Great Value for the Price!

The Los Lagos course was in good shape, but the greens were great! Good layout and fun to play. Best value in Orange County for the Price! Would

Need sand in all course traps

Couldn’t see the sand in the sand traps without the soil.

Some of the bunkers are as hard as a rock.

Restroom was not clean and out of the hand papers.

restaurant and bar staff

The rudeness and arrogance of the wait and bar staff was totally unacceptable. I do have to say the lady working the snack bar was amazing. I work at a private course and club, there service would not be tolerated.

Long journey

Tee off time was 1:33pm but started after almost 20 minutes late 1:50pm.

As usual,

Took the 3 hours to finish front 9 and another 2 and half hours of back 9.

Some hard and fungi tee box are required the maintenance.

Would be better to a little shorten par three 7th hole in order to save time .

Always at least 3 or 4 teams are backing up.

Slow play, good greens

Came to Costa Mesa on business and this course was closest to the Airbnb. Played the Mesa Linda in a five some. They let a lot of them on the course. It should play faster than it does, but I think when you start with the number one handicap hole and follow it with a par 3 things get jammed up right away. Tricky greens that were in good shape. Some of the bunkers could use a bit more sand. It’s an enjoyable course when the pace is right. It did pick up on the back, but expect a slow round. Decent driving range with grass and mat options. Grass being irons only. Good putting/chipping greens. Really I’d come back just for the greens, which kept fooling me all day. That and the atmosphere. Friendly staff. Met some nice people here.

Pace of play is TERRIBLE.

Don’t get me wrong, the check in staff @ starter are really great people. But the pace of play is terrible. 3 hour front 9 and ended up a 5.5 hour round. They really need to fix this as they are known for their SLOW rounds. This was the first time I played here in about 2 years thinking the pace of play would improve but I was wrong. Never coming back

Double Booking

This course is known for double booking and loading the course up to over capacity, with a Marshal doing the starting at hole 1, it didn’t take long for the group behind us to hit into us on hole 1, hole 2 we were on the green and the group behind us shot on the green, hole 3,4 okay hole 5 they shot over our head, we were held up by the groups in front of us, no place to go, but Costa Mesa got there money and more, they put groups out 3-5 minutes apart and then there is no marshal out there to control the course, it’s horrible, I forgot about the double booking, it will be a while before we go back
