Fix the Tee Boxes please!!

Tee boxes 14 of 18 are pretty much dirt and crabgrass, but mostly dirt. The rest of the course is OK, green pretty good, fairways good, bunkers are concrete.

Nice for the price

I’m not going to rehash all of the negative stuff like the tee boxes and slow play. This is an executive course and that’s where novices like to play. Get over yourselves. I thought the layout was pretty good and I was able to use a variety of clubs. Greens were very receptive and faster than I’m used to in Arizona. Bunkers could use some work but fortunately I was only in one. Staff was very good. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area. If you’re going to walk, there are a lot of up and down slopes. Take that into consideration when you check in. Overall a fun course.

Tee boxes need to better maintained and you could use a course ranger to move play along.

Course is great except for the tee boxes and standing water. Nice if they had a ranger to help with the pace of play.

Enjoyable short course to play

Nestled in one of the canyons in San Marcos, CA, the Exec Lakeside course offers an enjoyable location for short course golf. We actually played on an 80+ degree day, but still felt comfortable under significant shade and with a slight breeze. Many of the holes have a beautiful view of the general geography of this area. I thought the tee pads needed some weeding - there were several tufts of bermuda grass that made setting up your on ball - on or off a tee - difficult. All in all, an enjoyable place to play!
