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

Updating

They are working on getting this course back in shape. New tee boxes, landscaping and tee markers. Lots of fairway repairs too. Greens were slow but in good condition. The best part about the course is the varied and unique hole designs. Different looks and not a lot of repetition. Don't go to sleep on difficulty. This course requires good course management. All in all a good place to play, and getting better.

Hidden gem

This course has been reborn under new management. The course condition is above many other courses in our current drought. While the amenities are ok, I really hope a club renovation follows the course update.

All in all, this is a great place to hone your skills while you are challenged by dog legs, bunkers and narrow fairways.

Getting there but a little short

St. Mark is a decent course with an interesting layout that is worth a spin if you get a fee deal.

Overall the course is pretty flat and it lacks visual interest. The tee boxes are bothersome, some are new and have a very hard pan that has become very uneven with rolls or bumps in it, making it tough to take a balanced stance without standing on a big lump, or leaning. Bunkers are hard and thin on sand. Personal pet peeve - Grass is very spongy, 4 inches of thick gnarled cabbage all around the greens. Hey you have to play on all types sure, but for me there is no true golf shot from this turf, just trick shots. Fairway grass is okay, but again hard with sparse grass. On the positive side, they are updating many elements and this may turn my fair rating into a very positive one when the changes are complete. The greens were great, fair and rolled true. They have a nice practice facility to warm up. Staff were great, carts are nice and for $25 w/cart that we paid its a good deal. If it were $40+ for now I would play elsewhere.

Enjoying a nice summer afternoon

Really good conditions from tee to green considering the drought that we're in. Most of the course was still a shade of green. I even landed in a few bunkers and the sand was very playable. Much better than the last time we played about 6 months ago. Plays through a community of homes so lots of OB if you're spraying. Considering to add to our rotation

Great Twilight

The course was in absolutely fantastic condition. The greens were in amazing shape and the new landscape is awesome. They've turned this once rundown course into a true jewel in North County.

Nice surprise!

Nice variety. Very fair course. Only complaint was the group of six that played in front of us for several holes. One of the benefits of membership, I was told. Still, overall it was a good course, and I'lll be back.

Fun course to play.

Challenging course with undulating greens. Greens still a little bumpy. They are redoing some of the tee boxes and working on the course. Good pace of play. They have a dogleg left par 5 measuring 609 yards to an uphill undulating green. Will go back just to par this hole.
