Out early done early. Course is in good condition, despite all the heat. Found the greens to be the best (IMO) I have seen in a very long time. Fairways still have good coverage, good roll out/lies, but there are some thin spots in a few places. Nothing new on the bunkers. Maybe they should just remove them and make it a links course? Very little rough and what is there, is playable. No tee box issues. Course was clean and not overly watered, like many these days, so that added to the playing conditions. Customer service was excellent by all staff, who worked this morning.

Twilight action at Montebello and the course did not disappoint for $32 to ride from the blue tees. Met up with two friends there on a beautiful, warm Friday afternoon after braving the infuriating traffic on the 60 for far too long and arriving just before the late tee time. Greens are definitely the highlight of the course. Holding shots well, really nice coverage, rolling medium fast and true. No major tiers or difficult slopes to navigate here, and even when you see a break, it's probably not as severe as you may think. But they're very fun to play. Fairways had some nice coverage in a lot of areas (especially on the back nine), but there are still plenty of thin or burned out areas to avoid, especially on the fairways fringes. Rough can be pretty thick in some spots with patches big enough to hide your ball away, but other sections are not as bad. Tee boxes were a mix of good and very shaggy and poor, while the bunkers were all very poor. They just can't seem to get the bunkers in order here. Like ever. And that's a shame. You're basically chipping out of every bunker. There's no sand to take. No cart service all day which was a bummer, but maybe we started too late and it's only for the weekends. Either way, the course layout is actually quite fun and you'll likely use most of the clubs in your bag. The 18th is a quality closing hole as well, but there are a lot of fun holes here despite the overall conditions not being all that great. I would definitely go back to Montebello if the opportunity came up again soon. The track just agrees with my game and, with the exception of those pesky bunkers, never leave without having a good feeling.

Early out early finish. Out before the big LAPD tournament. Course is in good shape. Greens are the best I have see them all year (no divots wow). Chipped/putted just great all round. Fairways have good coverage and good lies, with roll, but thin areas outside of the fairways. Rough was all cut down and no issue. Of course the traps are still the same (oh well). Tee boxes were all clean and playable. Customer service excellent as usual. Still the best twilight offer at 10:30 every day.

Out early, done early. Course is still in decent condition. Found no tee box issues. Fairways are green, with some brown areas beginning to show, but provided good lies and good roll out. Rough was ex... Continue »

Out early, done early. Course is still in decent condition. Found no tee box issues. Fairways are green, with some brown areas beginning to show, but provided good lies and good roll out. Rough was extremely tall and thick throughout the course. Greens were in good condition and chipped/putted very nicely. We never mention the traps here. Customer service is always exceptional at this course. Still the best twilight value (starts at 10:30) in the LA area. And they are now going to team up with Golf Now.

Played early this morning. POP was fast, as rain overnight kept many away. Course is in excellent shape at the moment. Tee boxes are fine. Fairways are green, good lies and decent roll. Traps (stay out of them). Rough was 1/2" around greens and outside fairways, but playable. Greens are very good, IMO. They have full coverage, minus divots and chip/putt very well (IMO the best I have seen them). Excellent customer service as always. Still the best early twilight (10:30 AM) in LA County.

Played today in 2.5 H. Course is in good shape. No issues with tee boxes. Fairways had good lies and roll. We never talk about traps here anymore :). Greens had good coverage/speed and no issue. Personally, I think the City of Montebello is missing a great opportunity to "upgrade" some of the conditions (like traps) on this course? But I guess it gets enough play that they don't really care? Customer service is excellent at all levels.

Played early this AM in 2.5 H. Course is in nice shape at the moment. Tee boxes all fine. Fairways have good coverage, lies and roll. Bunkers (just putt out of them) are still the same, so avoid at all costs. Rough is not a factor. Greens are in good shape and chip/putt and hold shots very well. Customer service excellent at all levels. Presently from what I have seen in the area, they have the best twilight (starting at 10:30) rates (weekdays/weekends) than any course in the area.

Played today in 3 H. Course is in decent shape. Still not a lot of roll in the fairways, but great lies, due too plenty of good grass. # 15 is still CPO and will take some time to dry out, gets very little sun and is an uphill fairway. Tee boxes are all fine. Rough has been cut and no issues. Greens are in very nice shape. Chip/putt well with good speed and hold shots. Great customer service at all levels. They also lost several trees around the 13th and 14th holes from the storm, but they don't effect play. And of course, no change in the bunker conditions (maybe someday).

Was able to get out today and POP was 3.5 H. Very cold when we started but sun came out, warmed it up and dried it out. Course came through the recent rains in very good condition. No issues today with tee boxes. Fairways were still damp in some areas, no real roll, but decent lies. Rough was up (not mowed) and caused issues. We of course do not talk about the traps (LOL) and avoid at all costs. Greens were nice (as they had been cut) and provided good roll, chipping and putting all round. Customer service here, is the best of any golf course in the area, hands down. Even saw Fernando Valenzuela and friends teeing it up this AM.
