I have been playing golf since I was 11 years old. Grew up in Chicago, played on the high school and college golf teams. Moved to California in 1970. I play a lot of golf, average about 350 rounds a year. The only thing that keeps me off the course is frost. I'll play in rain, wind, fog, heat/cold, etc. I play super early every day because I hate waiting around.
As I age, it has become difficult to accept that I can no longer play to the level I once played too. While I still love the game, I have tended to isolate myself because I am embarrassed by the deterioration of my skill level. However, I am still on a quest to accomplish my long time goal of shooting my age. Finally on October 3, 2020 at age 72, I was able to accomplish my goal of shooting my age. Shot 71 at Coto de Caza - south course from the blue tees.

Not a whole lot to add to the prior review. The best part of the course would be the greens. Beyond that, not a lot of positives. Tee boxes still not totally open, so had to "make my own" tee box areas. The fairways are rather shabby right now as is the rough. I hope this is temporary.
I enjoy playing this course, now more than years ago, perhaps because it lacks all those "big" par four holes I can no longer reach in regulation. Still enough of a mix a holes to make it fun, and the green complexes just add to the enjoyment » Close Wanted to get out on the South Course before they shut it down for three weeks to overseed and aerate greens.

Greens rolled very true, decent pace (about 10 I would guess) still receptive. Bunkers are as usual - excellent. Same with the tee boxes. Fairways are a bit "spotty" so hopefully the overseeding will resolve those issues.
Now we will have 1000+ members all trying to play the North course for the next three weeks. Should be interesting. » Close Seeing that they will be aerating greens in a couple weeks, wanted to get out before then.

Tough time of the year finding courses which are not punching greens now. Always enjoy playing this fun shorter course. I say it every time, but I am always impressed at the green complexes here. Very interesting and challenging. Decent pace and very receptive. Good coverage in the fairways. Several tee boxes were a bit beat up, but overall, could always find a spot to put the peg in the ground.
Staff is efficient and accommodating. Also, like that the course does not "come in" after 9, so never have to deal with back nine play. If you have never played this course due to its shorter yardage, suggest you give it a try. I think you'll enjoy the experience. » Close Out early on a very mild overcast morning.

Busier than expected, but no issues getting out first so pace of play not an issue. Course is in very nice shape right now. Greens have finally regained some of their speed. They have been rolling them almost every day, so finally they are back to normal. Fairways, tee boxes, bunkers all very acceptable.
Since they will not be over seeding the North course this year, (South starts overseeding 9/25) just have to tolerate the aeration in mid-October. Trying to enjoy the weather, because all too soon it will be winter and will be dealing with frost again. » Close Out early on a very mild morning - 73 degrees at 6AM.

I know that in all too short a time, I'll be concerned about frost and how frigid it is playing here in the mornings, so nice to enjoy the pleasant weather in the AM.
The greens were not as smooth as normal. They need to be rolled. Also, not nearly as quick as usual either, but they were receptive. Fairways had good coverage, Tee box on #9 is really beat up. They need to close it down and rest it for a short time to allow it to recover.
Always enjoy my time at Dos Lagos. Dealing with Ruth in the shop is a great way to start the day. She is always super friendly and accommodating. One of the reasons I continue to patronize this course. » Close
