybe head to Monarch dunes.

The fairways and greens are well maintained and play very smooth. They have a well stocked pro shop and a bar and grill for before, during or after your round.

Had the opportunity to play Monarch Dunes and the par 3 Challenger course recently for a guys trip…read more Although it's a bit tucked away from the freeway, our group had a great time and were happy with the accommodations. Both courses were in good shape and the greens were supple and receptive. We were one of the few groups on the course due to the weather. Still the course was fully staffed and welcoming to our party. Amenities from the club barn, café/restaurant, and pro-shop are well kept and customer service was solid. Overall Monarch Dunes was my favorite of the 4 rounds played over the weekend. I'm definitely looking forward to returning in the near future!
