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 :(

Great Value

This is great for a practice round. At peak times it does get a little backed up, but if you play afternoons or early mornings, its usually wide open and they do keep the course and greens in decent shape.

5 hour round and didn’t finish

Another painfully slow round at Los Lagos. Took 3 hours to finish front 9. Couldn’t even finish after 5 hours cause of darkness. Also golf cart run out of juice so just ditched it there. Never again

Long Wait

tldr - if youve got nothing to do and your day is completely free, then this is the course for you. otherwise, expect an avg wait time of 20min between holes and ~6hrs to play 18.

in general, the course is fine. the clubhouse is fine. the prices are fine. and the staff is fine. but the wait time between holes is absolutely insane. at one point at hole 3, we waited 30-40min to tee off. there were 3 groups waiting. my group (threesome) tees off at 1:24pm and finished at 7:30pm. marshal came around once but didnt help speed of play. i dont know exactly what’s causing this mayhem, but the management team needs to do something. youve absolutely lost me as a future patron.
