3 hours for 7 holes

This is my second experience with 6 plus hours to play

The course is way overbooked and you can’t get a refund for the fact you can’t even get 9 holes in under. 3 hours.

I would avoid at all costs

SLOW

Teed off a half hour late. Took an hour to finish the first 2 holes. General pace of play was super slow - we finished in the dark (6:00ish) with a 12:12 tee time. Tee times were spaced out 9 minutes apart and we had a 5some behind us.

Course itself was in good shape. Fairways and greens were good. Lots of target golf - course is super short with a bunch of big doglegs.

Probably won't be coming back unless they address the pace issue.

Pace of play

Great course and value for money but the pace of place keeps getting worse. Front 9 took 3 hours, I will stop playing here because the rounds just take too long

costa Mesa - Los lagos

All staff members in the proshop were friendly and professional, they have a full scale bar, restaurant and their own locker rooms. The clubhouse is in a separate building from the proshop, but both are walking distances apart. Golf carts are well maintained and clean. Tee boxes are elevated but not level. Greens were fun and the ball rolled well for me. Sand bunkers were entertaining to watch my group try to get out of them. Pace of play is something I wish more Marshall's were around to speed up play. We had 3 groups backed up on the 3rd hole. We finished 17 holes from 1:15 to 5:15pm. I will be back in wanted to play the 18th hole but it was too dark.

Great value, good diversity of holes…

I would play here again, but be prepared for a long round. Staff were great and the cost was very reasonable. A solid so cal muni course.

Very slow play

We played Mesa Linda and it was incredibly slow for a Saturday. We came upon the Marshall at the snack shop and he was asleep in his cart to the point he was snoring. He obviously wasn’t doing his job. They need to be more on top of players instead to witness, this was an embarrassment for the course.

I would pay anyone NOT to play here

This course is lawless chaos. Backed up immediately off the first tee. The crazy part is they have a Marshall unlike other courses with terrible pace of play issues, but he just drove by twice and didn’t do anything about it. I will pay any of my friends $50 NOT to play here.

Horrible Course Management

9:06 tee time. Course is so poorly managed. Way too many bookings. When we arrived, we paid and were not told that they start times were significantly delayed. About 10 minutes before our start time, I went to check in with the Starter. He said that they were 30 minutes behind. Ultimately, we started our round 50 minutes late. 5 hours later we finished our round. So, basically a 6-hour round. Most of the players waiting said this was "normal". Hard to understand how the course manager(s) would not do something to correct the problem.

Pace of play terrible

Fivesomes should not be allowed on the course on the weekends. They are way too slow and slow down play. We started at 12:30pm and left the course at 5pm only on hole 14.
