Great value, great course

Tee time at 7:15 and finished at 10. Greens were in great condition. I’m guessing that’s from a combination of the recent rains and maintenance by the staff. Didn’t notice any pitchmarks on the greens either so that means players did their best to repair them. That’s always a good sign.

Course layout was straightforward but also challenging enough where you used the entire bag for approach shots.

At $40, it’s hard to beat the overall value/experience here at st. Marks.

We quit after the 12th hole as this was going to be a 6 hour round. I think it was because of a ladies tournament as the whole course was really backed up. I will now check in advance if there are any tournaments on the day I want to play.

Best value with Golfnow

With the exception of some some spots on a few of the fairways on the front 9, the course overall was in great condition. Especially the greens, but to be fair, they are almost always in great shape.

Great course, bad greens

This course is a lot of fun! Challenging holes, but a great layout! The only issues I had is that the pace of play out here is very slow, no Marshall’s, and the greens while they look great, are actually very bumpy!! The greens need a little bit of work! But I really enjoy this course!

A beauty

Just green carpet stuck at the base of the San Marcos hills.... tricky well manicured greens guard the short course, so take advantage of your good shot la and put the rest under the hole for a chance to save par!!! Enjoy

Great Greens

Tee’d off at 7am on Easter and played as a twosome in well under 4 hours. Super fun, great greens and overall solid shape and condition. For $48 it was an absolute steal. San Diego courses trump Los Angeles courses!

Great Saturday

Great old school track. Shot placement is a premium here.

Tip: if you’re taking out a new golfer (ladies/youth), the forward tees aren’t the easiest to play from.
