7 hour round

Our tee time started almost an hour past what was supposed to be our normal time, and from then on average half an hour per hole. Just miserable

You will be waiting for 10 minutes per hole due to the pace being so horrible. Should be illegal for them to have this many tee times without a marshall. Would not recommend playing here for that reason alone. Course is good, conditions were good, price was good, but I will not be returning. Multiple people leaving the course early due to attrocious pace of play.

Never again

This course has let me down multiple times and today was the last straw. They were apparently hosting a tournament and failed to let anyone know. I had a 1315 tee time, and when I went to the tee box at 13:10 they had 3 foursomes still waiting to tee off, starter assured me they were getting things moving and that there was a tournament playing in front of us. Teed off at 13:47. Ended up skipping the 9th hole and calling it at 1700 as we were on pace for a 8hr round. Utterly ridiculous will never come back and caution others to stay away, plenty of other similar courses for same price that are much better managed.

Nice ocean breeze.

Courses are nicely maintained. Almost as good as a semi-private course. Highly recommend to play here if you haven't yet.

summer time excellence

The 2 Costa Mesa course's have always been a great stop for me and my golfing buddies but this is the best time of year to get a tee time. Greens are great and you need to stay below the hole. Tuff pins and speedy greens will be the challenge if you can't control your approach shots. However, the day was awesome and score (83) from blue tees was acceptedable. I can't wait to get back to Los Lagos and try again ...

Extremely Slow even on weekday

5 hours and 45 minutes round on weekend is unacceptable. But on a Tuesday?? Waiting on every holes, Just slow…
