Played this morning on the 9 hole and then brought my son back in the afternoon to play the 6 hole Par 3 but we played all 9 as the main course was empty. I like the new layout but not the cost. $36 to walk and $42 to ride is to high IMO. I could buy the Sr card and get 20% off but I don't play there that much to pay that much for the card at $50. The Par 3 was reasonable at $14 for me and $8 for him. The 9 hole is in good shape from tee to green. And the bunkers that were never there on the old course are here and they are great. As most know by now 8 holes from the original course were used to make up the course with the 9th hole being a Par 3 which I think IMO they made to short and easy. Customer service excellent but no services and no bathrooms out on the 9 yet. But for a quick round after work or early AM perhaps one might feel the fee is OK. As for the Par 3 no hole is over 90 yards and 2 of them are over water (#3 and #9) using the water hole from old #10 and water hole from old # 15. But its an enjoyable course for juniors and beginners IMO and its all walking. There are some nice elevation changes and the greens are very nice and large. They only allow 6 holes during the day but have 9 at night which are lighted. Hole # 8 is a downhill hole using the 4th green from the 9 hole and thats the reason they can't allow play during the day. But its a golf course and I am glad they resurrected part of the old Montebello course instead of turning into homes or retail centers. And if you are hungry and want to spend more $$$ Top Golf is a short walk across the street from the 9 hole course.
