I owed/paid a balance with my 2016 Federal and California returns. After discovering a mistake I filed an **amendment** to 2016 Federal and California returns and received a refund from both. The California refund arrived in August, 2017. I did not receive a 1099-G in 2018 for the California refund and when I contacted the California FTB they confirmed their record of the refund and explained that the 1099-G would not be sent until 2019. I am trying to decide if I should go ahead and enter the refund in my 2017 Federal return w/o the 1099-G or simply wait to enter it in my 2018 return. I am inclined to do the later as that seems to line up best with when the IRS will receive the information from California.
Any advice one way or the other?

If the refund was paid to you in 2017 you need to report it on your 2017 tax return - don't wait for the 1099-G.
Despite my originally stated inclination, after reading the IRS publications I ended up doing just what you have recommended. Thanks for your affirmation ...
