Monarch Dunes featured in FORE MagazineSunday, April 09, 2006The Southern California Golf Association's FORE Magazine features Monarch Dunes Golf Club in their March/April 2006 issue.FORE's Katie Denbo shares in her article that Nipomo's newest coastal course offers players nature and nurture. Some excerpt from her article are included below: While the goal of being "best in class" may be a common one, Monarch Dunes Golf Club, the newest addition to the Southland's golf course roster, is confident that it can not only raise the standard of golf, but change the face of the Central Coast as well. "It's a Scottish highlands-style links golf course, unlike most other courses in California," says General Manager Matt Kalbak of the KemperSports-managed course. "We're the anti-Augusta; we don't want perfect emerald-green conditions. We want natural." Damian Pascuzzo's newest design is nearly 200 miles north of Los Angeles in Nipomo, the seventh new course to open in San Luis Obispo County in 12 years. Monarch Dunes will eventually have a total of 45 holes of golf. A nine-hole executive course with seven par 3s and two par 4s is planned for completion by fall 2007, and an additional 18-hole championship course will be completed further down the road to accommodate its hopes of hosting major tournaments. The property has also received plan approval for a 200-500 room golf resort and spa. Article: Links to the Coast FORE Magazine, Katie Denbo Tags: San Luis Obispo Central Coast Golf |
