Great executive course
Great course to walk with your friends. challenging holes & you can use your driver at least on 3 holes. Great course to work on your short games & greens were fast & great.
Love the Renovations
This little big course is very fun, challenging and a good workout if your walking. We are intermediate players and use all the clubs in our bag, even the driver on 3 of the holes. They have made some marvelous improvements, cart paths, brand new cart paths, really nice ball washers and trash cans. The greens are kept up nicer than some fancier courses and you can't beat the price. Love this course
Golfing on 12/17
My son and I had a great time playing 18 holes. Perfect day for a game of golf. No one rushing you through the course, everyone was friendly and took their time playing.
A Nice Walk
St. Marks Executive is a comfortable low stress course. A nice walk with 2-3 hours of golf mixed in. I have played here twice and the course is receiving some attention from the grounds crew on several tees, fairways and greens. San Diego County has begun to receive some Autumn/Winter Rain, so it was a bit damp on the occasions that I played (Winter Rules in effect).
All said a good place to play/practice
Slow Play
I'm not sure if this a normal thing at this course, but slow play was certainly a big problem on the day that I played there.
After starting my tee time, I walked up to the tee, took my shot, putted in, and when I got to the 2nd hole (just out of view from the pro shop), I realized that there were 3 other groups before me who were all backed up at the second hole... yep, that makes 4 groups waiting to tee off. There was a group of three men who appeared to be teaching their children how to play. Nobody on staff said anything as this group proceeded to take 20-30 minutes per hole (on par 3's!) while tons of people just sat around waiting for them to move... at every. single. hole.
So... I was literally an hour into play when i got to the 4th hole. it was stupid. They didn't let us play through, they just told us to pass them by skipping a hole.the moment I passed them, the speed of play was immediately better, which got me to the end just as it got dark outside. so, overall, i got to play 17 holes in about 4.5 hours.
Of course, I realize that this particular group probably made slow play unusually bad that day, but staffers should keep an eye out for that stuff.
Good course to work on your short game !
I will play this course again !
I will play this course again !
Fun executive course
This was a fun executive course. It seemed busy, but the course was wide open for me and I was able to play it by myself.
It was a nice change of pace playing an executive course. It gave me the chance to put my irons to good use.
There were some hazards to contend with throughout the course. You start out at the first tee with a water hazard to the left. Easily avoidable, but there to psych you out if you let it.
All in all the course was well maintained and I would play it again to get in a quick 18.
xcellent for your short game.
nice par 4's . yeap you get to use every club in your bag on this executive. awesome value. dont pass it up. it fun.
Short holes but good for short game
Tee boxes need to be leveled out, redone and maintained. Good fairways, great greens, and pretty ambiance with mature trees and homes.
Golf 18 holes in 1hr 45 mins for 9 bucks
Great course, low price. Played 18 in 1:45 . 9 bucks on golf now hot deals.
I was disappointed.
Years ago, I remember the course being so pretty.
But now the front nine has a lot of bare spots (dirt), but back
9 was kept a lot better, and nice. It's a beautiful course.
Good walking course with elevated tees and greens.
This course is an excellent place for a golfer to practice his/her short game. Also, with 4 par 4's, a driver may be used, unlike many executive courses. The greens are fast and well-maintained.
Pace of play is a bonus with completion of play in less than 3 hours.
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.
