Great executive
St. Marks Executive is a gem of an executive course. With 14 par 3s, and 4 par 4s, this course offers a range of fun short shots and the opportunity to bring out a longer club here and there. The greens were recently aerated, but should be prestine in a month or so. Elevation changes make the course fun. Get out and play it!
Greens were carpet smooth and true
This is an executive course. We played all 18 holes in 2 hours. It had three holes over 200 yards and was quite tight. The greens were outstanding with a challenge to read. Great peaceful round. No hyped up staff or players. A lot of fun.
A pleasant round
The course is located in a wonderful area. Well kept. The only minus is that the great part of the holes are around 90 yards. A bit boresome. It's useful practice though.
GREAT EXEC COURSE
I had not played this course in over 10 years... it is under new ownership and they have done great improvements. The greens are flawless.
Highly recommend!!!
Great for an executive course
Perfect for what it is. Can be finished in a timely manner and still have most of the day still left. Green, fairways & roughs are really good. Overall would recommend.
We like this course
My wife and I like to play this course. Greens are great.
Awesome course!
St. Marks has done extensive work on their Executive Course and it shows! They have a really fun restaurant/bar called Tap In with great food and drinks. The course itself is a great place to brush up on your short game or just enjoy a beautiful walk while you swing the club. One of the best deals in golf!
Big OOPS
I used to live in the area and have golfed at both the courses before. They are nice. So when i saw the "hot deal" I bought for a few days out. On Moinday it was raining where i live and I called the course at 11. My tee time was 12:20. The guy I spoke to said the course was open and no rain although it had been on and off. I would have to use my Golf Now purchase or lose it. I drove the 40 minutes to the course and got there just before noon. It was not raining but was told they were closing at 2 PM. I could get nine holes in, they told me. While they gave be a rain check, I drove 40 minutes and then another 40 to get home for nothing. NOT A HAPPY GOLFER.
While i may use my rain check WITH "walking only" written on it. I think it will be the last time. (This was my mistake, I don't usually buy items without a cart. I didn't not see the disclaimer.). If you live close by and it it is sunny, the two courses are good. A tad over-priced, maybe. But don't trust the service at the executive course.
I'll Return
Pace was poor due to a young foursome in front of our twosome. They seemed confused, and maybe unappreciative of etiquette. Surely it doesn't happen often. Course was wondeful! Didn't lose a ball. Greens were full of small bumps that were a little irritating but did not prevent the ball from rolling generally true. Look forward to another round.
Golf
Always have a great time at st marks! Shorter course but very challenging greens and tough hole placements! Don't for get to bring 10$ cash Friday-Sunday for the hole 11 challenge!
My GOTO Weekend Course
This is a good course to practice your short game. Well maintained and very friendly staff.
Short game work!
Great course to work on your short irons but several par 4s allow you to stretch it out. Brought three friends for first time & they loved the course. There were areas so over watered, though, that you could lose a ball in the muck! Very friendly staff got us on the course immediately.
Play there often.
AWESOME Course!
I've played here probably 30+ times over the past 5 years. Watched them gut the place for the new facility, and it was a great place before, even better now. Golf simulator by the bar, decent food, good beer selection, nice amenities. Plus, one the most well-maintained courses I've ever played in the drought-stricken state of California. I can imagine this place would be RAD for a small tournament. GO PLAY HERE!
Fun course with some challenging holes.
The "19th hole" ,Tap In Tavern, is great!
Lovely
Plush greens and nice full fairways. Beautiful fairways and helpful staff. A good short game test with several longer holes allowing driver.
