    Overview

    Monroe Golf Club premiered in 1924 with a spectacular Donald Ross design routed as two distinct nines with the front nine facing north-south and the back east-west. The course’s adventurous layout features gently sloping fairways that follow the land’s natural contours, forcing creativity and attention in every shot, as apparently open driving areas are protected by cross bunkers and tall fescue and large sloped greens encourage accurate approaches from pinpoint angles. The course has undergone renovations by famed architects over the years, including work on the fairway undulations by Brian Silva in the 1980s and bunker renovations from Gil Hanse in 2008. Like many other classic courses of this era, the club is also in the process of removing hundreds of trees with the interest of returning the course to its original Ross character.
