Pace of play kills the experience.

Had a 1:51 tee time and couldn’t even finish all 18. Group of 5 directly in front of us that the pro shop apparently “allowed” because they knew people who worked at the golf course. Marshalls couldn’t enforce pace of play on them so my group barely finished 16 holes after 5.5 hours. I would avoid this place

Terrible Pace of Play

So I know this course plays slow, it’s always a 4 hour and 30 minutes to even 5 hours for a round. My tee time was at 10am on a Tuesday. I had a 6 hour gap in my day and I live 10 minutes from the course so plenty of time, I thought. I wish I was exaggerating but standing on the 12th tee box, I walked off because it was 1:40pm, 3 hours and 40 minutes to play 11 holes. This was on pace for a 6 hour round. The pricing is very fair for the condition and layout of the course. Both sides are fun and interesting layouts for the money spent but 5+ hours for a round of golf is too long. If you haven’t looked around lately, I’d look to other local courses in OC.

Ungodly slow rate of play

Every tee box was backed up two groups at least. They stack tee times to tight here. It’s a shame, fun course good price but the rate of play is unacceptable. 5 1/2 hours for 15 holes

The worst experience

What a shame! The worst experience in my golf life of 20 years all over the world! Two guys of the threesome group behind us destroyed our round hitting over us with bad intention ignoring our reminding. It’s too dangerous, we had to leave, it’s not worth the life for a golf round. We complained after telling the story to the staff in the golf shop. It seemed like a bad dream! What a shame for the two rude and ruthless guys.

worst experience ever

we had a tee time at 1:06pm on Tuesday Sep. 19, mesa linda, the group before us are beginners and very slow, we had to wait a long time every hole. we had 2 girls player behind us, but came out 3 guys from the first T, 2 guys riding were impatient and rude,but we couldn't go anywhere! The hole 14 par 5, one of the riding guys long hitter tee off even over and almost hit us while we were waiting the group before us, the worth this was that he hit on the next tee box while we were waiting there, we told him he should yell something, it's too risky, he just ignored us and hit on the tee box, and the other guy argued with us saying they didn't want wait to hit. the worst things continued, the 2 guys hit over us in the next hole short par 4 while we were approaching the green even though we yelled no! so, we had to quite and leave, it's too dangerous! the worst experience in all my more than 20 years golfing life all over the world! what a shame! could be more rude?! never go back there!

First Time Playing

Good overall value, great conditions, very slow

Pros: great price with golf now special, conditions great, greens perfect and ran well, flag/hole placement challenging, long and wide course, long par 3s, cart girl came around multiple times. I thought even though course was wide open (not really losing balls on OB shots), the rough was thick so it made it fair. Greens very challenging in my opinion with slopes and hole placement so when you got away with a par and 1 putt you felt you really deserved it. Would play again if I could get an early am tee time on weekday and knew I had 5 hours to spend. Stiiiizy down the road so load up prior to playing.

Cons: very slow as mentioned by others with the group in front of us putting like they are on tour but really just older folks who don’t know etiquette. I feel a lot of the golfers don’t know etiquette here and maybe reflective of low prices paid. Marshall came around hole 15 and said he told the group in front of us to speed up. Could have used him about 4 hours prior. Saw someone towards the end with a broken down cart and they said they were waiting 20 minutes and still nobody to help. Also breakfast burrito to go didn’t come wrapped and fell apart after 2 bites.

Somethings never change

As I've reviewed the course in the past all I can say is that the particular pro shop guy on this day was a more courteous individual than those I've encountered in the past. Pace of play on a weekday was as miserable as a weekend outing, 5.75 hours for 18 holes is Unacceptable Period ! Either use empowered Marshall's or stop stacking Tee times on these courses. With an influx of new golfers courses are making money hand over fist and it's been a detriment to the paying atmosphere and time to complete a round . Otherwise I really like the course itself but probably won't book there again .

Unprofessional

Pro shop workers were distressed because their card machine was broken. Told us to come back at the turn pretty rudely to “settle” our tee time payment. Pace of play was terrible, Marshall didn’t come around until the turn. Waste of a round & then they charged me for a full round
