Always a great track

Extra wet, and the rough is up which present a challenge you don’t normally face around here. With all the rain, the greens are in great shape. Gonna be top notch as it dries back out! Go enjoy the elements, this is how golf was designed to be played!

Unfriendly Staff/AWFUL Pace of Play

Overall course was in good condition. Incredible tee boxes, good greens, fairways decent as well. Pace of play was just brutal. 3 hours for the Front 9. Overall teed off at 12:04 and finished at 5:30.

Course itself is decent. Just too many demerits for me to return.

Negligence in dealing with formal customer service complaints on racial discriminationation

We’ve been a local resident for nearly 30 years and played at the course for over a decade, was part of the womens membership, and play there regularly. When we filed our second racial discrimination complaint to the manager about a specific employee who was rude to the asian american community, we were told as a “good will” our fees will be refunded and the case will be investigated. Our desired outcome was to receive some explanation as to why the employee treated our party the way they did and to get an apology. It’s been 2 weeks and there has been no resolution (no refund) and only excuses when we followed up with the manager. If you believe in equality and zero tolerance in discrimination or even zero tolerance to unacceptable customer service, avoid this golf course.

Course Nice but Pace of Play Horrible

Los Lagos is a fairly nice course and inexpensive to play. The problem is pace of play is the worst I've ever played. The course starts with Par 5s on Hole 1 and 2. By time we got to the second tee box there were 3 groups on the tee box ahead of us! At each of the (2) Par 3's on the front it remained at 4 groups on the tee box. Every shot there was a very significant wait. I quit after 9 holes & several other players quit sooner. The issues: Course jams as many groups out as possible. Additionally, the course is flat so many golfers are older and still walk. if you play expect a 6 hour plus round.

Read the reviews and if it is true then shame on this course

I was reading the reviews and was quite shocked to see a gripe about an employee being racially discriminatory to Asians. If this is true, Costa Mesa will be losing customers very quickly. Asians make up a big majority on Southern California courses. Make a resolution and solve the problem of staff before you lose money you are already losing. Sad to hear about this in 2023.

Very Average Inexpensive Course

Course is short, flat & inexpensive so the level of players isn’t great…this results in some slow play! Decent practice type course because it’s inexpensive!

Slow play is an understatement

I reluctantly booked los lagos knowing how slow the play is at this course. I'm done, no more, have given this course enough chances. They always over book and stack 8-12 players at the first tee. Half the people are crazy hacks and slow players with bad etiquette or walk the course at turtle pace. I get it, its a cheaper course. However if they doubled their price but spaced players out appropriately, I think people would appreciate and want to play here. This place makes the play speed at Rancho San Joaquin in Irvine look like the Indy 500. Los Lagos seriously, 3hrs15mins to play front 9 on a weds starting at 1150am is not only unacceptable but a crime. Will never play here again....i have given you 7tries all on a different day of the week and various times no later than 12pm. Ridiculous and shamef on you course management

Slower Than Ever!

I've played both courses many times and enjoy both courses.
This last Saturday's pace of play was the slowest on any course I've ever played. We started at 2pm and it took
3 1/2 hours to play just 9 holes!
I'm hoping they fix this.
