Overall good, but

Overall the course is in pretty good shape, but there are a number of greens that have some blighted areas that can interfere with play. Pace of play isn't terrible, but it isn't great either.

Good but not great round

Strictly speaking of course and cost only. Greens about average to above average. Fairways and tee boxes average to below average. Pace of play was good.

Full price at prime times would make this course 2 stars. I couldn’t justify cost to course conditions commanding those prices.

It’s a $35-40 course and layout at best. If you can get that price, play it.

But other courses are doing the same. Jacking up prices to make up lost revenue during the pandemic.

Staff, practice area, restaurant are 4 stars.

4 hours and 45 minute round

The course was nice. It had a good practice facility also. We played on a wednesday at 12.20. We waited on every single shot except putting on every hole. On some par 3s there were 3 groups. Could not get into rhythm playing this slow. It was a nice course if it were not for the pace of play.

Overall a nice course. Plenty of challenging holes. Sand bunkers need more sand. Pace of play was good since we started early. 7:20.

Good value. Traps are hard pan

Good time. Greens were on the slow side but fine. Traps were in very poor condition due to compaction or lack of sand. If you can hit off cart paths (pick it clean) you will have the shot needed to get out of St Marks traps. Otherwise you will be disappointed at the lack of maintenance.

Greens are good, but fairways are a mess

The fairways are really beat up. They all need a ton of work.
