Fun golf course

Good golf course. Greens were in very good shape,, a little soft in spots but overall very good. I advise taking a cart, it would be a tough course to walk.

Over Watered

There’s been no significant rain here since Nee Year. Yet the course is saturated to the pint that carts had to stay on the path, and of course they don’t tell you this until you arrive. Too much walking for my 75-year old legs and my 77-year old buddy had to quit after 15. Beyond that, it’s slower playing pace, you’re moving your ball out of puddles, and you cannot play your best. I hope was taken to task for wasting what has to be massive amounts of water. Almost forgot. To add to the challenge, they put put a huge earthmoving machine in the 16th fairway, 150 yards from the White tees. Bravo guys.

The redeeming factor for this place is the 19th Hole, probably the best in the county.

Disappointed

Muddy, cart path only, waited on almost every hole, cups hadn’t been moved in a couple of days apparently. We were not advised it was cart path only until we were on the course.

Good Condition

I was very happy with my experience with this course. It was in good shape. It was a good value. They have two large practice putting greens and a driving range. The pace of play was good. I played here about 4 years ago and it was fine then but was even better this time.

First time playing here. Course was okay all around. Staff was friendly. It was a little pricey but nothing ridiculous. I'd play here again but I'd check out some of the other close by courses first. No real complaints though.

St Marks Review

This is a very well run course and a great place to play golf and relax. The golf course is scenic, relevant, and challenging. A delight to play and while challenging it gives the casual golfer chances to attack and score -- be careful though :). Independent of the course golf course management and amenities this is a great piece of land to play on.

The staff is spot on. Experienced, knowledgeable and efficient they do there job with a great attitude that the scratch golfer or beginner enjoy.
