Good value, bad pace

This place is great; 2 good courses at a great price. Unfortunately the secret is out and this course is over booked. Groups of 5 that can barely get off the tee slowing pace is a bummer. That being said, it’s hard to find a course in this good of condition that is this affordable in Orange County. Also 2 good size putting greens and a chipping area and driving range; all in all a great practice facility.

Morning is great!

I’ve always enjoyed playing on both courses at Costa Mesa. My only complaint is the 5 hour + rounds. BUT, if you are lucky enough to get an early morning tee time you will enjoy the course and the round of golf. We teed off at 6:59am and finished in 4 hours exactly. Enjoyed the course and only had to wait a short time at a few holes.

Pace of Play

Booking was terrible. 3 hours to play the front 9. 3 groups backed up at almost every hole to hole 14. Then it finally opened up. 7 hours to play 18 holes is unreal

Extremely slow

Took us 3 hrs for the front nine. Granted twilight prices are pretty good and the course actually plays well. Just be ready to wait a bunch.

Slow

They push out tee times every 6 minutes waited on every hole. Course was in decent shape and love the layout and design but not worth it to play 18 holes in 5 and a half hours on a Tuesday.

Sooooo slow.

Took us 2 hours to get through 4 holes. I wish I was kidding. We also were delayed about 30 min from our scheduled tee time. Course was decent otherwise, and the facilities were fine. Although, I wouldn’t say hitting off grass at the range was really grass.

Greens in good shape, pace of play a joke

Tee'd off at Los Lagos at 1:00 on a Friday - our tee time was 12:30 but they were behind. We had several groups waiting on every tee on the front- not an exaggeration. Left after 13 holes at 5pm.
