First Time Playing

Everything you could want in an executive course

This was my first time playing St. Mark executive and I loved it. The greens rolled great, the fairways and areas around the green were well kept, and several holes had challenging shots with trees and elevation changes coming into play. My only slight drawback was playing the same club for many holes. It seemed like half the holes called for a 105 club even though they ranged from 85-115 in length, the elevation changes called for a similar shot. Still, I will certainly be playing here again.

Fun Little Course

This executive course was bit bit on the short side but was really fun and forgiving to poor players and shots. Easily walkable and decently maintained. I will be coming back again with my 11 year old son and friends that don't play a lot of golf

A Great Walk

ST Mark Executive is always fun to play. Walked and played 18 holes (2 golfers) in 2 hours and 20 minutes. No show play! Course was wet due to recent rains but greens were in good condition after being aerated. A fun outing. Great hog dogs at the Tap-In!

Always a pleasure

We play about every two weeks and it is always a good outing.

Greens and most teeing areas are very good.

Always walk in under 3 hours.

Problem at San Marcos check in

I am sure I paid for 18 holes of golf including a cart. At the course they insisted I pay extra for a cart. I’m not a happy camper. They told me to take it up with Golfnow.

Where does all the water come from?

This course is always in good shape but suffers from some overused tee boxes and many very wet and muddy spots. The bunkers have little sand which is common in the area.

This is always a fun round of golf despite all the short comings I have mentioned. The greens are in great condition and roll fast and receive the ball well.

This is a beautiful course.

I golf here once to twice a month. It is 5 minutes from the house. It matches my level of golf and is great for my husband to practice his short game.
