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.

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

Green aeration

Didn’t notice the green punched when I booked the tee time.
April fools day four sum played it was a strong wind and the temperature was down.
The weather to play golf was not good .
Thought that it would be needed at least two more weeks to recover the normal green conditions. That’s why
we were able to finish 18 holes in 4 and half hours not more than 5 hours.
