+5 hour round on a Wednesday

Started at 12:30pm and finished at 5;35pm (5 hours 5 minutes). It just rained two days ago so parts of the fairways were slightly flooded. Other course conditions were really good! Has a really slow group two groups ahead of us that didn’t stay behind their group. Wished there was a marshal help keep pace of play. Was expecting a faster round since it was middle of the week, but will def check other courses before I come back.

Course Review

I had a 12:57pm tee time scheduled on a Friday and ended up teeing off 20 minutes late as the course was backed up. Pace of play was below average and took us 2.5 hours to get through 9 holes. The course was in decent condition with a fun layout. My only complaint is that hole 9 doesn’t end at the club house. It’s actually the furthest point from the club house. They do have snack/beverage carts stop by regularly. I think this would be a great course to play if you come prepared and snag an early tee time. I’ll be back to try it again.

Solid muni one of the nicest in the area but very slow pace of play

Always enjoy CMCC they really keep the course in great shape very long 18 with a handful of par 5’s on los Lagos. For 70 dollars riding the value is there compared to other courses around. The only major issue with this course is pace of play. It took almost 5 and a half hours to play 18. I had a 12pm tee time and just got a full round in. Only other issue is being very hard to get early tee times in the morning on weekends. All that in mind still a beautiful challenging course and had a great day out there.

Cold today and slow pace

The cold in Southern California is unusual. But cold yesterday it was cold. Played 9 holes only.

The pace of play was very slow. Had to wait for many holes.

Prepare for your longest round yet

Love this course. The people are fantastic and enjoy the layout. But and this is a big but, forget getting your money’s worth on a full round unless you have at least 6-7 hours to spend playing. Today we found ourselves 2 hours past our tee time having only played 3 holes. Three groups were ahead of us waiting on hole 4. I suspect many people dropped out on the back 9 as it got slightly better but it was still quite bad. I understand there was a slight frost delay however this course is notoriously super slow regardless. When I went to grab a drink on the turn someone shared with me that friends are let in without proper tee times that cause the pace of play to be horrendous on weekends. No idea of the legitimacy of the statement but that would make sense. Book with caution.

Pace of play was too slow.

I only finished nine holes in four hours. I waited for groups to finish on every hole. This is my local course and I enjoy walking it and taking my time but I think 10:30-2:30 having played only nine holes is ridiculous. I’ve complained on a couple of occasions and the staff was nice enough to comp me nine holes but it is consistently slow.

Atrocious Pace of Play

Played a Wednesday at 10:30. Was sent out thirty minutes late. Round took over 6 hours. Waited at least ten minutes on every tee box. If you play here bring a novel with you.

Shocking attitude and organisation

On a packed Saturday people are allowed 115-ball buckets on the driving range. No chance of warming up. Chipping area the size of a postage stamp with people allowed to chip 20-30 balls at a time. On putting green people turn up with eight balls. No discipline by management. When I raised the issue with the man behind the mic he told me to go play Pelican Hills. What a stupid and rude person.

Stopped after nine holes because we were 12 waiting on the tee for every hole.

Not bad to start 2024

We started 30 minutes behind on the first tee, but then things started to move along. It took us just under 5hrs to finish 18 holes. The course conditions were very good, with some water accumulating through out the fairways but the tree were in good shape.

Improve the on line booking process

It’s challenging to book tee times since the course website opens at 6:00 a.m. and sometimes has bugs that interrupt a booking long enough that you lose the time slot. Please improve the online booking process.
