Great Round

I had a great round. Steve, at the front desk, was very hospitable and kind. The only problem was that I was paired with a young golfer who became very slow on the back nine. I believe it was because he had too much alcohol. He had trouble hitting the ball and took too much time to play. My round was not as enjoyable because of this distraction. There was a foursome ahead of the two of us that we failed to keep up with.

Excellent Course, Even Better Staff

I haven't played this course in about 2 years when it was still St. Mark, and holy cow what a transformation! The newly renovated space looks very sleek.

Chris and Luis in the Pro Shop were extremely friendly and professional, and the course conditions were excellent. Pace of play was great, and after 18 holes we had dinner at the restaurant. The food was as good as always; I had the birria tacos for the first time and they are my new go-to. And the drinks were poured very generously.

Just an overall great vibe all throughout this golf course. I will definitely be returning as soon as possible!

Overbooked!

Weekday play over 3 hours front 9, Back 9 not much better! Difficult to enjoy great track with two foursomes at each tee waiting.

Won't be back to this place

Late start, waiting every hole, 2-3 groups backed up on all par 3 tees, and clocked nearly 2 hours for 6 holes. Headed in as it would be 5+ hours, best case.

Walk Off After 6 Holes 😣

What a slog. Walked off after 6. Waiting 2 groups on 3 of 6 tee boxes. Took nearly 2 hours to play 6 holes. No marshalls. No bueno.

Difficult Greens

Fun course with lots of elevation changes. Greens roll true and you can shoot at the pins as greens hold well.

Pace of play

Enjoyable round of golf except for the people they teamed us up with. The staff should explain to everyone about ready golf and about pace of play. We had a couple pass up a hole because one of our group was so slow. I wanted to join them. A Marshall driving around would fix this issue as well.

Beautiful Location and Decent Course

The Links at Lake house is a picturesque, challenging 18 hole course with fast greens (month end May 2024) and 90 deg dog legs 😀 and hazards ☣️

Non golf facilities are quite nice however the pro shop is adequate - missing golf equipment and necessities.

Course is severely burnt (under repair) in many places and many greens too. Value for money significantly compromised. Geofencing is inadequately marked - a nuisance not a complaint.

Staff member who checked us in at the pro shop behaved in a condescending manner — hopefully an outlier. Many other staff members were considérante.

Price with cart and small bucket of balls and two beers $120 — 😩 !!!

Aweful cart restrictions!

The cart restrictions are aweful! The cart "cuts out" all over the course! You can't even get back to the cart path! You have to go in reverse the whole way back! This definitely detracts from a good golf experience and it slows the pace of play.

Amazing course

I just started golfing last year and this course is one of my favorites I've played. A lot of awesome hole layouts, well maintained fairways and greens, and great options to walk or ride at a good price. Would love to play again!

Great Course - Horrible Cart Paths

This is a great course to play: Tee boxes, fairways and rough are well-maintained and in very good condition. The greens are slick, tricky to read, so bring your best putter. Pay close attention to the course map in the carts - these carts are geo-fenced and there are many areas in which you cannot drive the cart. Only one real negative, and that's the condition of the cart paths - they're terrible.
