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.

Course is a good executive round

Decent conditions and pace of play exceeded 3 hours. 2 hours front 9; 1:15 back 9. A slow group stopped for lunch, thank goodness

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!

Great course and great staff

This is a local spot for me and a great place to work in that irons game. The staff has been on point every time and the course is generally in decent shape save for some muddy areas on some shadow covered areas. It’s been a great spot to take my son who’s just learning the game of golf. And the food at Amalfi is tasty
