Let me start by saying that I live less than a mile from this course yet I never choose to play here. The reason why that is the case is due to the amount of people they stack on the course. POP is a major issue here and the marshals dont care at all. Rob talked me into playing on Sat and we snagged a last minuet 9:30 tee time right after the mens club. Being that it was the only tee time before noon in orange county that wasnt $150 I reluctantly booked it knowing that it was going to be a long day. With cart the round was the rack weekend rate of $67 which IMO is not that bad considering where you are but id much rather play in the IE. We got off about 10 minuets late because I think the starter snuck in some womens club members in from of us but that did not matter. We waited on every shot all round and there is no way that they could have changed it. Los Lagos starts with back to back par 5's and a long par 4. After those hole it always backs up the par 3 4th and on this day there was a total of 5 groups on the hole!!!!!!! It took about 20 minuets between holes to play 4 and 5. After waiting around and failing to get a rhythm and stay loose the final POP was 5 hours and 35 minuets. As for the conditions they were average at best with the greens being the highlight. They were just soft enough to receive shots and ran rather quick. The Pin locations today were very tough as well due to the men's club having their sweeps. Fairways had decent coverage with multiple types of grass that extends to the rough as well just cut a little shorter of course. Sand was ok but you could tell hadnt been raked in days and it was wet from the morning dew. Overall if you are really jonzing for a round of golf and you cant find any good deals then this place it fine but if its a weekend you must factor in that its going to be a looooong day. Luckily they have usb ports on the carts so you can charge your phone while waiting on every shot. Also it says 4.7 but id put the conditions in the 5-6 range.

Was very thankful with how difficult it is getting any good tee times right now that Matty P secured a 9:30 foursome at Costa Mesa CC this past Saturday and was kind enough to let me and a friend tag along. We played the Los Lagos 18 with carts from the blue tees.

It was just my second-ever time to this course and second time playing this 18 instead of the Mesa Linda course. I was very much looking forward to the challenge of this track which, to me at least, plays much longer than its 6500 yards on the scorecard.

Conditions were pretty good across the board. Greens were deceptively fast and it was very difficult to harness the speeds all day for me. I was either very long or very short most of the day which was frustrating. Found mostly good lies in the fairways all day with some thin areas for sure, and some sticky rough along the fairways and near the greens. Bunkers were avoided all day but looked a little hard from my perspective.

The worst part of the day? The POP was dreadful. The course opens with back-to-back par 5s so that already puts a clamp on things with the waiting for greens to clear for the ambitious sort, but then we got to the par 3 4th hole and were three groups deep waiting around for 10-12 minutes at least. This pretty much carried on throughout the day and no marshall or cart service was around at any point to help improve things. I think we finished up in just under six hours. I love golf. I really do. But that's really pushing my love. You get no rhythm and just lose all sense of wanting to be there. Hopefully that improves.

Snack shop at the turn is open and there is also a bar area where people were eating inside and we could have a beer after the round. Mask restriction signs are all over this area but I would say it was about 50/50 with people paying any attention to it.

Still, it was a fun day with very good company and despite a poor round (with the exception of a great birdie on the 15th hole), I'm glad I had a chance to get back to CMCC. The next time though I'll have to tackle the other course to see what that's all about.
