What Costa Mesa Country Club does

Costa Mesa Country Club is a municipal public golf facility owned and operated by the City of Costa Mesa, located at 1701 Golf Course Drive in Orange County, California, with its on-site restaurant (Tavern on the Green) operating since 1971. The club features two 18-hole championship public golf courses — Los Lagos (Par 72, extending over 6,600 yards with wide rolling fairways, large greens, and four lakes) and Mesa Linda (Par 70, approximately 5,700 yards of target golf with doglegs and small greens) — along with a 100+ acre practice facility equipped with 30 night-lit LED driving range bays, 15 grass stations, two putting greens, and a chipping green. The club serves public golfers of all skill levels, tournament organizers, wedding and event planners, and participants in organized men's, women's, senior, and junior club programs.

Revenue is generated across nine distinct streams: green fees ($19–$65 per round depending on course, time, and residency status), driving range bucket and card sales, the Tavern on the Green restaurant and 19th Hole Bar, pro shop retail (Titleist, TaylorMade, Callaway, Mizuno, etc.), banquet and event rentals in two recently renovated rooms (Los Lagos capacity 350, Mesa Linda capacity 185), PGA professional instruction, tournament entry fees, club rentals ($25–$40), and gift cards. Distribution occurs primarily through direct online tee-time booking powered by Golf Channel Solutions, phone reservations, the GolfNow marketplace, on-site pro shop retail, and dedicated banquet and tournament coordinators (Nicki Turner and Kyle Wilson, respectively).

The club maintains a strong community ecosystem anchored by its Men's Club (200+ members with SCGA membership and weekly competitions), women's clubs (WPLGA-affiliated), senior clubs, and junior programs including a Summer Session ($125) and the Costa Mesa Junior High Golf League. Professional instruction is delivered by a PGA-certified teaching staff with over 100 years of combined experience, supported by 3D launch monitors and video coaching technology. The annual Costa Mesa City Championship, now in its 53rd edition (2026), is one of Southern California's premier amateur events, with past winners including PGA Tour professionals Scott Simpson and Mark O'Meara. Marketing is conducted through a direct website, an Email Club offering up to 40% off tee times, an SMS Text Club (CMCC to 411247), and active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Direct peers

• Dad Miller Golf Course: Municipal public 18-hole golf course in Anaheim, Orange County. Closest geographic and operating model peer to CMCC — same Southern California municipal public-golf positioning, similar green-fee price point, similar community-focused programming.
• David L. Baker Memorial Golf Course: Public municipal 18-hole course in Huntington Beach. Comparable public-golf positioning, multi-purpose facility (golf plus community programming), and similar price tier to CMCC.
• Brookside Golf Club: Public municipal 36-hole facility in Pasadena operated by the City of Los Angeles. Comparable two-course municipal operation with practice facilities, lessons, and banquet/event space, scaled similarly to CMCC's 36-hole footprint.
• Willowick Golf Course: Municipal public 27-hole golf course in Santa Ana, Orange County. Directly comparable on geography, public-municipal ownership, multi-course layout, and lower-mid price point for Southern California public golf.
• Meadowlark Golf Club: Public 18-hole golf course in Huntington Beach, Orange County. Comparable scope and customer base — recreational public golf, banquet facilities, lessons, and tournament hosting in the same Orange County market.

Broad incumbents

• Troon Golf: Global golf and club management company operating hundreds of courses worldwide. Comparable diversified revenue stack (green fees, F&B, events, instruction, retail) and tournament-hosting expertise, but at portfolio scale far beyond a single facility.
• American Golf Corporation: Largest operator of public and municipal golf courses in the United States. Broad incumbent that manages facilities structurally similar to CMCC (multi-course, public access, F&B, banquets, lessons) at much larger portfolio scale.
• Torrey Pines Golf Course: City of San Diego municipal 36-hole facility and PGA Tour venue. Larger, higher-profile public municipal course with comparable ownership structure and championship heritage, but at meaningfully greater brand scale and pricing tier than CMCC.
• KemperSports: National golf course and club management company. Operates and manages public, municipal, and resort golf facilities across the U.S., comparable operating playbook (golf + F&B + events + instruction) at greater scale than CMCC.
• Harding Park Golf Course: San Francisco municipal 36-hole public facility and PGA Tour host. Same public-municipal, 36-hole, multi-revenue-stream operating model as CMCC, but with a substantially higher brand profile and championship-level tournament pedigree.
