Great course, slow play

The course was in great shape and the guys that I got paired up with were great to talk with. Only downside was the pace. We were supposed to start at 1:27, didn't tee off until 1:50 and were waiting on almost every hole. Didn't get time to finish as sundown is 5:30. Walked off hole 15 about 6 in the dark.

I'm not sure I'm talking to the coarse. I've played there for 20+ years, clubs and other events. I'm still a member of a club there. I've never seen conditions so bag. The person checking in was rude and acted like I've never been there and should bow down to him. I told him to cool off, it's not my first rodeo. Regardless of prior customer relations, happenings, etc, we are clientele looking to have fun. When it starts out like that, it's not.

Good price, assuming you have a chance to finish.

Third time playing a LL, and I have still yet to get 18 holes. 4:30 hrs and barely finished #14. The reason why is because the price attracts so many people, and the windows are exactly 10 mins. Why do so many people walk? Because they know they won't do all 18 and the price & plays are good enough for a front 9. Also the cart prices are almost half of the green fee. So mix in the walkers, the small windows, and the F9 distance, you will get a very slow round with poor pacing.

It's not any of the golfers fault and the course is good. I would recommend to management including the cart price transparently & upfront in the green fee, and allowing some walkers to do the back 9 so F9 isnt so stacked. This is why Mesa Linda goes faster because the F9 doesnt loop back to the club house.

If you play at Los Lagos, expect a 5+ hours during peak tee times, be wary that carts don't equal faster pace of play, and bring a friend who you can pass the time waiting at the tee boxes.

The course is in good shape, green roll fine, but the pace of play is abismal. 3.5 hours for 9 holes, waited on every tee box and at least 3 groups waiting on every par 3. I booked 18 and left after 9. It blows my mind that a golf course can think this is an appropriate way to book tee times. The regular I played with said this is the standard. It’s unfortunate that management chooses to maximize tee times at the expense of pace of play.

Great Course but Beware

Los Lagos- it’s an awesome course but beware of the pace of play. All par 3’s had about a 3-4 group wait.

My tee time was at 1pm on a Monday and this place was completely packed. Course is very well kept with nicely kept greens and fairways.

Hole 10 is dangerous as it is right next to the driving range. So as you are hitting you can see range balls falling next to you.

Bad Pace but Good Value

Played on a Sunday morning. Course is overall in pretty decent shape, some rough patches on the fairways but overall tee boxes and greens were great (and quick). Pace is pretty bad. We were on track for 6 hour round but flew on the back half and finished in just over 5 hours. For the price, compared to other courses around, it’s not bad value, especially the weekday prices. I’ll play here a good amount likely, but it will never be my top choice for a high quality round. If the pace improved to 4 hour rounds or better, I’d probably play all the time.
