Los Lagos at Costa Mesa Golf & Country Club

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!

Decent public course but always very slow play!! Layout is nice!

On the first tee there where 4 groups of 5 somes going out in front of us. I asked the starter if this was a policy now and he said “ if he knows the players ( meaning his friends) he will let them out as a 5 some. “ They really don’t slow up play”. My normal 5:15 round went up to 6 hours. This is ridiculous and completely disrespectful to the other golfers that game to enjoy their day.

This is out of hand and the GM needs to be held accountable for this!

I like this course a lot. Would play here more often but it’s a little a little tough to get a tee time without being a member. It’s a solid value and course conditions are always good. The one issue I have here is pace of play. Ive played here around 10 times and I can’t remember if I’ve ever had anything under a 5 hour round. They’re usually backed on the first tee and the pathetic thing is that they have a starter. I played yesterday and it was a disaster. They were 30 minutes behind and 4 groups waiting on the first tee. Inexcusable imo. Other than the staff not being on top of things and more organized, the course itself is very enjoyable.

3 hours to play the first 9. 3 foursomes waiting to tee off at 2, 3, and 4. Took 20 minutes to play the first Par 3. Ridiculous. Will NEVER play again. 4 hours to play 12 holes then it got dark. They need to get their business together.

Great round for the price. Tee off early to beat the back ups that cause long rounds. Course Marshalls could do a better job controlling traffic. Tee’s off a little after 7 and was done in 4 hours.

Too many beginner players playing as fivesomes. Course needs Marshalls to help move play along.

It seemed like there could be something done in getting the foursomes in front of about 8 foursomes' . They ere the ones holding up play . Or perhaps just puting groups to close together. I've been playing this course for 40 years, this was the worst. I would only recommend this course with the caveat , very slow play.

Rental clubs: when looking through clubs it showed 2 fw3, 2 9irons but no driver and no 6iron. After some confusion this was fixed. Driver off first tee and picked up 6iron. I have not in many years seen a dirtier club. Looking through all clubs the only clean club was the putter. No towel on bag to clean clubs. Both me an my party/wife had dirty clubs. This was not what I expected when paying for rental clubs.
Pace of play: we waited at every hole, and many times during the holes also. We shere a party of 4..This was sell below expectation.

The group in front of us was taking 20 min per hole AnD no help from the Marshall if there was one. The group in front of us didn't understand playthings and by the time they got to the turn the two holes in front of them were empty. Good course otherwise. Here's a shout out to the cool guys in the pro shop who endured a horrible rant by the starter wearing a red jacket who pulled his cart up the window and for 5-6 long minutes gave an obscenity laced shout out through the proshop window with F bombs and more, in ear shot of 30 people. He even came back for a 2nd beat down 15 min later. Totally inexcusable, and really showed bad for a pretty well organized operation minus NOT having a Marshall fix slow play in front of. My group ran out of time and patience and left after 8 holes and wasted a lot of money, and time. We couldn't endure 10 more holes of getting ice cold between swings.

First, thanks to the pro shop for getting me into an earlier slot than my original 2PM time. I chose to walk because I read previous reviews about pace of play. I don't know why anyone would bother paying for a cart when walking is just as effective. Course management is booking way too many tee times. It took nearly 3 hours to finish the first 9 on Mesa Linda. I quit after 14.

5 1/2 hour round, greens were punched but had no idea till the first green. I really do love both courses here but the pace is just to slow. Marshall wasn’t doing anything to help. Really should consider more adamant spacing for tee times instead of focusing solely on the dollar. Really is a shame

Takes at least 3 hours to move through the front 9….if it want for that would play much more often. Every round her takes 5 hours, other than that this place is awesome. Wish they would do something about pace of play.
