Expect 6 hour round

Tee time was at 9:23 am and ended up starting at 9:55 due to backlog and 5 some groups going out. Course is OK but pace of play is brutal. Ended up being 6 hour round on a Monday. Not sure if this is the normal situation but no one seemed to care working or playing. Most of the players seemed to seniors getting the local city/senior discount rate.

Good course

Good course. Good playing conditions. Just wish the rough wasn’t as rough. It’s brutal there you can lose balls even if you know their vicinity because the rough’s grass is so tall. But it’s part of golf the rough should have some tough lies overall the playing conditions of this course are really good

Rushed

Let’s say I expected a 5 hour round but one hour thirty minutes for three holes in crazy. Asked to get a voucher refund anything as the pace of play was outrageous. After hole one there was a back up of 4 groups plus us. Was given a business card to call and complain as the tee shop was uninterested in helping fix the situation. I don’t suggest playing here during busy times unless you want to play a 7 hour round

Too many

I understand that course have to make money, but putting to many people on the course is just plain stupid. If you have a bad time ,you might not come back. So now your losing money. And what's the use of a Marshall if he doesn't do anything about the pace of play. Easily can be fixed by watching and telling players do not to hit 3 and 4 shots. Everyone understands a 2nd because you can't find your first.

Another great day

Play here regularly. we play early to avoid the "back-ups" typical at Costa Mesa. Play was fast even though we were assigned a 5-some. Course in great shape Fairways, Greens, Tees. Rough was a little long (regulation me thinks). Friendly rough though. Very little OB.

Some challenging holes especially 18 (which should be a par 5.) Not many water hazards.

Greens have a lot of shape which means "on in regulation" doesn't get you a par :(
