Pace of play horrendous

Just stop overbooking this place please, the course is fun but waiting 40 min each hole is nuts, 2 hours from the moment I teed off and I only got through 5 holes…

NIce but slow

The staff was very friendly but the course is very slow, probably because they book tee times 8 minutes apart and do not enforce using the white tees. Greens were in good shape and the fairways for the most part were good. The pace of play was 4:45.

Fast round on an early Saturday a.m.

Los Lagos was in very good shape, greens and fairways were in great shape. 4 hr round in a group with 4 walkers.

A Good Walk Spoiled

Okay, so I borrowed the title from Mark Twain. But, I actually rode. I have played her for over 20-years. Decent course(s) (Los Lagos & Mesa Linda). I played Los Lagos. The main complaint is the pace-of-play, be ready for an exceptionally SLOOOOW ROUND. You may get lucky with a Tuesday through Thursday booking. I played Friday. Other than the extreme slowness, everything else is pretty good.

Poor sportsmanship

I made the reservation about 2 hours prior to the tee time and chose the wrong course. My mistake, yes, but Costa Mesa golf course charged my credit card for full rate!!! I have played this course hundreds of times over the past 20+ years and have never missed a tee time !! Shame on you Costa Mesa golf course for being so greedy. Worse customer service for $38😤

Friendliness Poor

Pace of play

No course Marshall. We played behind fivesome that included 3 that were walking. There was no enforcement against this so many groups exercise getting away with it.
