Mesa Linda at Costa Mesa Golf & Country Club

Costa Mesa CC is my home course. I’ve placed over a hundred rounds on both Los Lagos and Mesa Linda (the shorter of the 2 courses).

The Good

- for a public course, both courses are in excellent condition. The greens roll great

- really good practice facilities with a driving range with both grass and mats, two large practice putting greens, and an are to pitch and chip

- the restaurant serves really good food at reasonable prices

- because it’s a city owned course, the green fees are very reasonable

The Not So Good

- given all the pros listed above, both courses are in get a lot of play. Tee-time are scheduled approx 7-9 minutes apart, so it gets crowded … like regular 3 group backups on 4 and 7 on Lagos leading to 5.5+ hour rounds any given day of the week

- This even applies to Mesa Linda (the shorter of the 2 courses) because you will get a lot of beginners out here

- for as good as the greens are, the bunkers are inconsistent. Some will have more sand (and be more playable) than others

Fairways very good.

Greens excellent. Fast.

Tees okay mostly

Course is always slow and Marshalls are nowhere to be found holding groups accountable. Love Costa Mesa but they need to fix this issue

My buddy and I got paired with three other players, 2 walkers and 1 on a cart. We teed off almost a half hour later. The groups in front of us were very slow. The course was in pretty good shape.

5.5 hour round. Not a marshal in sight. Course doesn’t care.
