Played this course on Sat, May 2nd. Got lucky to get a 8:51 tee time. Pace was great; completed in 4 1/2 hours. Greens were smooth after recent aeration but not cut as short as they normally are. Overall the course was in very good condition considering price. Great value at $42 including cart. Will definitely play here again.

I played on Saturday, Dec. 8, and I finished in 4 hours! I think the threat of rain kept people away. The weather was good and the pace was great. The course is in good shape. Normally, the bunkers are muddy and hard packed, but I noticed they were raked and fluffy, even after a day of rain. The greens are always in great condition. The only thing is that they really need to get it together for the teeboxes. Some are great and some are bad. Overall, it is still the best deal in SoCal.

I have been playing Linda and Lagos for the past couple of months now. The greens were punched a couple of weeks ago, and they have recovered nicely. The pace has been good latley. As for the quality of the course, they are really trying to make it better. The tee boxes are in the process of being upgraded. They are making paths from the tee box that lead to the fairways. The only bad thing is the bunker qulaity. It is horrible. The course workers do a great job on everything else. I don't understand how they don't rake the bunkers tgo make them fluffy. The majority are hard packed, if not muddy. Other than the bunkers, you can't beat the value!

Played 9/18. The course is undergoing some tee box repair on a few of the holes which shortens the course some. Overall, the course is in excellent shape, kudos to the ground crews. The greens are ... Continue »

Played 9/18. The course is undergoing some tee box repair on a few of the holes which shortens the course some. Overall, the course is in excellent shape, kudos to the ground crews. The greens are smooth and roll true. This is one of the best values in OC.

Greens were very good and the best I have seen in quite a while. Play was pretty slow!! Took 5 hours when we played last week. About average for this busy course. Sand traps were not good. Only about an inch of sand covering hard mud. Fairways were pretty good considering the heat. Tee boxes were not always flat and need attention. Why can't they get them flat???? Greens playing pretty true.

Time: 12:52 tee time in the afternoon

Driving range: Yes, one grass and two mat hitting areas
Putting green: Yes, two next to club house and one near the locker room area which may be for instructions only

Comments: We waited twenty minutes once our tee time came up for the group in front of us teed off, the course was slow on the Saturday morning. There were a group of women to play after us, and after waiting so long they gave up and went back to the pro shop to ask for a refund. This is the only course we have played so far with the wait so long at the tee. After 4 holes we thought we finally got space between us and other players, but at a long par 5 we got backed up again behind two groups. Ended up watching one of our guys feed trail mix to squirrels. There was no check-in person at the first tee which should have helped with pace of play and the one time we did see a marshal, he was just driving around talking on his cell phone.

We found out the delay was due to a tournament ahead of us, so the course did not time manage well since that group was also hosting a "Hole in one" challenge that caused them to bring out measuring tape on one of the holes. Out of the group I was playing in two said they would never play this course again, which is a shame since the cos was cheap ($30, cash only) and the layout was fine with trees situated along the course. The rough sections were notoriously wicked since they were not cut well and many a balls were hit to them but lost since the overgrown grass would swallow them up easily. Fairways were green with no noticeable yellowed grass and some flowers planted along the cart paths. Sand bunkers were a plenty, but sand was compact with my 3 times in the sand I was able to get out in just one shot with a sand and iron used. Some of the bunkers were deeper than on the courses I played so it looked like when you see PGA pros sunk deep in them when we were playing. Many of the courses were dog legged with few super-stright gains, so you either blasted through or over trees or brought out your 3 wood to work the ball around a turn. Greens were fast and with various bumps, I was the only person to manage a birdie on the entire 18. Once hole played to the right of the Harbor Avenue, and one of our big hitters hit one onto the street, hopefully no car was hit at this process.

Overall: A price for the course as reasonable for an mid-OC location, good fairways and tree locations. Course play and ranking were hampered by the overgrown grass and horrible waiting time. We play par 72s usually in 4.5 hours, this course broke all records and took us 5.5 hours and wasted the great weather with waiting and waiting. Customer service at the pro shop was bad, no acknowledgment to customers or mention of the tourney nor delays and I didn't even get a receipt. Worst service I have ever had.

Played for the first time on 6/4. The course is in great shape from tees to greens. If players would repair the greens and rake the traps it could be much nicer. The greens are what is going to get you...there are subtle breaks so you must pay attention. The POP was okay at 4.5 hours, but should have went faster.

Nice Course to play under 4 hrs on a Sunday.Green are always in Great Shape and Better than most over $100 Courses.

Played yesterday and had a great game. But did not score that well due to the greens. But great value. I'll be back.
