Watch the houses along the fairway and try to hit th ball straight
Course is well maintain very friendly staff. some of the holes are challening only because of the narrrow fairways.greens have just been punched,greensshould be in great shape in a few weeks.
Pretty well kept
Fairly flat, fairways greener then most so Cal right now. For Sunday play the greens were terribly inconsistent, plus had a lot of disease. Very difficult to gauge speed from one to next. The rough around the greens were punishing. A couple of novelty type holes. But over all fun. I would play again.
Excellent value for money
Extremely friendly staff, course suitable for all levels of players.
Nice course... except..
I had not played here for several months.. I was surprised and very disappointed at the condition of the greens.. patchy, bare, and brown areas were the norm. I can tolerate brownish Fairways... but sub standard greens are unacceptable...
Not bad if you get a cheap rate!
My wife and I played Oct 13th, had an 11:30ish tee time. Last time we played here was 2+ years ago when it was Lake San Marcos, now it's St. Marks Country Club. The course design hasn't changed much. We stopped playing there because course conditions were so bad that it was a joke to be called a golf course! Since the 'new name' course conditions have improved quite a bit. Most of the course had grass, and green to boot! The rough wasn't too tall that you couldn't hit out of it. Sand traps were excellent condition, best part of the course!! The fairways had grass, about 60% of the fairways had good grass, the rest was so thin and hard it was hard to hit off of. The greens for the most part were not in good shape! All of them looked good from a distance but two thirds of them had bare spots and looked bad! About 4-5 greens were in good to veyr good condition! My wifes biggest complaint was the womens tees were too close to the blue tees where I hit from on quite a few holes! We played for under twenty-five bucks and decided we'd go back but wouldn't be willing to pay more than that!
First Timer
I had never played the "new" St. Marks when it was Lake San Marcos. I had stayed away because friends told me it was a bad track. However, since the new owners have taken over I decided to give it a try. I thought the course was in very good shape. Some holes are very easy and others are very difficult. I can't remember which hole it is on the back nine but it is a LONG par 5 measuring over 600 yards from the blue tees. Very difficult with a very small undulating green. Anyway, I enjoyed my day even though I played horribly. I would recommend this course to friends.
For sraight drivers
tree and house lined fairways show need for driving accuracy. Mostly small greens with false fronts. greens somewhat hard to read becuase of hills and valleys
Great course
I play here often and always find a new ways to get around the course. A lot of holes offer multiple ways to get in. Varying pin placements and Tee boxes also add to the challenge. Always leave wanting to come back and try something diffenrent.
Hot day but well worth it
Course was well maintained and enjoyed the round as the staff was friendly and the timing of the starts allowed us to finish the round in just over 3 hours. Great value and close to my house. Will play again soon.
Enjoyable outting
The course is a nice course that weaves around the housing community. Pretty open but there are houses on both sides so sometimes one might get in the way. I enjoy it very much and will play there again.
Much improved except for the name!
I played Lake San Marcos for the first time in over 2 years and was impressed. Not a fan of the Hoity Toity name change but I'll get over it. Everything was much better from a few years ago, paved cart paths, nice fairways, greens and bunkers. Even the traffic heading home on eastbound 78 was better... LOL LSM is definitely back in my North County rotation, especially with a great hot deal.
Average Club
Okay club and course. Nothing really outstanding. 3-4 good holes. I usually dont comment on the food service but theirs was truly average. Would skip next time.
OLD STYLE COURSE
It's a traditional layout without elaborate water features or terraced flower beds, but provides a pleasant golfing experience. Greens were in good shape.
Great Experience!
This was our first time at St. Mark. The pro shop staff was very nice and even made it easy for me and my girlfriend to get out as a twosome. Not bad for a Saturday afternoon. My girlfriend has never played on a regulation course before... Just executive courses. It was a very pleasurable experience for both of us. The holes played well and the course was very well groomed. Some backup here and there but very realistic.
After that round.. We even decided to inquire about membership. The experience was inviting and just plain fun. Nice course St. Mark. Keep up the customer service.. It goes a long way!
St. Marks back nine
Course was in good condition. No water throughout most of the course. Bring your own beverages if you come because of discounted greens fees. Could not play the front nine as a club tournament and "Derby" round was still on going at 4:00 after an 8:00 shotgun start. Obviously, non- members take a back seat for this course. Beware of houses and apartment complexes that are ridiculously close to the course.
Hot deal
Got a hot deal for 33 dollars on a Saturday at 2 PM.
Would not pay rack rate for this course, although it is in nice shape, but a hot deal was a good price. Course in nice shape for the middle of summer. Wish they would bring back the walking deals they used to have on golf now.
Soft greens
The greens were so soft that my ball embeded in the green on the 5th hole with a sand wedge. Over watering is the issue. Greens looked faster than they were since they were so soft like a sponge. Made chipping difficult to judge and struggled to get the ball to the hole all day. I stopped at the snack bar at the turn and the girl working was closing up, no hot dog for me.....go to the bar and get something she said. Not very friendly. Overall I would not recommend this course if you have other options.
Good track
Pleated here a handful of times, this last time the pace was really bad. Not only that, they had a twosum and single following three four sums. The course is in ok condition, the greens were in bad shape due to a junior championship qualifier played last week but they look like they'll recover quickly.
slow play
while junior golf should be supported, this should be told before signing up. this was a practice day for the participants in an upcoming tournament. coaches rode with kids, lessons being given on course and sometimes 2 or more balls hit. a course that normally plays in 3 1/2 hrs took an hour longer
Agreed, played here 11/22, "some of the best greens in San Diego" is a complete joke!
