Los Lagos at Costa Mesa Golf & Country Club

Took 3 hours to play 9 holes. Let too many golfers out.

Wait on almost every hole . Took over 5 hours for the round.

I enjoyed the course layout. It was easy to walk. I'm spending the month in California from Connecticut. Its nice to be out of the cold.

Most public courses are in poor shape this time of year, but not in Costa Mesa. The fairways are in decent condition, the greens run true, and for the time of year this course is one of the best public courses available. And it is easy to walk.

Felt like the marshal was watching us every other hole. Finished in less then 3 hours and felt like we had a dam time limit! Staff needs to realize this is a people business and you should understand and be more considerate. Just my thoughts....

We have been playing here for years. Especially during Covid, the pro shop staff has been amazing. They are organized, always polite and helpful. The starter consistently watches the pace of play - especially on the first tee which spaces everyone out. The course is well maintained and the landscaping continues to be updated and cared for. Restrooms always clean and open. The online website is user friendly and the few times that it wasn't, the pro shop staff fixed the issue for me. This also is the only course we play (and we play a lot of courses) that has good sand in the all of the traps. Greens are manicured and fairways in good shape.

This is the 1st time playing this course. I'll be back. The course was in good shape, and I enjoyed the layout.

One thing about this course that was a huge challenge for me on the front nine were the greens. I didn't struggle as much on the greens on the back nine. Was that because I adjusted or are the greens just tougher on the front? Good question. I'll probably be able to answer that after playing this course a few more times.

The greens on front were fast, hard, very sloped, elevated and the bunkers were well placed to make it very difficult for my game. I had to play very defensively around green. Because I tend to play lower shots with not enough spin, I couldn't hold the greens that I could carry.

My adjustment was to not fear the bunkers. I'm decent out of the sand, so either I ended up in bunker or in the fringe behind green.

I was 7 strokes better on the back then the front with 4 less putts on the back. My totals (putts, fairways and greens in regulation) were all about the same as usual.

Conclusion: If I played better on the back because of my adjustments and the greens are equally as tough on both sides... then I should score much better in my future rounds on this course.

It is difficult enough to get a tee time on the weekend these days, and at Costa Mesa that means you're in for about a 5 hour round. But for only $30 to walk about 15 holes, its not too bad of a deal.

The course was bone dry, which led to some pretty long drives, and the greens were rolling great. Unfortunately, we had to wait on every tee box on the front nine. After the turn, the groups were more spaced out and we were able to play ready golf
