Monument Ridge Is A Wonderful Little Course In The Eastman Lake Recreation Area! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 30, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

The Lake Eastman Recreation Area is located north of Fresno and east of Highway 99. It's a long drive out to there and there are no gas stations and no phone reception so be prepared to be on your own, communication wise. There is a $5 day use fee and they now have the machine that takes plastic. Not that plastic dipstick! The plastic credit card in your wallet!

The course sits up up above Beautiful Lake Eastman. The views are spectacular. The little course sits in this wonderful but small area where the park road circles around it. The ground has gently rolling hills and these great rocky outcrops.
There is a bathroom there as well as one picnic table under cover. There is a water fountain at the start and another one by the # 7 tee. They have crushed rock tee pads which are fine for these short distances. The tee signs are the long, plastic campground poles with the hole #. The baskets are Mach I.

The course plays at an easy recreation level, nothing over 300'. There's little chance of losing your discs and plenty of Aces opportunities. Most baskets are set up in the rocks somewhere so it really is a lovely course.

Cons:

Cons: Yes, it is an easy recreational course. It's not designed for serious players. It was built for the families that camp here.

Natural tee pads aren't ideal.

The drive up here, while very pretty, seemed like 50 miles not just 20.

Other Thoughts:

If this course was closer to any population base, it would be popular as can be! Families and beginners would flock to it and rec players would love it! Unfortunately, up here in the wilds, only a lucky few will ever get to experience it. I'm awfully glad I got up here. I'd like to take it home with me.
