The Longest Round of Your Life

The course itself is pretty well maintained and the layout isn’t bad but I promise you, the pace will make you hate this course.

Please trust this review when I say stay away from this course. This will be over a 6 hour round and you will wait on every single hole. The par 3s will have 3-4 groups WAITING to hit. You’ll be waiting over 30 minutes on the par 3s before you can even hit then have 3-4 groups watching you and rushing you.

I know this sounds like an exaggeration but it isn’t. They knowingly overbook the course and are really rude about it. They simply don’t care about your experience.

Getting worst and worst

We have played this course for over a fee years now, the course was on great condition and price for an 18 hole week day was around $50. Every time we play the course we play before 10:00am and It will not take less thank 5 hours for the round but yesterday was the worst ever, yesterday it took six hours and 40 minutes to finish an 18 hole Round, we supposed to start at 9:47 AM but they start us at 10:40 AM, Even After we start an hour later, the course was very, very slow, and there was no reason for it. They overbooked this course. Plus, we paid $80 per player yesterday (week day). To me, this is too much, Not the cost, but the overall experience. Thank you

Mesa Linda come back to me

You are driving to the course thinking about how you are going to have the best day, music blaring, lane changing, hitting the vape. Arrive in the lot, the feel of clubs clanking on your back. The fresh hot dog smell. Then BAM tee boxes are backed up!? Starter is on the fritz. 30 min behind schedule??! Backed up for miles , and it tuned into a 6 hour round?! Yes…yes it indeed happened. My fault for wishing for even mediocre pace of play.

Lives up to it’s name Los LAGos

Check in person was NOT friendly and welcoming as it seems like I was bothering him; not a good ambassador; free-for-all because no starter; 12:30 tee time and will expect not to finish a few holes but OVER 3 hours for front nine is RIDICULOUS; did not even bother to continue playing; 3-4 groups waiting on almost every hole; 4somes in front BUT ONLY 3 golf bags on the 2 carts; RIDONKULOUS; shape up CMCC or lose business.

Greens were top notch

I’ve been golfing at CMCC for almost 20 years and today (12/1) was the best I’ve ever seen the greens on Mesa Linda. They were fast and in perfect shape! Added a new challenge to the course.

Incredibly mismanaged

Starting 30 mins behind your tee time EVERY TIME makes for a very frustrating start to the day. They clearly just do not care about anything other than a profits. 5 players off the tee. Scheduling every 5 mins. Walkers left and right. Today will be my last round of golf here. Love the course but not for 6hrs

Slowest play I’ve ever seen

Teed off on a Tuesday at 11:45. Finished the 9th hole at 3:00! Not a sign of a marshall anywhere, up to 4 groups waiting on tees throughout the round.

Course condition was pretty good, greens and tees were good, fairways were very tight.

Won’t be going back there ever :(

Pace of Play

Pace of Play was Terrible. 5.5 hrs and I didn't finish the round, had to leave. Marshalls aren't policing the correct groups and helping them with faster play. Good enough course, but I wouldn't go there again.
