Stop stacking the tee time so tight

It’s a joke anymore. Lagos took over 3 hours to play the front. The marshals just sit in the shade on the carts on the first hole. Go out and speed groups up. No reason to be stacked four groups deep on multiple par threes.

DO NOT PLAY

My recent experience at the Costa Mesa Country Club Golf Course left much to be desired. While the course itself had its merits, several factors significantly detracted from the overall enjoyment of the game.

First and foremost, the pace of play at this golf course was by far the slowest I have ever encountered. It took an astonishing two hours just to complete a mere four holes. This prolonged wait between shots was incredibly frustrating and disrupted the flow of the game. It seemed that the management could have implemented better strategies to maintain a more efficient pace, such as enforcing stricter time limits or adjusting tee times accordingly.

Furthermore, one of the main contributors to the sluggish pace was the lack of golf etiquette displayed by some beginner golfers. It was evident that many players were unfamiliar with the basic rules and courtesies of the game. This lack of knowledge resulted in unnecessary delays and added to the overall frustration for those seeking a more fluid round of golf.

To make matters worse, I observed a disheartening trend among some golfers on the course who resorted to cutting holes without any consideration or communication. This behavior was undoubtedly driven by the excessive wait times. While it is understandable that long delays can be exasperating, it is important for golfers to respect the course and other players by adhering to proper procedures. Such disregard for the integrity of the game only serves to perpetuate a negative cycle and further diminish the overall experience.

Aside from the issues with pace and etiquette, I was disappointed to discover that the snack bar at the Costa Mesa Country Club Golf Course charged for tap water. It seems counterintuitive for a golf course to prioritize profits over the basic provision of hydration, especially considering the physical demands of the game and the necessity for players to stay properly hydrated. This policy struck me as both unnecessary and inhospitable.

In summary, while the Costa Mesa Country Club Golf Course has its redeeming qualities, my recent visit was marred by the slowest pace of play I have ever encountered, taking an excessive amount of time to complete just a few holes. The lack of golf etiquette among some players and the practice of cutting holes without consideration for others only exacerbated the already frustrating experience. Additionally, the snack bar's decision to charge for tap water seemed unreasonable and incongruous with the needs of golfers. These factors combined to create a subpar golfing experience that I cannot wholeheartedly recommend.

NEVER PLAYING HERE EVER AGAIN.

Great day with friends

I booked a 4some for this day and we had a great time. Course was in great shape. Only lost 1 ball ( my fault in the water). The rough was not too bad and made for a challenge if you didn't hit the fairway.

Never underestimate this muni. If they cleaned up the bunkers it would be near Goose creek quality. It's local for me so I'm always thrilled to have a time to play here. Play it with confidence because it will not disappoint

Things are good but too slow

I would make the golf course more authentic by keep the play interval at least 9 minutes and have marshall encourage some slow playes to keep up. A lot of good and gentle players lease the game after discouraged by 3 or 4 team wait on hole 3(?), one of the first short hole. Our team wzited for 25 min. To plat taht hole.
