Great Course but Beware

Los Lagos- it’s an awesome course but beware of the pace of play. All par 3’s had about a 3-4 group wait.

My tee time was at 1pm on a Monday and this place was completely packed. Course is very well kept with nicely kept greens and fairways.

Hole 10 is dangerous as it is right next to the driving range. So as you are hitting you can see range balls falling next to you.

Course in surprisingly good condition considering the amount of people they let play here on a daily basis. Pace of play can be expected to be 5-6 hours on any given day

Bad Pace but Good Value

Played on a Sunday morning. Course is overall in pretty decent shape, some rough patches on the fairways but overall tee boxes and greens were great (and quick). Pace is pretty bad. We were on track for 6 hour round but flew on the back half and finished in just over 5 hours. For the price, compared to other courses around, it’s not bad value, especially the weekday prices. I’ll play here a good amount likely, but it will never be my top choice for a high quality round. If the pace improved to 4 hour rounds or better, I’d probably play all the time.

First time playing

The course was great and condition was beautiful but the pace of play is terrible. I paid for 18 holes of golf but only was able to finish 13 holes due to pace of play. There were times that I was waiting for 2 group of ahead of us at least 9 of the 13 holes. The price is great but the Marshall is more worried about have keep the cart in rough area than pace of play. It very unfortunate didn’t get to finish this nice course but if going back I will have to chose a way earlier tee time. I recommend that you don’t schedule golf after 1pm because you wont finish in time it get dark. 5 hours for 13 holes is way too long.

The course was great and very challenging. But only played 13 holes and paid for 18, due to pace of the play at the course. Was waiting at least 2 group behind. It was very disappointing that could not finish course. this was the time playing this course it is worth the money but you should not book tee times after 1pm due to not going to finish in time.

Unacceptably slow.

It took 2.5 hours to play 8 holes and I just gave up. Either the play is way too slow, or the management is simply allowing too many players on the golf course. No ranger presence of any kind to move things along or to maintain some kind of pace. We were hit into twice while putting on the green, and golf etiquette seems to be out of style. I don't think the management cares at all about the slow play as this is a constant problem. Never playing here again, which is sad considering the condition of the course is good.

3 sets of 5 somes walking! Equals , 5 hours and 40 minutes. Guess they have pull with Club house- Kyle? You let these inconsiderate golfers out? Hole 18, one guy couldn’t find ball held up the other 4 on green who were waiting for him so they could putt out- 10 minutes wasted. Yeah fun course if you’re in these 5 somes

GREAT COURSE, SLOW PACE

Started at 1154am and ended past dark at around 515pm (Started the 6th tee at 2pm). Course could definitely enforce pace of play better for repeat customers.

Other than that, a great challenge of a course under wet conditions and and reasonably priced for the course that is presented.

Terrible Pace of Play

Had a tee time booked on sunday at 1240 PM. Walked up to the pro shop, and the person working it looked annoyed to have to check me in. Let me know that they were a little behind. Teed off around 1255 PM. played the front 9 in 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Terrible pace of play, Marshal does absolutely nothing. Tee times being spaced that closely together is a recipe for a terrible pace. Course is affordable, so that's a plus.

Talked to a group on the 18th green, and they said their round took 5.5 hours. ridiculous.

Rude staff/ horrible rate of play

Staff member was super rude when we checked in. He seemed so bothered that we needed him to check us in as we even greeted him with a friendly hello. The rate of play was horrible. We waited 15/20 minutes at every hole. I don’t even know why they have a Marshall as he does nothing to keep the pace up. This has happened multiple times now so I know it’s not a one time thing. I will not be returning.

Great first time experience!

Tee time at 8:32am, had 3 lady seniors in front of me who happened to be faster than the group with me (total of 4), had 1 senior and a couple with me which was ok although the lady was hitting 10-30 yards every shot after a 50-100 yards drives. If you aint ready for the course go to the range or play a short par 4 or par 3 please! Keep the pace of play going, anyways course was a exceptional time 5-6hr round unfortunately .

Great Course - Play Early

My first time playing this course and I thought it was great! There were a few things that were out of their control, specifically that it had rained so much in the days prior so the course was very wet and muddy, but that wasn't even a big issue for us. My one recommendation is to play early, it was very busy and if you don't get out early you might play a little slow. We teed of at 7:41 and it was perfect.
