Early out at Montebello this morning playing the Blue Tee’s. Table set up at the main walking entrance confirming tee times. Everyone wearing masks prior to teeing off. CC only no cash. From what I was told the course re-opened last Saturday and was walking only. Today they allowed carts as single riders. Carts are standard as they don’t have GPS. Range and practice greens are also closed. They did have pre-packed food for purchase although I did not see what was available. As for the course, well overall pretty disappointing. Tee boxes were mostly dirt with a mix of dead grass. Fairways were the same a lot of dirt patches mixed with dead grass and patches of green grass. There was some rough which was inconsistent, they also had old clippings which made things worse if you were there. Greens were ok albeit really slow. I was not in any bunkers but was told everyone plays them as a free drop. Not sure of the accuracy of that, did not affect me as I wasn’t in any of them today. I can say that the few I looked at had zero sand and looked like concrete. Additionally they have flipped 9’s. The old 18 plays 430 yards up a slight incline so it was a good finishing hole. Now 18 is a P3 from about 100 yards. I did throw a SW in there to about 6 inches which was a decent way to end the round. If it wasn’t for the fact I was playing with some buddies I would be mad getting up that early for the course conditions. Nevertheless I hope they figure things out and make the necessary corrections. POP was 3.5 hours.

Course was in very good shape even tho there is some browning. Tee boxes in good shape, fairways had a few dry spots but rolled well. Greens were lush and ran quick with a few bumpy ones. Bunkers did not have any sand. POP was close to 5 hrs, one group in front was a hole behind until the marshal moved them along.

All in all a good day to golf.

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. 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.
