Great social scene marginal golf

Impressive bar and restaurant.

Older course noticeably dated layout.

Fairways not great shape. Greens pretty good.

No sand in well cared bunkers.

Must have had bad timing was pushing three hours to Finish 9 when I gave up.

Sloooooooooooooooow

Left after 3 hour front 9.

Normally pretty decent pace. Last 2 times have been 5+hr rounds.

Speed it up please. Love this course, but slow golf sucks. Maybe a Marshall? Maybe 5 minutes more between groups?

Worst cart experience ever! It ruined our round of golf.

Golfing many courses over 50 years and I have never had a cart experience that ruined a round of golf. The jerking and stopping and beeping constantly wife and I headaches, motion sickness and just a terrible feeling about the course. Brand new golf carts and they throw this cheap gps system on out that attempts to micromanage every movement ans speed of the cart. You can feel the computer struggling to decide how fast you’re allowed to go every food of the way. The course and play is a blur, all we can remember it the two carts that we drove. Club Car should demand that the gps be modified or replaced.,

The employees were sympathetic and admitted that there we weren’t the first to complain

The course is always in good shape with friendly staff. I'm retired and usually play the afternoon rate during the week. The Restaurant is very good also.

St. Mark Hits the Mark !!!

I love St. Mark. I've been playing here the last 1.5 years and have never had a bad experience. The course is always in good shape. The carts are nice. Love the bar and grill area. The bathrooms are clean. The staff is SO friendly (shout out to bartender Jared and cart girl Kirsten). I feel like the price is fair for the good experience you get at St. Mark....definitely my favorite course in North County.

Decent course

Course was in a good shape, but the tee areas were somewhat beat up with a lot of bare spot. There were also no level area. The practice range is adjacent to the 1st and 10th holes with no fence. There were dozens of range balls on these 2 fairways which means that you can easily get hit by errant practice shots.

Play here quite often so I decided to join. Friendly staff, good practice area and good food. Very convenient for me and would recommend playing here. Greens are good, one complaint is I believe the greens keeper keeps it to wet and the communist golf carts that stop you from going everywhere, even for normal proper cart etiquette..
