st. mark

fairways on front nine were thin. on the back, they were more lush. not too many burnt areas. bunkers were ok, not much sand.

overall, it was ok. but i am a hacker with a 17 handicap. and on a budget.

Great Course

We were a three-some and had a fourth added to our group given it was a Sunday. There were a few groups stacked up in front of us and one pushing us from behind but had an overall great time and everyone was friendly.

nice day on the golf course

The new CARTS are AWESOME, super to sit on, never seen such nice golf carts. Course was in good shape, greens receptive. Several troublesome spots on fairways due to recent hot weather, but overall the course was in great shape. Pace of play good today.

could be a great experience if the course were properly monitored

Just in front of us, a 4some of junior golfers playing what seemed to be a scramble format, however, they at least let us through. Slow play on the part of the 4somes in front of us, but when we got to the 10th tee, out of nowhere there was a man and his daughter, she obviously was learning golf, hit multiple balls off the tee. Then they drove out into the driving range to look for several of her errant shots. They were NOT on the front nine. This was reported to the pro shop, who did send someone out to investigate, we were told by that staff member that the course was aware of this man and his daughter. The course itself is nice, some fairways are perfect, soft greens, too bad NO ONE fixes their ball marks. Could be great, just needs someone to pay attention to managing the pace of play.

Challenging course

This course is challenging because it plays longer than the yardage indicates. It was in Excellent shape, old California course, fairly flat with some elevation changes. Kakua grass makes it difficult around the greens. Overall I think you will have a good time playing this course.

This course is well maintained.

We golfed in the afternoon and were done in 4 hours. There were golfers in front and behind us but the pace just moved along. The course is beautiful and fun to play. We will be back again and again.

Love this course

Play this course a few times a month. Most times I walk on and almost always get paired up with great people. The course is in great shape. Could use some sand in some of the bunkers.

Worth the money

Greens are in great condition, fairways are very thin with a lot of ground under repair, conditions in the bunkers are not consistent, some have great sand and others like hitting off concrete. Overall a nice course for the money.
