We waited on every shot.

NOPE. Won't go back there again... at least not until they learn how to manage a golf course.

Pace of play

Mission trails is a nice course when they don't overbook. I've been 5-6 times and it always it overcrowded. At one point there were 6 full carts of golfers waiting to tee off on hole 6. The works don't see to care about that fact.

If you are lucky enough to book on a light traffic day you will enjoy this course. Don't go on a weekend or after work.

Needs to stop over booking

On a busy Saturday, they need to stop making tee times 7 minutes apart as this is also a course played by beginners as well. One Marshall who whizzed by on a front nine that took us 3 hours. It's over used and crowded. The back is better in design and use as a lot of players quit at the turn because of the wait. If you stick it out then it can be worth it. Still this course should not take 5 plus hours.

Mission Trails slow

The course was in beautiful shape and surrounding area was beautiful as well with the Lake in the back drop on the back 9. The Pro shop and starter were scheduling people out so seemed to be a lot of double bookings. With the recent rains there were a lot of muddy areas.

Rained out

Course wasn't accepting carts on the course....walking only due to the storm. Gold shop personnel was nice enough to call me 2 hours prior, and let me know.

That's great service.

Waste of time

This course had 3 tournaments that went off in the morning causing my tee time to be delayed by 45 minutes. Since we got pushed back by so much we didn't get to finish the round only got 15 holes in. The starter was very rude like it was our fault that they were busy . I would not recommend giving this course your business.

Horrible game play and customer service

My tee time was an hour behind and their lunch specia is not even a special its suppose to be 6.00 and that does not even include a drink. It ended up costing me 13.00 for a sandwich drink and chips ridiculous.

Great value for the price.

Had a great round playing in 3 hrs and 45 minutes. The greens had been sanded prior day and may have been posted on line. Greens and most fairways are in pretty good shape and there seems to be quite an effort by all to make your round an enjoyable experience.

A fun course

The course was fun and a bit of a challenge for this Midwesterner. Hitting from elevated tees and to some highly elevated greens put me to the test. Had a lot of fun.

Get what you pay for

The course is conveniently located and inexpensive, but the pace of play is so slow. Was in pretty good shape. As they say, you get what you pay for.

dont expect any appreciation for your patronage

Rudest staff from the get go, pro shop guy was an jerk, even the bartender at the turn, they have no respect for me, and no appreciation that I choose to spend my time and money there, I will not go back, shame, had a good round and its a fun course.

Challenging but not difficult.

The greens vary in speed, with the majority being somewhat fast. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Great inner city course

I'm from Arizona and I had been working in LA Mesa for a month. Wanted to play golf while I was here . No clubs, however, they did have Club rentals. $25 rental fee which wasnt to bad. You get what you pay for.

The guy behind the counter wasn't the friendliest person I have ever met. He should of had a cup of coffee.

I have to say the course was in pretty good shape. Green were great. Pace of play for a friday morning was pretty good. The price was great to play. Other than the guy In the pro shop. Staff was pretty friendly.

I would return and play again.
