Los Lagos at Costa Mesa Golf & Country Club

Tee off time was 1:33pm but started after almost 20 minutes late 1:50pm.

As usual,

Took the 3 hours to finish front 9 and another 2 and half hours of back 9.

Some hard and fungi tee box are required the maintenance.

Would be better to a little shorten par three 7th hole in order to save time .

Always at least 3 or 4 teams are backing up.

Mike in golf shop is great and Jose in the restaurant is also great

Came to Costa Mesa on business and this course was closest to the Airbnb. Played the Mesa Linda in a five some. They let a lot of them on the course. It should play faster than it does, but I think when you start with the number one handicap hole and follow it with a par 3 things get jammed up right away. Tricky greens that were in good shape. Some of the bunkers could use a bit more sand. It’s an enjoyable course when the pace is right. It did pick up on the back, but expect a slow round. Decent driving range with grass and mat options. Grass being irons only. Good putting/chipping greens. Really I’d come back just for the greens, which kept fooling me all day. That and the atmosphere. Friendly staff. Met some nice people here.

Pace was extremely slow, ppl were nice on the tee but maybe it’s just overbooked.

Don’t get me wrong, the check in staff @ starter are really great people. But the pace of play is terrible. 3 hour front 9 and ended up a 5.5 hour round. They really need to fix this as they are known for their SLOW rounds. This was the first time I played here in about 2 years thinking the pace of play would improve but I was wrong. Never coming back

This course is known for double booking and loading the course up to over capacity, with a Marshal doing the starting at hole 1, it didn’t take long for the group behind us to hit into us on hole 1, hole 2 we were on the green and the group behind us shot on the green, hole 3,4 okay hole 5 they shot over our head, we were held up by the groups in front of us, no place to go, but Costa Mesa got there money and more, they put groups out 3-5 minutes apart and then there is no marshal out there to control the course, it’s horrible, I forgot about the double booking, it will be a while before we go back

When the greens are good these 2 courses are just so much fun to play. I hope you will be able to come back in June to enjoy the best value in orange county
