Very nice course but fairways in poor condition. Greens are well maintained and quite tough.

Nice course

Had foursome, pace of play was terrific (especially for Saturday). Greens a little inconsistent.Fast then slow,etc. Carts had no GPS and snack area was out of condiments at 2ish. Otherwise, enjoyable afternoon at a reasonable price. Golf Now $37.50

St. Mark's is a beautiful course with a great layout.

We enjoyed out round of golf at St. Mark's. The weather was perfect. Most of the fairways are wide and are 300-500 yards. There are a few shorter and one that is 600+ yards. On the front nine we had no waiting at all. On the back nine when we got to the 12th putting green, we could see 4 people putting and at the 13th, 4 people teeing off. We finished the 12th and decided to skip 13 and 14 because of the backup. It was a fun course,

A very good value

I played at 2 pm with a GolfNow hot deal. Course is in great shape fairway to green. Course layout seems to favor lefties with a fade or righties with draw. I prefer the back 9 layout over front 9 but not by a lot. Only minor complaint was I could not get a true roll on the greens... a bit of a bumpy ride to the hole but I suppose that had more to do with grass type and time of day I played. Definitely try this course.

Great golf experience for the money.

Great golf for the $$. Easily permits of a three hour 45 minute weekend pace. Notably friendly staff. Course apparently short, but interspersed with a few long holes, and many of the holes made very challenging by wind and course layout, all make this par 71 course a significant challenge, yet affording playability for golfers at all levels.

Greens Need Work

Overall the course was in good shape. Except for the greens. The greens are spongy and inconsistent. Not to mention they don't roll true. I played here two weeks ago too and they were still bad. They need sand and rolling badly.

Spongy Greens

This course is in great shape accept for the greens. The greens hold approach shots well but are really spongy. This causes the ball to hop all over the place and not hold a line. Very frustrating when you are putting well but give up strokes. Maybe if they sanded and rolled the greens the putting conditions would improve.

Convenient to Palomar Carlsbad Airport.

Greens were very nice; soft and well kept and the fairways were well and simply laid out.

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.
