Pace of play ouch

Had a 9:30 tee time at didn’t get off first tee until 10:10. On hole 3 a par three there were 4 groups of 5 in front of us. 3 hours to play 9 holes. Just left after 9 because it was so brutally slow.

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.

So so

I love this course but the greens had recently been aerated so putting was pretty hilarious. I didn’t notice anything mentioning this and feel green fees should have been discounted a little for this.

But overall it was a good round. I love the two courses here.

Overall I was happy. The greens were punched 1 week prior, but in decent condition. Fairways had several bare spots.

Desperately slow round, 5.5 hours.

Five and a half hours for a round is way too slow. People need to learn to hit a ball before attempting this course.

The Marshal said 5 1/2 hours is not unusual here. Oh dear!

9:20 tee time and didn’t tee off til 10

Not sure how this happens but it ruins the experience for everyone. We have all been in a round at 5+ hours and it’s a brutal experience. Letting groups of 5 out with no carts is unforgivable. Not having marshals driving around and telling folks to keep up with pace of play is a big miss. We walked off after the 8th hole. It took 2.5 hrs to play 8 holes; from 10am - 12:30. Waiting on every tee box. Really disappointing that they oversell this course and jam as many people in as possible. Cam’t imagine what the afternoon backup is.

The course is in pretty good shape and the greens were great, so bummed it took so long.

Cost effective but very slow

Pretty good course conditions but still too many players on the course. With a pre-twilight tee time, 3 hrs to finish the front 9.

Pace is terrible! 5 1/2 hours for a round of golf.

The pace is terrible! Tee time at 12::30p, finished around 6pm. Fee is $47 walking, cart additional $26 each person. That’s a lot for a cart charge! Total $73 for this course is not worth the money !

Terrible. 5.5 hour rounds are unacceptable.

3 hours for the first 9 holes, overall 5.5 hours for 18 holes - is totally un-acceptable.

The slowest course ever - 5.5 hours for a round - over-packed with slow players. Even the Marshall said this was not unusual, as we left.

If you want to play golf - instead of always standing around in a queue of 2-4 playing groups waiting to play the next hole - choose a different course.

For me? - - never again at Costa Mesa CC, Los Lagos. Disgraceful.

Never playing here again

Every round is so slow. Played on a Friday morning and it took forever. It makes golf not fun. Greens were awful. Tee boxes were awful. Never playing another round here.

First time, but will be back soon

Nice, weather nice condition, Nice staff. Nice Design, not hard but not easy just about right.

If there is something bad, a little over watered in few holes(1 or 2), no view(which for the public course, is normal) Am I asking too much?

Overall a very good public course with 36 holes in nice weather area and good price.
