Mesa Linda at Costa Mesa Golf & Country Club

Overall the course was in good condition. The holiday rate of $78.00 is well overpriced for this course. The pace of play was terrible. Just a little over a 5 hour round. Tee time start was pushed back 25 minutes due to a group of 20 to 24 they booked. No staff presence as a starter to get the group off in time.

I have played a lot of private and municipal courses and let me tell you this is the worst by far . The staff (attendants and green keepers ) are very rude making you feel uncomfortable since the beginning . It’s like they are paying you to play and not the other away around. The pace was also horrible, 5 hour round and only got to finish 14 holes. Staff cramped way too many players instead of caring about the pace of the course. Way too many 5 to 6 some pairings making you wait +15 mins on the par threes.

Played on a Saturday after 2 days of rain, so I expected a slower pace of play, After 3+ hours and 9 holes I gave up. Management should adapt to daily conditions and spread groups more apart. A waist of time and money.

Greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Pace of play was the only problem with the course because we played in the afternoon. We still finished in 4:20.

Only come here if you have 5.5-6 hours to kill. Every pin placement is on a slope. Mis your put by an inch or two with the softest touch and it’ll roll downhill another 10 feet. Sucks waiting 15-25 minutes after finishing the previous hole. Other than that, decent place to golf.

Had 12:48 t-time for 2 for 18 holes of golf!!! Tried to check in at 12:33 and was told to wait 10 or 12 mins for them to call. Checked back in 10 mins and asked if we could get a cart and again was told to wait for me to be called. Starter was obviously feeling pressure, not real friendly?? Finally was called, got a cart, and then found that we were two groups back on the tee??? Didn't check my phone but must have been 1:15 before we teed off!!! Still wasn't real concerned as Mesa course is short and has a low slope rating. On Hole #2 and being 3rd back on the tee again saw that there was a fivesome ahead of the 4 some ahead of us. Best description to me is "POOR MGT"!!! In my book of golf etiquette, 5 somes should never be allowed during public times on a golf course especially if some or all of them is walking!!! You have a nice tract there and obviously more than enough clientele so you can do what you want but to be honest with those who don't frequent the course regularly you might make note that t-times after 11:30am probably won't finish 18!!! In my book, I paid for 18 holes and only got in 15 so you owe me 3 holes of golf!!! I played Glen Ivy a week ago Wed starting at 1:20 and finished 18 holes earlier than the 15 I played here and I played Temecula Creek this last Wed starting at 1:00 and finished at 4:30. Both of these courses are longer and much more difficult layouts but there were obviously no 5 somes or overbooking. "Good Management"!!!

The course is in fantastic shape, however the pace of play continues to be awful! 5 hours minimum even during the week! Reminder.. women's league on this course on Fridays around 8-9am. The rest of the day will be incredibly slow. They cram as many people as possible onto this course! Tee times always start late and they even had the nerve to cram a 2some in front of us that wanted to cut in front of us. You'll see a cart girl out a few times which is nice, but you won't see a marshall moving things along. It's the wild wild Mesa!

Decent public course but always very slow play!! Layout is nice!

Takes at least 3 hours to move through the front 9….if it want for that would play much more often. Every round her takes 5 hours, other than that this place is awesome. Wish they would do something about pace of play.

This course is always a great time just as long as you underatand that the pace of play is a little longer than most courses. I will play again.

On the first tee there where 4 groups of 5 somes going out in front of us. I asked the starter if this was a policy now and he said “ if he knows the players ( meaning his friends) he will let them out as a 5 some. “ They really don’t slow up play”. My normal 5:15 round went up to 6 hours. This is ridiculous and completely disrespectful to the other golfers that game to enjoy their day.

This is out of hand and the GM needs to be held accountable for this!

Every time we play both courses its slow. Sad part is that the courses are nice. But is always backed up. Dont plan on finishing if you start after 1.
