Trees and bunkers both fairway and greenside present the chief defenses of the layout. Many players remark that Montebello Golf Course plays long. It is a par-71 test that features four par 4s in excess of 400 yards from the back tees.

On the par-4 10th, a lake covers much of the front of the green and wraps around to the right and behind the putting surface. Depending on the position of the pin, the par-3 16th hole may call for a carry over full water if you are taking dead aim, though there will also be a safe side of the green you can aim at as well.
