A great time

Played the blue tees 6398/126 score 79

The fairways and greens are in very good shape. Not a lot of trouble off the tees but the greens are sneaky fast to me. You have to pay attention to speed and on some holes I didn't and walked off with a 3 putt.

The practice area is stellar ... the only thing missing is a bunker practice area.

Staff/restaurant are always tops. I'm treated professionally and with courtesy each time and this may be the main reason I play here so much. They just make golf a fun, andpleasurable experience.

If you are in north county, St. Mark should be on your must play list.

Walked

Spring has arrived

I have been playing St Mark on a regular basis since December and winter conditions made the course a little rough to play but the greens were always fast and perfect. They have reseeded a lot of areas and specifically the approach from 100 yards in and the grass is excellent. The staff at St Marks makes it worth coming back, they are very friendly and helpful all the way from the grounds crew to the pro shop and restaurant. They are why I keep coming back.

Golf course is in very good condition. The greens are in fantastic condition. They roll the greens and paint the holes.

Just wish it was a bit longer/challenging.

BYO dust mask

the fairways, except 10 and 18 are basically dry dirt with some closely mown brown weeds. Yick. There are some puddles where the sprinkler system leaks. Similar to Castle Creek. Yick. Its only going to get worse as we head into summer.

Misleading

Drove to course 50 minutes from airport. Upon arrival pro shop said only walkibg allowed. I asked for a push cart and they were all out. I adked them to cancel the tee time but unsure if I will get refunded.

Big waste of my time and probably money. Bad experience so I wouldnt go back. Too many close courses nearby to worry with these guys.
