Great course for newer players

The course is only 5000 yards or so. Much shorter and friendlier than your typical 7000 yard courses. Always in good shape and easy to get tee times because they have two courses at this facility.

Pace of play horrendous

Just stop overbooking this place please, the course is fun but waiting 40 min each hole is nuts, 2 hours from the moment I teed off and I only got through 5 holes…

NIce but slow

The staff was very friendly but the course is very slow, probably because they book tee times 8 minutes apart and do not enforce using the white tees. Greens were in good shape and the fairways for the most part were good. The pace of play was 4:45.

Fast round on an early Saturday a.m.

Los Lagos was in very good shape, greens and fairways were in great shape. 4 hr round in a group with 4 walkers.

A Good Walk Spoiled

Okay, so I borrowed the title from Mark Twain. But, I actually rode. I have played her for over 20-years. Decent course(s) (Los Lagos & Mesa Linda). I played Los Lagos. The main complaint is the pace-of-play, be ready for an exceptionally SLOOOOW ROUND. You may get lucky with a Tuesday through Thursday booking. I played Friday. Other than the extreme slowness, everything else is pretty good.

Poor sportsmanship

I made the reservation about 2 hours prior to the tee time and chose the wrong course. My mistake, yes, but Costa Mesa golf course charged my credit card for full rate!!! I have played this course hundreds of times over the past 20+ years and have never missed a tee time !! Shame on you Costa Mesa golf course for being so greedy. Worse customer service for $38😤

Friendliness Poor
