Great Course

Great golf course that is well maintained. Slower pace but for me I don’t mind as I am in no rush. People at the shop are nice and good at keeping the flow of check in.

Nice course, terrible pace

Los Lagos was a fun challenge to deal with some added length compared to other local courses. It was fairly well maintained, though fairways do have some bare areas. Greens were good and fair with some challenge due to contours. Generally a well designed course. BUT, the pace of play was terrible with at least 5 minutes of wait time on every tee box. Started at 1:00 and didn't finish till after 6:30. Eventually lost interest in the round as the cold ocean air moved in and the sun started to set behind the cool ocean clouds.

Grand Central Station

They jam t-times and it’s always a 5 1/2 hour round. If you play in the afternoon, you never finish. The staff knows it and they don’t care!

Decent price, decent track, watch for incoming balls.

Both tracks are always in good shape and price is typically under $40 depending on time of day. Pace of play can be great if you tee off super early, otherwise expect a 5 hour round. Watch yourself as the layout is very forgiving which is great but also people hitting their shots in to your fairway or even when your on the green as just the other day I was waiting to putt and a tee shot from another hole rolls right past my feet.

Good value, bad pace

This place is great; 2 good courses at a great price. Unfortunately the secret is out and this course is over booked. Groups of 5 that can barely get off the tee slowing pace is a bummer. That being said, it’s hard to find a course in this good of condition that is this affordable in Orange County. Also 2 good size putting greens and a chipping area and driving range; all in all a great practice facility.
