A Walk on the Course

St Mark Executive is a great course to develop your short game. We played/walked 18 holes in 2hr 39min. Greens were in excellent shape! Well with the price of admission!

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.

Best Executive Course in County

To add to the great layout, the greens, fairways and tee boxes are in maybe the best shape in the 30 years I’ve been playing this fun executive course. The bunkers could possibly use new sand, but the staff keeps what’s there manicured nicely.

Great executive course.

Conditions were real good! A few areas were wet but they were free drop zones. Greens were true and consistent. Good craft beer and food in the clubhouse. Only complaint is the putting green. Terrible condition.

Always Great

Nothing to complain about at all. Poor water drainage is an issue in several areas, but if you' stay on the fairway you'll never see it. I always look forward to playing here
