Los Lagos at Costa Mesa Golf & Country Club

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.

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.

Overall the course was in good condition. The holiday rate of $78.00 is well overpriced for this course. The pace of play was terrible. Just a little over a 5 hour round. Tee time start was pushed back 25 minutes due to a group of 20 to 24 they booked. No staff presence as a starter to get the group off in time.

3 hours for 9 holes and waited on every hole.
Teetime was 1:15 but could play
until 1:45

Played on a Saturday after 2 days of rain, so I expected a slower pace of play, After 3+ hours and 9 holes I gave up. Management should adapt to daily conditions and spread groups more apart. A waist of time and money.

Greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Pace of play was the only problem with the course because we played in the afternoon. We still finished in 4:20.

Only come here if you have 5.5-6 hours to kill. Every pin placement is on a slope. Mis your put by an inch or two with the softest touch and it’ll roll downhill another 10 feet. Sucks waiting 15-25 minutes after finishing the previous hole. Other than that, decent place to golf.

Had 12:48 t-time for 2 for 18 holes of golf!!! Tried to check in at 12:33 and was told to wait 10 or 12 mins for them to call. Checked back in 10 mins and asked if we could get a cart and again was told to wait for me to be called. Starter was obviously feeling pressure, not real friendly?? Finally was called, got a cart, and then found that we were two groups back on the tee??? Didn't check my phone but must have been 1:15 before we teed off!!! Still wasn't real concerned as Mesa course is short and has a low slope rating. On Hole #2 and being 3rd back on the tee again saw that there was a fivesome ahead of the 4 some ahead of us. Best description to me is "POOR MGT"!!! In my book of golf etiquette, 5 somes should never be allowed during public times on a golf course especially if some or all of them is walking!!! You have a nice tract there and obviously more than enough clientele so you can do what you want but to be honest with those who don't frequent the course regularly you might make note that t-times after 11:30am probably won't finish 18!!! In my book, I paid for 18 holes and only got in 15 so you owe me 3 holes of golf!!! I played Glen Ivy a week ago Wed starting at 1:20 and finished 18 holes earlier than the 15 I played here and I played Temecula Creek this last Wed starting at 1:00 and finished at 4:30. Both of these courses are longer and much more difficult layouts but there were obviously no 5 somes or overbooking. "Good Management"!!!

The course is in fantastic shape, however the pace of play continues to be awful! 5 hours minimum even during the week! Reminder.. women's league on this course on Fridays around 8-9am. The rest of the day will be incredibly slow. They cram as many people as possible onto this course! Tee times always start late and they even had the nerve to cram a 2some in front of us that wanted to cut in front of us. You'll see a cart girl out a few times which is nice, but you won't see a marshall moving things along. It's the wild wild Mesa!
