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.

Pace of play wasn’t too bad

Started my tee time at 12:30pm and finished the round just after 5:00pm. Pace of play wasn’t too bad, but we did have a couple times where the par 3 holes were backed up by two groups. There was one marshal on hole 6 that was trying to speed up pace of play, but no one else for the rest of the course. I feel the group that was two groups ahead of us were the issue, but couldn’t see if THEY were backed up as well. Honestly I was expecting worse pace of play given the reviews, so didn’t think it was too bad. Will definitely come back to play since it was raining and caused some flooding of bunkers and fairways on the course.

Mesa Linda

Overall the course was in good condition. The holiday rate of $78.00 is well overpriced for this course. The pace of play was terrible. Just a little over a 5 hour round. Tee time start was pushed back 25 minutes due to a group of 20 to 24 they booked. No staff presence as a starter to get the group off in time.

Horrible service and pace

I have played a lot of private and municipal courses and let me tell you this is the worst by far . The staff (attendants and green keepers ) are very rude making you feel uncomfortable since the beginning . It’s like they are paying you to play and not the other away around. The pace was also horrible, 5 hour round and only got to finish 14 holes. Staff cramped way too many players instead of caring about the pace of the course. Way too many 5 to 6 some pairings making you wait +15 mins on the par threes.

Not a good day of golf

Played on a Saturday after 2 days of rain, so I expected a slower pace of play, After 3+ hours and 9 holes I gave up. Management should adapt to daily conditions and spread groups more apart. A waist of time and money.

Greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Pace of play was the only problem with the course because we played in the afternoon. We still finished in 4:20.

So so slow

Only come here if you have 5.5-6 hours to kill. Every pin placement is on a slope. Mis your put by an inch or two with the softest touch and it’ll roll downhill another 10 feet. Sucks waiting 15-25 minutes after finishing the previous hole. Other than that, decent place to golf.
