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😤

Challenging course. Good shape.

Have played both courses at this facility. Las Lagos is much more difficult. The course is in good shape. Hate paying such high green fees but hey its CA and someone has to make up for the low rate they give to residents. Wish they wouldn't cram so many people on the course. You can count on a 5 hour round for sure.

Early play with good pace

Played about a half hour after sunrise and the pace of play was good. Sometimes later in the day it can get backed up, but was good today.
