Incredibly mismanaged

Starting 30 mins behind your tee time EVERY TIME makes for a very frustrating start to the day. They clearly just do not care about anything other than a profits. 5 players off the tee. Scheduling every 5 mins. Walkers left and right. Today will be my last round of golf here. Love the course but not for 6hrs

Slowest play I’ve ever seen

Teed off on a Tuesday at 11:45. Finished the 9th hole at 3:00! Not a sign of a marshall anywhere, up to 4 groups waiting on tees throughout the round.

Course condition was pretty good, greens and tees were good, fairways were very tight.

Won’t be going back there ever :(

Pace of Play

Pace of Play was Terrible. 5.5 hrs and I didn't finish the round, had to leave. Marshalls aren't policing the correct groups and helping them with faster play. Good enough course, but I wouldn't go there again.

3 hours for 7 holes

This is my second experience with 6 plus hours to play

The course is way overbooked and you can’t get a refund for the fact you can’t even get 9 holes in under. 3 hours.

I would avoid at all costs

SLOW

Teed off a half hour late. Took an hour to finish the first 2 holes. General pace of play was super slow - we finished in the dark (6:00ish) with a 12:12 tee time. Tee times were spaced out 9 minutes apart and we had a 5some behind us.

Course itself was in good shape. Fairways and greens were good. Lots of target golf - course is super short with a bunch of big doglegs.

Probably won't be coming back unless they address the pace issue.

Pace of play

Great course and value for money but the pace of place keeps getting worse. Front 9 took 3 hours, I will stop playing here because the rounds just take too long

costa Mesa - Los lagos

All staff members in the proshop were friendly and professional, they have a full scale bar, restaurant and their own locker rooms. The clubhouse is in a separate building from the proshop, but both are walking distances apart. Golf carts are well maintained and clean. Tee boxes are elevated but not level. Greens were fun and the ball rolled well for me. Sand bunkers were entertaining to watch my group try to get out of them. Pace of play is something I wish more Marshall's were around to speed up play. We had 3 groups backed up on the 3rd hole. We finished 17 holes from 1:15 to 5:15pm. I will be back in wanted to play the 18th hole but it was too dark.

Great value, good diversity of holes…
