Played today in a nice 3 H POP. Course is drying out. Tee boxes are all fine. Fairways have good coverage but the bermuda is beginning to brown in many areas. They could definitely use more water than what they are getting from the sprinkler system. Greens are drying out as well. They are not as good as several weeks ago and are not very fast when chipping, putting. Customer service is great, as always (thanks Mr Fierro). Still a great early (10:30) twilight special every day.

Got out early before the holiday crowds. Course is in nice shape at the moment. Good coverage on the tee boxes. Fairways are green (and dry) with some browning of the bermuda, but does not effect the lies or roll. Traps are still in need of more sand? Rough for the most part is cut down and playable. Greens are in great shape. Chip/putt with good speed. Customer service excellent.

Played today. Recent rains, warm weather and maintenance have this course in some of the best shape I have seen it, in a long time. Green fairways with good roll and lies (only occasional bare spots). Tee boxes just fine. Very little rough and manageable. Greens in great shape, chip/putt great with good speed. Always tremendous customer service from head pro Eddie. Recommended at present. Best rates after 10:30 weekday/weekend than any course in the area.

Played this AM. Course is beginning to go into winter mode. Fairways are getting thinner and browning out. Still some green and those were the areas that had decent lies. Tee boxes were all fine. Trap... Continue »

Played this AM. Course is beginning to go into winter mode. Fairways are getting thinner and browning out. Still some green and those were the areas that had decent lies. Tee boxes were all fine. Traps we know are not worth talking about, until they put more sand in? Very little rough at all. Greens were in OK shape, but putted slow and showed recent small aeration. It is fall/winter golf time in S CA for most courses and we cannot expect a lot? Customer service is always excellent at this course.

Played yesterday PM taking advantage of excellent twilight rate ($31 w cart) and final days of late sunset. Course is beginning to dry out in the fairways. Many of them have a lot of browning to the bermuda. Lots of roll out but many thin lies throughout. Traps still nothing to write home about. Most of the rough has been cut down, so no issues. Tee boxes were acceptable. Greens are still in very very nice shape.

Played this AM. Out early done early. Course is still in good shape (IMO) with good fairway coverage (yes a few thin spots) and lies. Rough has been cut, so no issues there. Tee boxes were all playabl... Continue »

Played this AM. Out early done early. Course is still in good shape (IMO) with good fairway coverage (yes a few thin spots) and lies. Rough has been cut, so no issues there. Tee boxes were all playable. Someday we will (I hope) have some positive input on the traps? Greens came back in very good shape after aeration. Chip/putt very well with good speed (about 8/9). Great customer service. Best twilight rate (starting at 10:30) $21 walking - $32 riding, for those that play later in the day. Even cheaper after 2 PM until Nov 4. Course closed this Friday for a large tournament.

Played this AM in 3 H. Course is holding its own. Tee boxes were fine. Fairways have good coverage, though some spots are brown vs green, but overall lies and roll were good. Greens were in good shape and chipped/putted very nicely. We have known for a long long time bunkers could/should be in better shape. Rough is not difficult to play out of. Customer service was and is always excellent from staff on M-Tues and F in the AM, which is the time we play.

Played with Mr. Kich on 10/5 at 7:20am. Not a whole lot to add to his review. Montebello is in average to above-average condition across the board, and is nowhere near the 3.0 review that was recently posted.

Greens were in great shape. Softer in the morning and firmed up a touch as the sun came out. Rolling really smooth and pure. The putting green by the pro-shop is a great indicator of the overall conditions of the greens. Stay below the hole!

Fairways were in average muni condition. They were definitely played thin and firm for the most part, but there were no issues with the lies and there was always grass under the ball. One a couple fairways, there were some noticeable dirt patches, especially on 18 fairway, but these were in the vast minority.

Rough was thick and sticky, especially in the dew of the morning. It appears to be growing out.

Tees were level. There were some areas with divot damage, especially on the shorter holes, but there was never a problem finding a flat patch of grass to tee from.

Like every other review, the sand is the obvious worst part of this course. However, while they were bad, they were consistently bad in the same way (very little sand), which made them fine to play from.

POP just under 4:30, good customer service from everyone. This is really fun layout that gives you a lot of options on a number of holes. Go play!

Played on 10/5 at 7:20 am. POP 4:20

I was a little hesitant to play after reading the prior review but must say it is patently false. Is this a pristine course? No. But it was nothing like the previous reviewer reported.

The tees were mostly level with good coverage. Par 3 tees had been shuffled around to keep good grass available.

The fairways had good coverage. They were thin in spots and outside of some small isolated areas were wonderful to hit off of.

The rough was thick in spots, the locals warned us they hadn’t been trimmed in a while and would be tough.

The greens were borderline excellent. A pleasure to putt on, rolling true and medium/fast consistently throughout the round.

The customer service was good as the pro shop and restaurant staff were great.

Will definitely be playing here more even if it’s just for the greens.
