Great value, bad pace.

Can't beat the course for the money, but be prepared to wait. Pace of play is tough at best.

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

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.

Course Review

I had a 12:57pm tee time scheduled on a Friday and ended up teeing off 20 minutes late as the course was backed up. Pace of play was below average and took us 2.5 hours to get through 9 holes. The course was in decent condition with a fun layout. My only complaint is that hole 9 doesn’t end at the club house. It’s actually the furthest point from the club house. They do have snack/beverage carts stop by regularly. I think this would be a great course to play if you come prepared and snag an early tee time. I’ll be back to try it again.

Solid muni one of the nicest in the area but very slow pace of play

Always enjoy CMCC they really keep the course in great shape very long 18 with a handful of par 5’s on los Lagos. For 70 dollars riding the value is there compared to other courses around. The only major issue with this course is pace of play. It took almost 5 and a half hours to play 18. I had a 12pm tee time and just got a full round in. Only other issue is being very hard to get early tee times in the morning on weekends. All that in mind still a beautiful challenging course and had a great day out there.

Not bad to start 2024

We started 30 minutes behind on the first tee, but then things started to move along. It took us just under 5hrs to finish 18 holes. The course conditions were very good, with some water accumulating through out the fairways but the tree were in good shape.

Pace of play wasn’t too bad

Started my tee time at 12:30pm and finished the round just after 5:00pm. Pace of play wasn’t too bad, but we did have a couple times where the par 3 holes were backed up by two groups. There was one marshal on hole 6 that was trying to speed up pace of play, but no one else for the rest of the course. I feel the group that was two groups ahead of us were the issue, but couldn’t see if THEY were backed up as well. Honestly I was expecting worse pace of play given the reviews, so didn’t think it was too bad. Will definitely come back to play since it was raining and caused some flooding of bunkers and fairways on the course.
