Prepare for your longest round yet

Love this course. The people are fantastic and enjoy the layout. But and this is a big but, forget getting your money’s worth on a full round unless you have at least 6-7 hours to spend playing. Today we found ourselves 2 hours past our tee time having only played 3 holes. Three groups were ahead of us waiting on hole 4. I suspect many people dropped out on the back 9 as it got slightly better but it was still quite bad. I understand there was a slight frost delay however this course is notoriously super slow regardless. When I went to grab a drink on the turn someone shared with me that friends are let in without proper tee times that cause the pace of play to be horrendous on weekends. No idea of the legitimacy of the statement but that would make sense. Book with caution.

Pace of play was too slow.

I only finished nine holes in four hours. I waited for groups to finish on every hole. This is my local course and I enjoy walking it and taking my time but I think 10:30-2:30 having played only nine holes is ridiculous. I’ve complained on a couple of occasions and the staff was nice enough to comp me nine holes but it is consistently slow.

Atrocious Pace of Play

Played a Wednesday at 10:30. Was sent out thirty minutes late. Round took over 6 hours. Waited at least ten minutes on every tee box. If you play here bring a novel with you.

Shocking attitude and organisation

On a packed Saturday people are allowed 115-ball buckets on the driving range. No chance of warming up. Chipping area the size of a postage stamp with people allowed to chip 20-30 balls at a time. On putting green people turn up with eight balls. No discipline by management. When I raised the issue with the man behind the mic he told me to go play Pelican Hills. What a stupid and rude person.
Stopped after nine holes because we were 12 waiting on the tee for every hole.

Improve the on line booking process

It’s challenging to book tee times since the course website opens at 6:00 a.m. and sometimes has bugs that interrupt a booking long enough that you lose the time slot. Please improve the online booking process.

New management needed

This course is a fun layout with good greens. However the management is horrible. They always over book and could care less about the players. Played on a Saturday. They had college matches on both courses. Teed off 40 mins late. Pace was so slow we left early. Starter didn’t even care. Place needs new management who won’t consistently overbook. If you play here, expect 5 hour plus rounds

Great OC Value

Fun, long course in beautiful Costa Mesa. Weekends pretty busy so plan on a long round. Once you except this the more you'll love this course.

Slowest round of my career.

20-30 mins wait between each hole. Does not matter how s@@&$ the wait and conditions. Played 4 holes in 90 mins. Was another 15 mins before tee off.

+5 hour round on a Wednesday

Started at 12:30pm and finished at 5;35pm (5 hours 5 minutes). It just rained two days ago so parts of the fairways were slightly flooded. Other course conditions were really good! Has a really slow group two groups ahead of us that didn’t stay behind their group. Wished there was a marshal help keep pace of play. Was expecting a faster round since it was middle of the week, but will def check other courses before I come back.
