Bad news Bears!

I typically don’t leave reviews, but this really warrants one. My experience here has been very bad and I usually don’t. Expect much or complain. I just want a reasonable pace of oaky and not have to play with jerks or idiots. At this golf course you have to put up with a very slow pace of play and have to play with some losers who think they’re are going to be playing on the PGA tour and would be lucky, cheating and all to shoot a round close to ten over. My last round I played with a guy who was playing in the “city tournament” and he stated he had a 2 handicap. However, when we were playing this guy was constantly missing the tee and would wander around the course in search of his golf ball. A couple of times he would have hit my ball if I didn’t stop him.

When I tried to explain ready he just looked at me like I was explaining nuclear physics. This poor guy wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, and I tried to be nice, but after he accused me of taking someone’s golf ball I had enough. I realize he was slow, and made a mistake, but stupidity is one thing being a jerk too is a whole other set of problems especially when he is hitting golf balls near me.

I did manage to find another group to play with, and it went much smoother, but Mr. Congeniality managed to catch up to me and was babbling more nonsense. I’ve never met a loon like this on the golf course, and I’ve met some real losers, but this guy takes the cake.

I would stay away from this course unless you want to be sitting in your golf cart watching the grass grow. The management has no clue what they are doing and will not even return a phone call.

Not terrible

My first time here, encountered a less than friendly guy when inquiring about adding a cart to my golf now reservation. Paid golf now a small fee and then paid again in full at the course. My biggest complaint is lack of gps. There are two courses so I felt lost. Probably my own fault. But lack of gps and zero stakes in the fairway not helpful at all. Still felt decent value. Snack shack closed at 5 which gave us little option at the turn. I’ll be back for sure. But get some GPS we’re in Newport for christs sake.

Prepare for 6 hour round

The course is probably a 7 out of ten in itself. But the pace of play here every single time I’ve played here is absolutely unbearable. So if you’re planning to play here, plan for a 6 hour round. If you can do that then play here.

Guiness Record for Sloooow Play

Have played both Costa Mesa Golf Course many times.

This was the second time within 6-weeks for playing the Los Lagos side.

No exaggeration to say it set a personal record for slowest pace of pla y(5 1/2 hours+ when we finally finished)..

There were minimum of two foursomes ALWAYS in front of our foursome.

On two tee boxes there were three foursomes waiting--plus ours).

A Marshall drove up to me at one point and apologized for the slow pace of play explaining that they regularly have been overbooking.

Maybe you'll get lucky though on your next outing.

Too many tee times too close together

Play time was a third of our overall wait time. We called it & ended after the 14th because we were fourth in line to tee off.

Always seems to be a good round.

Pace a little slow first 2 holes. Typical to other public courses.

Fairways are green and watered. Ongoing sodding of balding areas.

Tees are good and not hard.

Roughs are well mowed but grass is stiff. Sometimes grabs the club (as is intended)

Traps are manicured daily. About 1 inch deep soft sand. Just enough for a blast out. Only JUST ENOUGH.

One green was a little rough. Others good and consistent. Players LEAVING a lot of ball marks.

Golfer EDIQUETTE is lacking here as is the case EVERYWHERE. We all need to be reminding our fellow players how to be a polite and safe Golfer. And fix the ball marks!

Great course for price but can get slow

Great value for price although place of play can be super slow on busy days. Can take up to 6 hours. I recommend playing on days when weather isn't as nice or evening times for faster play times.

Solid Course

I enjoy playing Lagos and Mesa Linda. Both have their own strengths. For as much play as both courses get they are always in solid condition. BUT, the pace of play has become so bad it has taken the enjoyment out of the game. Our tee time was at 1:15pm and it took us 5 hours and 15 mins to complete the round. Some of the par 3’s had 3-4 groups waiting. If you don’t mind 5 hour rounds then these are both solid courses. I will not be playing Lagos or Mesa Linda again unless I am teeing off first thing in the morning.

Horrid Pace of Play

3:03 tee time and quit after the front 9. Finished at 6:45pm. Just inexcusable. I can honestly say it’s the worst pace issue I’ve ever dealt with.
