Rude

The two clowns behind the counter are rude. These guys must have worked at the DMV! Maybe they'll realize theyre just order takers. Not even fit to work at Burger King. Freakin DORKS!!!!! The wait staff is great , however the Pro-shop dorks need customer service training!

Nice course, best price in Orange County, good conditions that I play frequently but tee times are too close together and it is VERY SLOW. 3 hrs. 20 min. to play 9! NOT GOOD

Pace Slow for Weekday

Took 5 hours to play round. Hole 2 had 4 groups waiting at tee. Course needs to manage pace better. Don't wait until late morning to send out marshals. Keep pace moving requires continuous management. Get more to play closer tees.

Special Place

I played this course on my 42nd birthday with my wife

I’m an avid golfer, golf enthusiast and I take pride in my journey to become a scratch golfer. This course was not only beautiful but the maintenance the layout just the overhead view is gorgeous and honestly under price for it’s worth and what it brings to any golf lover.

I want to join the men’s club and make this my home course after church one round

If you enjoy 6 hour rounds go play Costa Mesa, they dont marshall the speed of play, most people playing the course dont know what ready golf is.

Resident for 30 Years - Gets Worse Every Year

I’ve been a resident of Costa Mesa for 30 years and having been playing Lagos and Mesa Libra since that time. I only play occasionally because it’s 10 minutes from my house.

This course gets worse every single year. Overbooked, lengthy waits, and poor surfaces.

If you want to turn a golf round into a 7 hours disaster then this course if for you.

Never coming back

Always overbooked.

Took over 3 hours to hit 9 holes.

At one point, there were 4-5 foursomes waiting at a tee box

Each shot hit resulted in waiting.

Tee box, wait…fairway, wait…layup wait.
