Fun course and great price
I have been playing this course for several years. I was recently bought by a new company and they are putting the money and attention into bringing this course back up to great condition. They have replaced all of the old asphalt paths with brand new concrete. They are watering the course much more. They are fixing all of the drainage problems on the course. They have replaced all of the old carts with brand new ones. They are investing in the course and it is looking great.
Good condition, friendly staffs
Great golf course for walking, especially short game improvements.
Course is rough due to renovation
They are fixing the cart paths so it is a little inconvenient at this time. I believe the new owner's are in the process of total renovation as it is needed. The fairways need work, the greens need some work and the tee boxes need attention. I hope the new owners continue to improve as it's a fun executive course and great for working on your short game. The current price is good and I would recommend even though work is underway.
Great par 3 course.
Great little course. Replacing the cart paths. When finished, this course will be even better. Great design, with even better scenery.
This course has great features
WE enjoyed the course very much, the greens were OK, the tee boxes needs attention, the cart path were under construction to be paved. In a month will be in excellent condition
Very good codition course wise.
New carts and much friendler staff. Cart paths are being redone as we played. Temporary issues will all be over soon.
Fast, fun and tricky.
Short but great to practice making correct direction.
This is a good course to practice how to hit the ball what direction I want.
Good & Improving!
Plenty of park!ing but in full sun so vent your windows. Met with friendly staff. NEW red Club Car golf carts for only $12 on weekdays! In the process of installing wall to wall paved cart paths so expect construction/paving for the next couple of weeks. Won't interfere with play just where carts are directed.
Bent/Poa greens (8 out of 10) were in great shape with true, fast putting surface. Some areas around the greens were very wet, where a ball might plug. Keeping the greens alive due to a hot day in the mid-80's.
Tees boxes, small, abit undersized, hard and mostly weeds or dirt. Expect to use a wooden tee to hit off of. (5 out of 10).
Sand traps a little compacted but doable (7 of 10).
Par 4 fairways needed watering and have little pockets of turf. But one can see the potential of getting better with a little irrigation. (3 of 10). Houses are tucked in close off most holes on the front 9 so be very careful if you tend to spray your shots.
Should be overseeding soon and definitely will become the course it was designed to be.
Play was 3.5 hours, for 2, with little delays. Concession prices were normal with a limited snack menu. Outside tables for dining. Pro Shop, with basic inventory, was very clean, as were the restrooms.,
Overall, a nice experience. Great for your short game work and looking forward to the needed improvements!
Great executive course
Playing most of the executive courses in the area, I find that this course and Lomas Santa Fe were my favorites. For the money ($13 walking), this course was excellent. Highly recommend it, just be careful with the par 4s, often you can't see where the pin is if your going for green off the tee.
love this course for a beginner like me
this course is great because it is easy for people who want to learn abd it's a great par3.
Always a good deal
If you don't have time for a full 18, a Lake San Marcos is the perfect alternative. It requires nearly every club in your bag (with two driveable par 4s). It's a lot of fun and about half the time of a full 18 at a quarter of the price.
great day on the course
We play here frequently. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Greens are in good shape as are the fairways. The cart paths definitely need some work but it looks like they are working on that also.
great course. great price
tee boxes are well maintained, staff is very friendly,, and the course is beautiful
This is a great Course always has afternoon tee times
I highly recommend this course. The Manager and his staff are very friendly and accommodating. The course is well manicured and has enough challenges to make it worth your while. The couple of PAR 4 holes are just enough to allow you to unleash the big guns and the PAR 3 holes allow you to really work your short game.
LSM South is one of my favorite Executive courses.
GREAT FUN
GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY AND THE OWNERS ARE DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE COURSE, CARTS AND CLUBHOUSE
Great value!
This is your typical exec. course. Nothing special except the great price!
Nice variety of holes for an execytive course. Plenty of large trees to provide good shade on hotter days.
Lots of good golf packed into inexpensive three hours
Ok value, but needs some repairs
I had played this course a few years ago, but couldn't recall the conditions. I've played full courses lately and have seen the spectrum of care.
This course needs some work. The tee boxes are absolutely horrible. Because so many people use them before the grass is able to grow, they are mostly large divots. Also, they are very small ... so sometimes you just had to hit out of the grass.
The cart paths were buckled in spots ... due to tree roots that have grown over the years - clearly. I walked and found it easier to just avoid the path.
The greens are in "ok" shape, but clearly there are people playing that have no idea as to how to repair ball marks (or even that they are supposed to do so). I spent much time repairing the marks of others while waiting for the group in front of us.
The guy at the counter was "ok," certainly not as warm and friendly as the staff at St. Mark just around the corner. I was hoping the smaller club would be cozier.
It's a fair course, but definitely not one I intend to play soon - Reidy Creek is FAR better maintained and about the same price. It's shorter, but at least it has a rating for use in my handicap.
This course is a perfect place to play and practice skills.
This course has a lot of shade trees. There are quite a few sand traps. Due to time, I only golfed the front nine. One hole is 240+ yards. From the tee, you are unable to see the flag. It was a fun course to play and much cooler than courses more inland.
