The Links at Lakehouse

1st time playing at this course and will play again.

This place has really come around, and who doesn't love to tee off #14?

Fair way is so bad. The grass of some fairway is nothing.
the green is little slow.
I don't want play anymore at this kind course.

...the staff were very accomodating and friendly, including the fieldworkers, the course was greener than most in the area, we had a wide range of handicaps in the foursome and all were challenged and satisfied with the day...coulda been a few more signs to locate the place...

Haven't played at St Marks ( Lake San Marcos ) in 10 years. Course is much the same - a lot of upgrades to the club house and other facilities. Lots of 'dog legs' left takes some shot planning.
Perfect weather - all courses could use some rain.
Enjoyed the day.

no waiting teed off within five minutes of assigned tee time. most greens in excellent condition. best to have more than one sleeve of balls. pro shop staff were excellent.

Lots of work being done to the course, whcih will enhance the course. new bunkers, fairway repairs. Good warm up area, excellent caring staff.

Lots of the past reviews have talked about course improvements, I do not see them. I have played this course a lot and as honest as possible it is in bad shape. The money the new owners have all seams to have gone to the hotel. The Greens of the course were so inconsistent there was not point in reading the greens. The only thing they did was add a 1/4 inch of new white sand in the traps, they look nice but play the same as the old traps. Overall, its the same as Lake San Marcos.

Despite a San Diego cold day (59 degrees at noon), my twosome again enjoyed this pretty course. We had a slow group ahead of us, but who cares you're playing golf on a Wednesday! We finished 18 holes in 4 hours 20 minutes and arranged a tee time for the following week.

Course is very good for the money. Staff is awesome and the greens in GREAT shape. For the area. Definitively one of the better courses.

This course shows it history well. A great older club house well kept but on the rise with new owners
Great deals on good food now the course
It is also on the rise . New carts
Good greens
Fairways a little dry . (No rain in Jan)
Lots of tree trimming going on to open up view and shots
Plenty of challenge to keep all golfers busy
Friendly staff good value Recommend you play

Really short mainly for seniors. A few challenging holes but most are short and straight

Pace of play a little slow for a weekday. May need to stagger the times a little more. Sensed some friction from the members. Could use reminders we in the public are keeping their club open. Didn't like being yelled at while the nice hot dog girl brought out our stuff. We weren't in the their way from approaching the green. Isolated problem I suppose, but will come back as everything else was satisfactory or above.

For a budget minded golfer its a decent deal. The fairways need work for sure.

Greens are the clubs major defense with a few of them being silly in terms of pin placement. Medium and long putts that go in are more luck than skill.

The undulations in the greens really don't make much sense and a couple of the greens leave you scratching your head.

If the fairways were not bare it wouldn't be too bad, but based on pace of play, fairway conditions, and absurdity of the greens I wouldn't play there again.

Food in the bar/restaurant was good.

This course had very fast, well maintained greens. The firways and rough were a bit spotty, and could use some work. Overall this course was challenging, and I would surely return again to play.

Over booked. A little over 3 hours to play 9 holes. Better spacing or management of the bookings. Beautiful course, will return to play another day just hope they space the foursomes out better. $34 for 18 holes at a 4 to 4.5 hour pace is a great value.

Easy to see the investments made over the last year, every time I come back things are a little better.

Greens are fast and true fairways in nice shape good value for the money

Also, known as the Lake San Marcos Country Club Course...at least that's what I found...
I enjoyed this course even though it was nestled within a community and had those tight holes with houses on either side.
The day of I was paired up with another guy, which was cool because it may have been more challenging to find my way around if I wasn't with someone who had played the course before.
Another thing we experienced the majority of the round was the greens reading one way and doing something totally different. This was my first time playing the course so I could always use that excuse, but the both of us were getting the same reads and yet the line/speed would do the complete opposite.

This was just a nice course that, while a little tricky on certain holes had nothing very special about it. It was very helpful to have a guy that knew the course well, give the rest of us very valuable hints on the tricky holes. The "Hilltop" signature hole was nice but aside from it, nothing else was memorable. Because it was somewhat out-of-the-way, at $39 for mid-week rate, this was at best a fair and reasonable price for this course. By the way, the snackbar was closed even though it was a rather busy day.
