Pace Slow for Weekday

Took 5 hours to play round. Hole 2 had 4 groups waiting at tee. Course needs to manage pace better. Don't wait until late morning to send out marshals. Keep pace moving requires continuous management. Get more to play closer tees.

Special Place

I played this course on my 42nd birthday with my wife

I’m an avid golfer, golf enthusiast and I take pride in my journey to become a scratch golfer. This course was not only beautiful but the maintenance the layout just the overhead view is gorgeous and honestly under price for it’s worth and what it brings to any golf lover.

I want to join the men’s club and make this my home course after church one round

SLOWWWWWW

If you enjoy 6 hour rounds go play Costa Mesa, they dont marshall the speed of play, most people playing the course dont know what ready golf is.

Resident for 30 Years - Gets Worse Every Year

I’ve been a resident of Costa Mesa for 30 years and having been playing Lagos and Mesa Libra since that time. I only play occasionally because it’s 10 minutes from my house.

This course gets worse every single year. Overbooked, lengthy waits, and poor surfaces.

If you want to turn a golf round into a 7 hours disaster then this course if for you.

Never coming back

Always overbooked.

Took over 3 hours to hit 9 holes.

At one point, there were 4-5 foursomes waiting at a tee box

Each shot hit resulted in waiting.

Tee box, wait…fairway, wait…layup wait.

Great course for the value

For a $29 weekday rate, this course is a steal for the course quality. Pace of play was good for a heavily trafficked course - had a 1230 tee time and finished before 430. Course is not long, but don't be fooled - greens are challenging with bunker placements and undulating greens. Course is in good overall shape. Only thing you have to watch is for errant balls, as the track is wide open with no protection, so players will hit onto other holes. Two practice greens and tons of range bays for warm up. This is an excellent value course I will definitely play again.

If you love slow play this is your course. 3 hours to complete the front 9. First time I've ever walked off a golf course before finishing.
