"Great course"
Last time I played this course a few years ago it had gotten so bad I swore to never return. A buddy booked a time here and I was not looking forward to playing the Divide based on my past experiences. Boy was I wrong. The greens were absolutely FANTASTIC. They were not...

Based on some of the recommendations on this site, I tried Monroe earlier today. This course has oodles of unrealized potential. 6725 from the tips is deceptive, because it plays a lot longer with all the uphill approach shots. Layout was very interesting — the Ross front 9 is typical Ross with very tough challenges around the greens; the Jackson back 9 is even more interesting and challenging. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. Rough was THICK and difficult. Bunkers were in great shape.
Two gripes: 1) No driving range. (It HAS a driving range, but it’s so far away from the clubhouse that they discourage you from using it.) 2) The front 9 greens are really bumpy.
I’ve read here that they recently re-did what is now the back 9. If they do the same to the front, this course can be a really great diamond in the rough.
My suggestion: they should pour more money into the course and raise the rates a little, so this course can reach it’s real potential.
