Detailed description

Monarch Beach Golf Links, is a Resort, 18 hole golf course located in Dana Point, California, 45 miles south of Los Angeles.

Monarch Beach Golf Links first opened for play in 1983. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.

This links course has sand bunkers spread throughout its design. The course winds along a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean with views of the ocean and Monarch Beach. Two holes are located right above the ocean.

Par for the course is 70. From the back tees the course plays to 6,601 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 5,050 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 7, a par-5 that plays to 612 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 17, a par-3 that plays to 172 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 7, a 612 yard par-5 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 17, a 172 yard par-3.

The course has extensive bunkering, more prominent on the shorter holes. Have the holes have water that comes into play. With ocean breezes often a factor, you should consider this a shot-makers course.

#12 is memorable, it starts off with you hitting toward the ocean with a dogleg left to a large green complete with four-foot-high undulations.
