This course is amazing!

This is a great course for novice players or for those who want to practice their short game. The greens are in excellent shape. It is a very fun course to play in 3 hours.

Enjoyed a day off & the pace was great. They did some aeration on the tee boxes, but the course was in great condition.

Fun course in great condition.

Great executive course. Lots of short par 3’s mixed in with a few short par 4’s. Greens are in great condition and fairways are well maintained. Small restaurant at the course that has good food and specials nightly.

Best par 3

This is a great par 3 course maybe the best in San Diego. That's some good long holes and some challenging short ones.

We were a twosome playing during spring break so play was slow. Have played before and enjoy honing in on our short game skills. Will play again.

Best value

This course is a great confidence booster! Greens are great, tee boxes were beat up in spots. This is a great executive course. Holes are not overly challenging but also not too easy either.

Glad I Came Back

Played about a year ago and enjoyed it. Finally had an opportunity to return. Aprons were deep and trim, inviting you to putt. Greens were great. Fairways in good shape. Lost only one ball--due to a hook. Never hit off dirt. Some bunkers are strategically placed but only found one. If you walk, as we did, there are more elevation changes than any other executive course I've played in San Diego County (a little hard on my wife's knee). Loved it!

This course has a private club feel

Course was excellent. Well maintained and challenging. The initial check in could be improved. If you haven’t been there before it’s confusing where to go.

Great Par 3 Executive Course

Played this course with my wife. Had a great time. The pace of play can be a little slow as most of the holes are par 3's, but it wasn't too bad. We finished all 18 in under 4 hours.

The greens were in excellent conditions. The holes that had fairways were in average, maybe slightly better than average condition. The rough areas lived up to their name, and had some patchy dead spots. The grass in the rough was that Hawaiian grass that grabs your club and twists it making missed shots a severe penalty. My knock on the course conditions is the tee boxes. Granted it is a par 3 course so most are taking irons from the tees, but the tee boxes were not large enough to take that abuse (so they could spread the tees around) and none of them were level with most having mounds and domes on them. It would be nice to see the course re-do the tee boxes making them 2-3 times as large, and leveling them off.

The "clubhouse" is a nice setup. Kind of reminds me of a micro-brewery, but without the brewery. But has that kind of feel. Had a bar, nice patio spaces, overlooking #1 tee and #9 green. The inside also has a simulator where you can hit your driver (there are few holes on the course that you can do this, and really none if you can drive >275yds). The bathrooms were also clean.

I enjoyed playing this course and will probably play it again, but I would look for a GolfNow "Hot Deal". The $23-29 I paid represented an average value IMO.

We played St. Marks executive as a threesome at

noon and finished in about 3 hours.

It is 18 holes, mostly par 3's with some level and

some hillside greens.

The greens were in good condition, fairways had

typical California spotty.

This is a great course for sharpening your short

game.

Had a fun time!

It was a pleasurable day at golf. No waiting. Noticed that there were water issues with piping. Some of the grounds were extremely wet.
