Los Lagos at Costa Mesa Golf & Country Club

love the layout, well kept fairways, tee boxes, bunkers, slightly bumpy greens(blame the careless players).

played los lagos on 9/13 Friday started at around 2:30pm played last 3 holes in the dark. wait on every shot and starting on hole 3 already 3 groups waiting on tee. called the starter for marshal assistance and the guy comes to reassure that it is perfectly normal on a friday afternoon. i wished he would proceed to go forward to check for gaps and slow play but he was confidently assuring us that pace of play will get better after the 7th hole. over 6 hours wasted on a great course but terrible place of play due to lazy marshals.

5+hour round. Greens were good..tough undulations. But the collars were so fuzzy so you either had to play a crazy good flop shot around the greens bc a bump and run could stop dead on the collar or shoot through the green if you over compensate. How hard would it be to shave down the collars a bit????

Slow as heck, wouldn’t come back, obviously they want to make money and don’t care about the slow as heck pace!!!!

Never seen the course in such great condition. Greens were really smooth and fast. Can’t beat the value either and the pace of play was incredibly fast. Finished in 4:15!

Andy the starter was great! Always so nice and helpful. Course was in really good condition considering all the heat the past 3 weeks. Love both courses. Long time customer since the 80’s. Greens were rolling too. Keep up the good maintenance and of course KEEP Andy!

Just way too slow of a pace. Teetime was 957am

And it took over 5hrs for a 5700yard course thats a shame. There are lots of hacks with no etiquette playing here and at Los Lagos. Too bad cuz these courses are good quality and layout. Shame on their management.

Theres a wait at every teebox even though we played

At 945am. 5hr round on a 5700yard course is just too

Slow. There are too many inconsiderate hacks that play here and at Los Lagos. These courses just pack way too many people and not enough soacing btwn the tee times. Overall condition is good but too slow

6am tee time on the road at 9. Leave my “work” box with cigars and lighters in the back of cart. I come back 30 minutes later and it’s gone and the people working the cart barn wouldn’t allow me to look by the carts. Cigar box was a gift from my wife, so I’m furious.

Course is great as always, but the cart thieves need to be stopped.

Our foursome has played Costa Mesa several times because it’s centrally located for us and has times available. The courses are ok, but the staff is terrible:

1. The lady who usually works check-in is consistently rude, impatient and unfriendly. No matter how nice we are, she seems genuinely irritated that we show up and have the nerve to check in for our tee time.

2. The man who works the bar (big-bellied guy, wears a knee brace, always there) isn’t much better. He’s sometimes preoccupied with other things and is impatient with our interrupting him to order drinks.

3. More often than not, the kitchen is closed.

As for the course, most of the bunkers are virtually unplayable mud pits or concrete slabs. They need to add some good new sand and maintain the bunkers.

With a little customer service training and some work on the course conditions, CM could be a gem. As it is, we put up with it when we can’t get a time at a nice, friendly course.

Not in bad condition and overall a fair price compared to the other Orange County courses but my goodness it is not worth it for how backed up it gets. I don’t understand why this course loves to send groups out one after the other. Expect to wait 5-10 minutes on most of the holes; ended up playing a 5 hour round last Saturday. Really disappointing.

The club over books the t-times. Had an 11 start, didn’t T off till 11:30am. Then when it finally cleared up at the back 9 because people had left in frustration, the marshal asked us to speed up when till that point we had been waiting for 2 groups ahead of us to finish up.

The course conditions were excellent, the layout was great, and the price was reasonable. However, the pace of play was extremely slow. It took over 3 hours to complete the front 9 holes! If this could be improved, it would be a fantastic golf course.

I played with a couple of buddies and we had a lot of fun! Only got about 12 holes in because twilight time but still fun even though I shot a bad round

6 hours round is something I may have to bear since it is 1. Convenient location, 2. Good price 3. Good conditions 4. Relatively cooler
