Course History:

Monarch Dunes has been named as one of the best courses to play by Golf Magazine and it is easy to see why. Truly one of the most beautiful courses in the San Luis Obispo area, this course has a lot to offer any player. It was designed by Damian Pascuzzo and Steve Pate and they kept many of the natural elements and integrated them into the course.

The result is a championship level golf course that is fun to play regardless of your skill level and break taking to look at.

What You Need to Know:

You can register your tee time by calling the number listed above. They also offer online registration and frequently put up specials. This is a very nice course and we highly recommend wearing traditional golfing attire. No denim or cutoffs please!

The Pub deserves a big mention, and it's one of the best in the area. The food and atmosphere were terrific and we greatly enjoyed our time there. The pro shop was a revelation and contained so many different items it was a little dizzying. Out of all the courses in this area, this is truly one of the finest, even though its fees may not reflect that.

Playing Hints:

When it comes to stunning natural beauty, this course wins hands down. The fairways are narrow and undulate between tall stands of trees. The vistas are incredible and you'll be dealing with a very challenging course.

The thirteenth hole was one of our all time favorites. You'll really need to bring your best game to this course and this hole is the perfect illustration of that. Your best bet is to aim left off the tee. Otherwise, you may find yourself at the bottom of a very large and very difficult bunker. The green is protected by dunes, making it nearly impossible to reach without a very good approach shot.

Next up, we really enjoyed the seventeenth hole. You'll be facing water to the left and water to the right and the fairways seem impossibly narrow. Make it to the green and you'll find you have your work cut out for you. From the sprinklers that stand guard to the rise that will kick your ball back, this 12,000 sq foot monster will certainly test your abilities and your patience. It is considered a coup if you can bogie the hole and you're a genius if you can birdie it. By far one of the best holes we've ever come across!
