Monarch Beach Golf Links
A Robert Trent Jones, Jr., design, this course delights the senses as well as severely challenges all who tee it up. Thirteen of Monarch Beach's holes distract golfers with majestic views of the Pacific Ocean, highlighted by the third fairway and green that sit atop a cliff over looking the pounding 6-foot surf.
