Mesa Linda at Costa Mesa Golf & Country Club

One of OC’s best value courses, although that means word is out and it is often crowded. Pave of play was slow with up to 4 flights waiting on some par three’s. Very friendly staff and well maintained course, especially the sand in the bunkers which I visited a few times.

T time at 11 to almost 4 hours to play 9 had to quit.

Played the course for the first time in about 20 years. Tee boxes and fairways and event the rough are in excellent condition, greens decent but a little patchy here and there. The layout is deceivingly difficult. It's flat, but the trees come into play and bunkers are tricky.

Here's the issue, depending upon your patience... We had a 10:15am tee time on a Wednesday. The place was packed. Didn't end up teeing off until about 10:45am due to backup on first tee, Overall, the round took about 4:45. Once we started, we had to wait on most tee boxes,. The pace was fairly consistent though, evenly slow on most holes. Just bring the right attitude and you'll be fine.

Definitely walk this course if you can. It's flat and you will probably have to wait on many shots anyway.

For the price, you will not find a course in better shape. It was shocking how nice it was, tee boxes great and fairways were fairly plush. Rough was also in good shape.

Overall... excellent for the price, slow pace, bring positive attitude.

It’s such a shame they can’t figure out 6 hour rounds aren’t acceptable. I saw 5 groups of 5 on los Lagos. I played on a Week day 9 am and didn’t finish til 245. I honestly only stayed just to see what the end time would be. It’s an amazing track with great layout and greens but not worth it. If they implemented a proper spread of tee times I’d love to come back but not in the near future

I always enjoy playing at Costa Mesa. Value for money is exceptional. Greens are always in great condition. And this time fairways and tee boxes were excellent as well. The Mesa Linda course isn’t that long but it is protected by very small and undulating greens. I’d prefer bigger greens and/or friendlier pin positions if I’m being picky but still had a great morning out on the course.

Very very slow, waiting every single hole 5-10min

Take 6hrs to finish 18 holes

It took over 3 hours for 9 holes. No ranger around at all. Seems to be a nice course. Seems to be mismanaged based on the people I spoke with. We left after 9 . Should get a refund

Just wrote one but would like a refund for the pace of play. Over 3 hours for 9 and we left

Played9 holes in 3 hours and left. No ranger in sight. Absolutely terrible. Done with this place

Started at 12:30pm and finished at 5;35pm (5 hours 5 minutes). It just rained two days ago so parts of the fairways were slightly flooded. Other course conditions were really good! Has a really slow group two groups ahead of us that didn’t stay behind their group. Wished there was a marshal help keep pace of play. Was expecting a faster round since it was middle of the week, but will def check other courses before I come back.

Finally got to finish. And the pace was good. That's rare for those courses.

I had a 12:57pm tee time scheduled on a Friday and ended up teeing off 20 minutes late as the course was backed up. Pace of play was below average and took us 2.5 hours to get through 9 holes. The course was in decent condition with a fun layout. My only complaint is that hole 9 doesn’t end at the club house. It’s actually the furthest point from the club house. They do have snack/beverage carts stop by regularly. I think this would be a great course to play if you come prepared and snag an early tee time. I’ll be back to try it again.

Always enjoy CMCC they really keep the course in great shape very long 18 with a handful of par 5’s on los Lagos. For 70 dollars riding the value is there compared to other courses around. The only major issue with this course is pace of play. It took almost 5 and a half hours to play 18. I had a 12pm tee time and just got a full round in. Only other issue is being very hard to get early tee times in the morning on weekends. All that in mind still a beautiful challenging course and had a great day out there.

The cold in Southern California is unusual. But cold yesterday it was cold. Played 9 holes only.

The pace of play was very slow. Had to wait for many holes.
