Wide open resort type course

Generous fairways, but some tight pin positions will keep you on your toes. Fairways in pretty good shape, tee boxes could use some work, and greens are excellent, perfect speed.

Nice course to play.

Mid Afternoon Outing

Book a 1:48 tee time on a very hot day for two. The pace of play was great! We played 18 holes in 3 hours. Greens were in in excellent shape. Overall a very enjoyable outing on a hot day in San Diego.

St Mark hit the mark

Very nice layout. Generous landing areas given the course runs through housing tracks. Greens were in great shape and the fairways were lush. Walking friendly with challenging holes (including a 600+ yard par 5). I'll definitely be back for more rounds.

St. Marks Golf Club - Great Condition

This course has come a long way since I played it several years ago. The greens are in fantastic shape and most of the fairways are, as well. Friendly staff and a great value. I will definitely make this course one of my regulars.

A good course.

The play was a bit slow, and the greens a bit fast. But overall a good course and a good value.

Good Value and nice greens

The fairways were in pretty rough shape, but the greens were very lush and receptive, giving lots of spin.

We went on a Monday, and I booked a two some on Golfnow, as I was going with my 10 year old son. We actually got a discount for him at the pro shop when paying - nice touch.

We were behind a 4-some of seniors, who played very slow (no marshalls). After playing the first 10 in about 3 hours, we asked them if we could skip ahead (skipped 11) as there was nobody in front of them. It took us about an hour to finish the last 7 holes.

This course has some mighty par 3s and 4s, in addition to some shorter holes. A couple par 4s were over 450y from the blues, and a 600+y par 5. I like that challenge when there are short exec courses for the same price.

When the price is right

Some irrigation issues with standing water throughout the course. That's far better than dry! The hog deal price makes it worth it.

Disappointing day.

We played last week, great pace of play. Today, slow play and twice there were two rude twosomes who leapfrogged ahead of us. The other two we were playing with said these rude people were members. If so, shame on them as they are ruining the course experience. No marshalls in sight.

Recent Greens Aerification, Temporary Green & Tee Overseeding... Wait 2 Wks

Greens were aerified and topdress in the past 7 days. Still moderately bumpy from aerification holes.

My complaint is that the GC Supt prefers to water the greens using the automated irrigation system rather than hand water the greens. The result is WET sand in bunkers and sloppy wet green perimeters. So wet, that mowers leave ruts or in some cases, areas just don't get mowed at all, leaving excessively high roughs and generally unfair rough heights.

So yes, the golfer is penalized numerous ways. Greens will require healing (don't play before 11/15) and slow play for lost balls that are either plugs or lost just off the green perimeters.

The 12th green has a temporary green placed approximately 50 yds in front of the regular green location. As an afterthought, a hole is placed in the fairways but turf is not mowed down nor is the cup cleanly cut, meaning, you won't be making any putts.

Tee markers are either combined with others to the front or very back of every tee to accommodate overseeding, which is understandable. White tees are either placed with the Blues or Greens.

It was very quick to play #3 hrs, 25 min) because there were so few golfers playing that day. That also meant, NO beverage carts or marshals either.

The course will be very good after the greens heal, the roughs cut and ryegrass on the tees kick in. Personally, I would wait about 2 more weeks before even thinking about returning, regardless of the price.

Fun Course...Greens in Rough Shape

I found this tee time on golf now at a great price, but there was not any notification that the greens were being aerated. I'm accustomed to seeing a warning on the golf now site alerting that aeration recently occurred or is occurring, but not this time. Would have been a great course otherwise.

ST Mark Colf Course

It has been awhile sine my partner and I have played at St Mark GC. The course has undergone upgrades to the driving range nd tee boxes. Both areas nee more time for full growth. The driving range was well used and will/ need more tender loving care soon. Most tee boxes were good and are experiencing lots of use and will surely be better next year as they will have a couple of growing seasons to mature. Modt greens need increased ball mark repairs as many players just do not care or will not repair their marks. Our group made numerous repairs to other players marks, but the course staff needs to concentrate on making the greens more playable. We will play again when time permits and wish to to a knowledge that the course has improved and the remodel efforts are paying off. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to play a good course with moderate difficulty. We did not experience food service, but could not change rating when inadvertently touching a STAR.

Enjoyable Round

Had not played this course in over five years. Teed it up with a buddy who had not played the course. We were both pleased with the conditions of the course and consistent roll on the greens. It appears the new ownership has invested in maintenance. One hole had a temporary green, but the expansion of the original surface is another indication of ownership's commitment to improving the course.

Old School Golf

This reminded me of playing public golf 30 years ago. A very traditional layout starting with the red, white, and blue tees directly in front of each other. Fairways were good, with a lot of kikua grass around the greens. Many of the greens were old school smaller, with average speed.
The best part was how close the houses were to the course. You could hear the knocking of balls hitting roofs as you played. Marshall was very friendly
