Great Value for the Money and Nice location
We thought we would give this a try and were quite happy with the course, personnel and amenities. Only negative was the course was a bit wet, with water flowing down some drainage areas. Otherwise, we had a wonderful round of golf and no delays in front of us during the entire round.
I had a $5 hot dog which was excellent and included fries. Very nice place to eat!
Pace of play terrible
We teed off fine, but by the third hole caught up to a high school golf team fivesome. They were very slow and we hoped they would let us play through, they did not. We skipped the 5th hole to get by them and all was well until we made the turn. Driving up to the 10th tee there were two foursomes, one on the tee and one waiting. The group we were following was on the green. The course put two foursomes in front of us on the th tee. In disgust we drove ahead and finally found a hole open, the 16th. We played 16, 17 and 18 and went home having played only 11 holes. I understand the need to generate revenue, but not to the detriment of others, and, of course, we will never go back. There is absolutely no pace of play management on this course, and obviously the starter lets people jump in front of other players .... friends? Tips? Regular privilege? Bye, bye
very slow
While I love this course the pace of play is very slow. Etiquette a far as letting people thru is non-existent. There should be a course ranger to hurry people along. There are lots of old people on the course, although I am 80 years old myself, but I can go round walking in just over 2 hours. The attitude is "couldn't care less" about other players. There should be a course marshall to hurry people along or at least a notice reminding people of their
speed of play.
Yesterday it took 3 1/2 hours in perfect conditions.
This is a pace for a full 18 hole course, not for an Executive layout.
3 1/2 hours for a round ??? Disgusting and players don't even care. Should take no more than 2 hours.
I am 80 years old and can play this course, walking, in 2 hours. Marshals needed who will do their job and
remind players to move !!
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.
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.
