The Links at Lakehouse

The course is in good shape. My only problem is they charge to ride. Never did before. It stinks.

Great course, great pro shop, beautiful dining and friendly staff. My one complaint would be the GREEN... EVERYWHERE. ALL over my clubs, my shoes, my putter, my towels. Freakin irritating. Don’t let that stop you tho.

This is my home course. I typically walk to the course, play nine to eleven holes in a late afternoon. From there, my wife and or the family will join me for dinner on the patio with live music (check the schedule). Nice amenities, great service (ask for Paul Ortega at the bar), and wonderful way to feel a club atmosphere open to the public.

I have played this course a few times a year for the last 20 years. I play well over 100 rounds at various courses in the north San Diego area each year. The course has always been stuck with the aged layout. The houses line the course tightly and define the flow. Unfortunately most people can't help hitting the houses (not me), too bad for the residents. And BTW why invite people to "go for it" on #14? You are just asking for house bombing, maybe move or fill in the pond. Today I played first tee time and was paired with guys hitting balls all over the neighborhoods. Not the real problem. The fairways were in horrible shape, mixed grasses and dead spots painted green. Over-watered tee boxes that were slippery and difficult to find reasonable places to tee from. The sand bunkers are just OK, not the best quality and quantity of sand. The greens have always been tough with too much slope in many places, so why cut them so fast? It doesn't make sense, many unfair pin placements with the ball rolling back to you. If you want to be a PGA destination then OK fix everything raise the price and the local golfers won't play. Realistically make the course playable and inviting for the average recreational golfer. Don't ask me how to do all of that, not my job! I don't want to hear that COVID has limted your income to fix things, since most courses are booked solid and have been for months, raking in money. Oh by the way I love what you have done with the tee box monuments and landscaping over the years, it helps, a little.

The course layout is nice as it meanders through the homes in beautiful San Marcos. There were some rough spots on the course with dry patches of ground and several areas of too much water. My playing companions and I were wondering why the course is so wet. Aside from that, the pace of play was good and the day was beautiful.

Early in the round we had a cart malfunction and the staff brought us another cart within 10 minutes.

Excellent customer service!

This was my first time at St Marks. The fairways have a lot of ground under repair and a lot of thin spots. It would be a tough course on a good day, but todays wind made it even harder. There was so much debris blowing all day and the greens were covered. 2 putt rule for sure. I look forward to playing on a non-windy day.

We have been going to this course for years. We have recently noticed the staff was rude but it was an easy, fun course for the whole fam and ignored them. Today the cart guy told us to be done within an hour after paying for a tee time- which we did. We turned in our cart and forgot our wallet- bonehead move but came right back. The wallet was returned $100 short. My husband was told that he should be happy he got it back. Will not be back or recommending to anyone.

One of my favorite San Diego area courses, St Mark is an interesting track with a lot of character. Several very challenging holes offset by some good scoring opportunities. Great amenities and the staff is always helpful and friendly. Beautiful venue I strongly recommend to any golfer looking for a reasonable chance for a good round. Course and greens are almost always in great shape.
