Great course w/ great value.

Pleasantly surprised by the course and it's price. Well maintained, few physical issues that are not even worth detailing, great price. Above average practice areas. Course is laid out in and around a planned community w/ only a few adjacent fairways making it a little tight at times for those who might send a tee shot left or right. Some holes seem unrealistically long to make par but overall a good test of your club selection skills. Absolutely walkable with only a couple elevation changes that will give you a pretty fair leg workout. You need to give this course a try. Greens are pretty fast but smooth. Well worth the money and drive.

Find local course

Great course for a no frills round of golf. Green fees are doable, the driving range is excellent and the staff is the best.

Great Course, Not So Great Members

The staff, range and course are awesome. Greens roll fast. But we had 2 run-ins with “members” that kinda tarnished the day. One called the marshall on us on the 2nd hole thinking we didn’t belong or have a tee time scheduled. The other was wildly rude at the turn because we were trying to keep pace of play. They put us behind by 15 minutes. Aside from these interactions, the place was nice. Not sure we’d play again though.

Worth the Drive

I came up from Spring Valley to play the course, and was not disappointed. LOVE the course. A few fairways had some dry spots but not enough to be an issue. The sand in the green-side traps is very thin, with hard pan underneath - do not use your high-bounce wedge. The greens are in great shape, consistently fast and some are very tricky to read the slope. I carts have geo-fencing limits that will stall or stop the cart to keep you out of areas they don't want you to go, but there are very few warnings on the cart display. End result is that you don't usually know where those "fences" are -- got pretty tired of that! All in all though, the course is well worth the price.

Find course at affordable pricing

Great course for all of those. Looking to play late in the day. Lots of teetimes at decent prices. The course is in good condition and holes are challenging.

Greens were solid

A few dead grass spot areas but the course is in very solid condition and the greens were rolling fast and pure.

Neighborhood course

I’ve played this course many times and it can be a different course based on the course maintenance

Yesterday the rough was really deep so it was definitely a bit more challenging on my errant shots

The lack of real sand in the traps is just a mystery to me! Although you don’t necessarily need a sand wedge with the hard packed dirt.

Cart paths are terrible.

All of that said, I had a blast! Will continue to play it often. BTW… contrary to its name… it is not a links course!

St. Marks was better

Was my favorite course when it was St. Marks, but under new management it is not worth the price. Nothing has changed other than; wooden flag posts with white flags(very difficult to spot with the backdrop of white painted houses in the community), doubling of the price of green fees. The new fees are not justified, still horrible drainage, irrigation issues, course management with no Marshall. Pace of play is always slow and gets backed up right after hole 1. Mud, puddles and dry spots everywhere, the pathways are old and broken up( very rough cart ride).

This new management has ruined a local spot for golfers with these new rates

4.25 out of 5

Liked the fairways, and the greens were great. Some greens had dry spots towards the edges but didn’t really matter. Rough was challenging, liked that part. I walked it and it was nice walk. Steep though around holes 13.14.15.

Like the course but the rough was way too long. Impossible for average players to hit a good shot and we all spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME looking for balls.
