First time, but will be back soon

Nice, weather nice condition, Nice staff. Nice Design, not hard but not easy just about right.

If there is something bad, a little over watered in few holes(1 or 2), no view(which for the public course, is normal) Am I asking too much?

Overall a very good public course with 36 holes in nice weather area and good price.

Pace is very slow

we started at 2:18pm and finished at 5:40pm with front 9 holes.

waited for each hole. Satisfied to play through hole no 13 until sunset time 6:45pm.

I got an irritating experience of just our front team; 4 each player hit their ball at the same position every time even putting which is selected as a best location. Further more those guys had too much drinking ,nosing and laughing.

That’s another reason to take a more time than normal playing.

Better than expected!

First of all, great value… Layoutt is both fun and challenging. Condition of greens (People fix your ball marks!) and the course in general were very good. I did see some negative reviews regarding pace of play and all I can say is that 4 hours and 50 minutes on Friday afternoon is not terrible and we definitely had people in front of us, and in front of them and in front of them, etc.

And like I said… Best of all a great value and I will definitely play again next time I’m here

Great Local Hidden Gem

We love our local course Los Lagos. Plenty of room to stretch out your arms and mash drives with lots of Par 5s. The course layout is awesome and the conditions were excellent. Great value per round.

too slow

love the layout, well kept fairways, tee boxes, bunkers, slightly bumpy greens(blame the careless players).

played los lagos on 9/13 Friday started at around 2:30pm played last 3 holes in the dark. wait on every shot and starting on hole 3 already 3 groups waiting on tee. called the starter for marshal assistance and the guy comes to reassure that it is perfectly normal on a friday afternoon. i wished he would proceed to go forward to check for gaps and slow play but he was confidently assuring us that pace of play will get better after the 7th hole. over 6 hours wasted on a great course but terrible place of play due to lazy marshals.

So slow!!!

5+hour round. Greens were good..tough undulations. But the collars were so fuzzy so you either had to play a crazy good flop shot around the greens bc a bump and run could stop dead on the collar or shoot through the green if you over compensate. How hard would it be to shave down the collars a bit????

Course was pure!

Never seen the course in such great condition. Greens were really smooth and fast. Can’t beat the value either and the pace of play was incredibly fast. Finished in 4:15!

Costa Mesa Los Lagos

Andy the starter was great! Always so nice and helpful. Course was in really good condition considering all the heat the past 3 weeks. Love both courses. Long time customer since the 80’s. Greens were rolling too. Keep up the good maintenance and of course KEEP Andy!

Too slow

Just way too slow of a pace. Teetime was 957am

And it took over 5hrs for a 5700yard course thats a shame. There are lots of hacks with no etiquette playing here and at Los Lagos. Too bad cuz these courses are good quality and layout. Shame on their management.

Too slow

Theres a wait at every teebox even though we played

At 945am. 5hr round on a 5700yard course is just too

Slow. There are too many inconsiderate hacks that play here and at Los Lagos. These courses just pack way too many people and not enough soacing btwn the tee times. Overall condition is good but too slow

Cart barn thieves

6am tee time on the road at 9. Leave my “work” box with cigars and lighters in the back of cart. I come back 30 minutes later and it’s gone and the people working the cart barn wouldn’t allow me to look by the carts. Cigar box was a gift from my wife, so I’m furious.

Course is great as always, but the cart thieves need to be stopped.
