My buddies and I played this course today, hearing, Montebello CC, may be sold and shutdown for Top Golf... Well, the course was in good shape, of course some typical bare spots, but not bad. The tee boxes where fairly level and not too many divot damage. Fairways where firm and fast, giving good roll out. The rough was cut to a playable level, some parts some deep rough, when you hit too far off the fairways. Bunkers are concrete hard (no take) which is common with many tracks right now. Greens rolled really nice, medium speed... I hope they don't t close, like what has been rumored...

Out today on a cool and even some light rain on a strange April day? Found the course to be in relatively good shape. No issues with tee boxes. Fairways had decent coverage and look good compared to i... Continue »

Out today on a cool and even some light rain on a strange April day? Found the course to be in relatively good shape. No issues with tee boxes. Fairways had decent coverage and look good compared to in the past. Bunkers will (IMO) never be decent until they come in and replace all the sand in every one of them (not holding my breath). Some light rough around the outside of fairways/greens but nothing to difficult to play out of. Greens were chipping/putting very nicely with decent speed. Great service at check in. Other than the weather an enjoyable round of golf.

Played here on Saturday (4/10) morning and was pleasantly surprised. Greens are fully healed from the last aeration and rolling smooth (I never blame divots on the greenskeepers). The speed is not qu... Continue »

Played here on Saturday (4/10) morning and was pleasantly surprised. Greens are fully healed from the last aeration and rolling smooth (I never blame divots on the greenskeepers). The speed is not quite there yet but the next cut will make them fast. Fairways are also looking really nice and many of the dead spots are healing though there are a few here and there but not nearly as many as they had before. Bunkers are still tough to negotiate but they have been dragged by heavy rakes leaving the bad ones with about 1 inch of playability which is better but still not great. All in all this was well worth the money and in solid condition for a full 18 or some quick twilight. Get off the 60 and out of traffic and sneak in some holes! Enjoy

Played a twilight round today. $21 walking. Course has aerated the greens 2 weeks ago and they still show the punching. So they were slow and bumpy. Maybe another 2 weeks they will be in good shape? F... Continue »

Played a twilight round today. $21 walking. Course has aerated the greens 2 weeks ago and they still show the punching. So they were slow and bumpy. Maybe another 2 weeks they will be in good shape? Fairways all had good coverage (some of the best I have seen) and while they provided little roll they did give good lies. Bunkers are still nothing to rave about. Tee boxes all had good coverage. Check in was fast and easy. Restaurant has outdoor and indoor dining. Great customer service from all staff members encountered.

Asked to fill in a foursome this AM. Had a great time socially but not great conditions. Everything seems dry and rough, IMO. Several of the tee boxes were ragged and many fairways have bare ground. We all know by now what the traps are like and that has not changed. Greens were OK. I think age and grass types of this course just don't do well in winter? Should I go back, it will be in the spring. But customer service was excellent.

Played today. Course is in winter condition w/o doubt. Fairways are thin, dormant and hard (at least you get a lot of roll). Some of them had been aerated and thatched recently. Tee boxes were moved u... Continue »

Played today. Course is in winter condition w/o doubt. Fairways are thin, dormant and hard (at least you get a lot of roll). Some of them had been aerated and thatched recently. Tee boxes were moved up to allow many to regrow, but caused no issues. No rough as it has all been mowed. I never speak about the traps here (just look at past reviews). Greens had been mowed and putted very well. Must have been aerated recently but caused no problems. Winter in S CA seems to bring out the best greens for many courses. Customer service was very good. They now start on # 10 and if you want to play 9 they start you on # 1. LA Co virus rules in affect. I walked and noticed carts all have single riders. Did not see any food/beverage available early AM.

Played MCC yesterday at 11:30. To my surprise when I got to the 1st green, they punched recently and lots of sand on the greens. If they posted at the Pro Shop then I missed it. Course is in below ave... Continue »

Played MCC yesterday at 11:30. To my surprise when I got to the 1st green, they punched recently and lots of sand on the greens. If they posted at the Pro Shop then I missed it. Course is in below average condition. The greens used to be the best part of the course but it will be a few weeks before they heel. Good pace of 4H. Fairways (not all) were thin/bare in many areas . Traps (see many previous reviews about them). Customer service was very good at all levels. Best part about this course is the resident rate of $20 to walk for residents.

When the weather gets cooler I like to join some of my golfing friends who are unable to play during the week, or don't like to play early AM. Yesterday was here. Very surprised that we got the round ... Continue »

When the weather gets cooler I like to join some of my golfing friends who are unable to play during the week, or don't like to play early AM. Yesterday was here. Very surprised that we got the round in in 4 H. Found the course to be in average shape. Tee boxes were good. Fairways (not all) were thin/bare in many areas and devoid of a lot of grass. So not good roll out or lies on all fairways. Traps are a discussion on this course I gave up commenting about a long time ago (see many previous reviews about them). Found the greens to be in decent shape but just too many unfixed ball marks. They now start you on # 10 as it easier for the starter to monitor the golfers. Customer service was very good at all levels. I personally would not play here again until spring, as I don't like playing such thin/bare fairways.

Crazy enough to go out to Montebello yesterday in record heat around 10:50 am.

Outdoor tables set up with food and beer specials. Happy they are able to sell items to help with their revenue and golfers were responding by purchasing beers and food.

Mask in common areas and single carts available.

Greens were surprising the best part of this course yesterday. Because of heat, I dare say they were running around 8.5/9. I been playing Montebello for many years, and this is the fastest I have ever seen the greens. It was a pleasant surprise. The rest of the course is pretty beat up. Sand traps should be appropriately called traps...because there was no sand in them. What does not help is the maintenance crew using their blowers to blow sand out of the traps. Tee boxes were unlevel and not mowed. The fairways were a mixed patch of grass, weeds, and dirt. Layout and location to my house keeps me coming back.
