Los Lagos at Costa Mesa Golf & Country Club

Had 12:48 t-time for 2 for 18 holes of golf!!! Tried to check in at 12:33 and was told to wait 10 or 12 mins for them to call. Checked back in 10 mins and asked if we could get a cart and again was told to wait for me to be called. Starter was obviously feeling pressure, not real friendly?? Finally was called, got a cart, and then found that we were two groups back on the tee??? Didn't check my phone but must have been 1:15 before we teed off!!! Still wasn't real concerned as Mesa course is short and has a low slope rating. On Hole #2 and being 3rd back on the tee again saw that there was a fivesome ahead of the 4 some ahead of us. Best description to me is "POOR MGT"!!! In my book of golf etiquette, 5 somes should never be allowed during public times on a golf course especially if some or all of them is walking!!! You have a nice tract there and obviously more than enough clientele so you can do what you want but to be honest with those who don't frequent the course regularly you might make note that t-times after 11:30am probably won't finish 18!!! In my book, I paid for 18 holes and only got in 15 so you owe me 3 holes of golf!!! I played Glen Ivy a week ago Wed starting at 1:20 and finished 18 holes earlier than the 15 I played here and I played Temecula Creek this last Wed starting at 1:00 and finished at 4:30. Both of these courses are longer and much more difficult layouts but there were obviously no 5 somes or overbooking. "Good Management"!!!

The course is in fantastic shape, however the pace of play continues to be awful! 5 hours minimum even during the week! Reminder.. women's league on this course on Fridays around 8-9am. The rest of the day will be incredibly slow. They cram as many people as possible onto this course! Tee times always start late and they even had the nerve to cram a 2some in front of us that wanted to cut in front of us. You'll see a cart girl out a few times which is nice, but you won't see a marshall moving things along. It's the wild wild Mesa!

Decent public course but always very slow play!! Layout is nice!

Takes at least 3 hours to move through the front 9….if it want for that would play much more often. Every round her takes 5 hours, other than that this place is awesome. Wish they would do something about pace of play.

This course is always a great time just as long as you underatand that the pace of play is a little longer than most courses. I will play again.

On the first tee there where 4 groups of 5 somes going out in front of us. I asked the starter if this was a policy now and he said “ if he knows the players ( meaning his friends) he will let them out as a 5 some. “ They really don’t slow up play”. My normal 5:15 round went up to 6 hours. This is ridiculous and completely disrespectful to the other golfers that game to enjoy their day.

This is out of hand and the GM needs to be held accountable for this!

Every time we play both courses its slow. Sad part is that the courses are nice. But is always backed up. Dont plan on finishing if you start after 1.

Fun courses with challenging setups. They are actually pretty fun to play. With that being said I just can't come here anymore, they do nothing to keep pace of play moving. There were multiple times that we had 3-4 groups waiting at a tee box. It's a short course and should be easily played in 4 hours. This round was near 6 hours. Started at 1145am and almost didn't finish do to the sun setting. Not how I want to spend my money. Get it together and I'll come back.

Friendly staff, nice course layout and conditions.

2.5 hours to complete 6 holes on this course is ridiculous

I like this course a lot. Would play here more often but it’s a little a little tough to get a tee time without being a member. It’s a solid value and course conditions are always good. The one issue I have here is pace of play. Ive played here around 10 times and I can’t remember if I’ve ever had anything under a 5 hour round. They’re usually backed on the first tee and the pathetic thing is that they have a starter. I played yesterday and it was a disaster. They were 30 minutes behind and 4 groups waiting on the first tee. Inexcusable imo. Other than the staff not being on top of things and more organized, the course itself is very enjoyable.

Great round for the price. Tee off early to beat the back ups that cause long rounds. Course Marshalls could do a better job controlling traffic. Tee’s off a little after 7 and was done in 4 hours.

3 hours to play the first 9. 3 foursomes waiting to tee off at 2, 3, and 4. Took 20 minutes to play the first Par 3. Ridiculous. Will NEVER play again. 4 hours to play 12 holes then it got dark. They need to get their business together.
