Cheap golf!

My son and I got too hot deal passes on golf now and played this great executive course for $10.99 each! Nothing less expensive around! The course was in great condition! Never waited at all, played with another fellow, who was a super nice guy, enjoyed our selves immensely! And again for $10.99. Can’t beat it!

Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone about this place

Seriously THE best staff, carts, and course layout of any exec course in SoCal. A totally hidden gem that is great if you’re playing with families and new players, small groups, and even just getting to know the local neighbors.

The Pro staff is super chill and not stuffy like other courses.

If you want a longer course, The Links is a great option too and is a partner course within a mile of the Exec.

Pretty sure I play here 3-5 times per month and it’s always a good time.

Great Round

Was my buddies B-Day, so it was my treat.

Started on time.

Pace of play was ok.

Took 2 1/2 hrs to play all 18.

Some sections still soggy from recent heavy rains.

Forgot my hat, but got great customer service from cart return gentlemen. (gave me a hat from lost & found)

Had one of my best rounds ever this time out!!!

Windy weather
Walked

Still needs to recover from the rain

this is a fun course - but does not do good with wet conditions

also, the pace of play here can sometimes be frustrating

it's overall a fun course, and a great place for someone who is learning to play!

will definitely play again

Advise to wait for Cali to dry out

Always a fun layout, greens were good and fair. Problem was course, which has wet spots in best of times, was soggy from recent rains, and mowing restriction from rains made for patches of deep clover in rough making it difficult to find wayward balls and hacking it out as if playing US Open. Look forward to playing here again when moisture level returns to normal.

Bring your mud flaps

Course is underwater in some spots and overgrown mostly everywhere. Probably should disclose the courses conditions, maybe, you think?

Muddy Day

I’ve played this course quite a few times and was looking forward to playing it again. Unfortunately with all the rain the area has had lately, the course was very wet and muddy. The greens were in great shape.

Dangerous when it’s wet!

I have played Saint Marks executive a few times in the last couple months but after it had rained quite a bit lately, the golf course apparently does not drain very well. In particular the eighth hole down the hill where the green is is a real boggy mess. My footjoy shoes did not hold, and I fell flat on my back and butt and head and gave myself whiplash. I managed to complete the round, but have been pretty stiff since. I am 73 years old, and had it been much worse I might have owned the place! Ha! Anyway, I enjoy the layout normally, but when it’s wet it can be dangerous.
