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.

Used cart

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.

Surprisingly good

1st time playing it. Didn't really know what to expect after reading some of the mixed reviews. Golf carts are not old and the cart paths are not that bad. Greens were awesome as were the fairways. The only real issue we had was how high the rough was. Very high and thick. Don't understand why that is. Pace of play would be much quicker if it was cut to a normal level.

Challenging - needs pace of play marshals

Challenging with seemingly small but really firm greens. Rough even a foot off a fairway was tough. Pace of play was slow but I'd play it again at a different time of day (morning vs. afternoon). Staff was great. Restaurant was pricey but food and service was excellent.
