Great Short Course:

My son and I love this course. You get to hit 3 or 4 long drives and some beautiful short 3’s! Course is kept in great condition and Eric and his staff are very welcoming. Try it and you will return.

Slow play

The last few times we’ve been out the slowness of play has been horrible. It took us 4 1/2 hours for the round yesterday, waited at almost every hole, sometimes for 10 minutes. The foursome we followed spent 5 minutes on every hole driving their carts around looking for their balls and some of the holes are barely 100 yards. You need someone out on the course enforcing the speed of play and the rules of playing the game with consideration.

Fun track

Nice layout, new carts, good value. 3 hour round on a Saturday, seemed to move at a decent pace. Greens were actually pretty quick and in good shape overall. Tee Boxes and bunkers are pretty horrible however. Awesome for beginners or anyone looking to sharpen up their approach game.

Will definitely be back!

repeat guest

love this little course but the management needs to explain to guests to play ready golf. the foursome in front of us thought they were the only ones out there. took us nearly 4 hours to complete. this is a 2.5 hour max course. played many times. they need to send someone out to Marshall the slowpokes.

A great place to play

This is a great place to play. They have newer golf carts in. And the pace of play is very good. The staff do a very nice job keeping up the course. The staff are very friendly and the entire course is clean. I enjoy playing here because the holes are laid out very well and I don’t feel like I’m constantly dodging golf balls like I am at some other executive courses.

New Year’s Eve Father and Son

I had fun playing golf on New Year’s Eve with my Stepfather Baron. We both had not played Lake San Marcos Executive Golf Course in a very long time. We both enjoyed returning and playing one of our favorite golf courses.
