St. Marlo Country Club

This course is horrible! Staff is awful and rude and does not know what they are doing. Pace of play is slower than average people playing are the worst ever i was hit into twice by the group behind me even though we were not taking long

First thing when I pulled up to get my cart , the cart guy said take this one ( the one I got was full of trash and Coke bottles and soda all over it which we both stared at and he went on his way so I cleaned the cart before the round)

Second we had a 2:30 tee time and which we were there at 1:45 to warm up , the starter knew we were there And ready 15 mins beforehand and he let 2 members who didn't be have a tee time because the course was fully booked, sneak in front of us ( so there was a 2:20 group our group at 2:30 and a 2:40 group) and when I asked the starter if we can please not let that happen he then said " you boy and hurry and go ahead to the tee box and get off quick"

Saying this to a group of men who acatully paid for a tee time and wait there turn to play 18 behind the 2 slowest members and then sanwhiched between them and the 2:40 group on top of US every shot. So rude and annoying

Now the course was full of geese dung, divets ALLLLLL over the green .

The cart path felt like I was on the Earthquake rollercoaster at universal R.I.P

Then the same starter that screwed us over had the nerve to tell Us while we were on the tee box about to hit that we weren't parked over far enough for him to make a cuasual driver Thru ......disgusting

Overall don't go to this

Saint Marlo would be ashamed

Nice layout of fairways with many scenic holes. Sand bunkers are under much needed repair. Don't know what is taking so long. Hope they follow the repairs to include the awful cart paths.

I have friends that i play golf with that just rave about this course. My initial impression is that I can take it or leave it. it's nothing special. The staff members I encountered were great, in particular, Matt, who works at the bag drop. The course routing was good and they have a nice option on the scorecard to play from a mix of the blue and white tees, to make the yardage appropriate for your skill level. It also adds some challenge, so that you just can't bomb a driver off the tee - you'll need to think your way around a little bit. The biggest concern for me was just course condition.

Several tee boxes had large dead areas, lots of ball marks on the greens that were not repaired, and if you aren't busy trying to clean up all the ball marks on your line, your sweeping goose droppings. The bunkers even worse- I've seen bunkers on abandoned golf courses that are in better shape than this. These bunkers are an afterthought for the maintenance team. I know since rakes are not out due to the pandemic, most players are not hitting out of the bunkers, but the maintenance team could at least drag the bunkers every morning. and yes, the cart paths are not in the best shape, they should be addressed as well. Did I mention that the practice tee is still hitting off of mats in the middle of July? 3 perfect grass tiers of practice area just being wasted. This place could be top notch, its just needs some attention to detail.

Course was in great condition overall except the bunkers which is pretty normal right now. Greens where in good shape and not to beat up. Would be nice if people took the time to repair their ball marks. Will be back soon.

The course is beautiful. Each hole manicured and well taken care of. Staff was very friendly and polite. Just an all around great experience. I will be back.

The sand traps are awful. Other than that the course is great. But the traps are ridiculously bad.

Took the chance to be able to play at the last minute and decided on St. Marlo based on the availability of tee times and proximity to where we were staying.

Had to rent clubs. I'm a lefty, btw. Guy gave me the clubs and sent me on my way. They were super dirty and had to clean them myself. On top of that, the guy gave me a right handed putter. I figured this out before my round started and went back into the pro shop. Without hesitating, he said their only left handed putter was MIA. In other words, he knew he was giving me a right handed putter and didn't say anything. Basically shrugged his shoulders and sent me on my way.

I spent $144 in total to play and that's how I was treated.

Spoke to Ken at the pro shop the day before and the guy could not have been more accommodating on the phone. When I actually arrived, the guy working the counter could best be described as a younger guy who barely registered a pulse. and seemed like he hated his job.

Greens fees were not cheap. Overall, course was in decent shape with the exception of the bunkers. Almost all were extremely hard, had mud stains, and some had an algae/mold in the center.

The course marshall was really on top of his game and kept the pace up with a slow group. Saw him multiple times out there. Beverage cart woman was great and saw her all afternoon. Starter was a great guy who was really accommodating.

With that said, there are too many choices for golf and at that price, you just expect more.

It's a nice course with little rooms from improvement. Pace of play can be an issue. Don't know why the Starter don't give 10-15 minutes between groups. Good to see sand bunkers are being repaired. I hope the next thing addressed will be the cart paths.

Very nice scenic holes on some of the fairways. Greens were nice. Some of the Tee boxes need repair. sand bunkers were being fixed (yeah!!). I hope they soon address the cart paths.

Pace of play could be better if the starter paced out groups after 12-15 minutes. The course layout is fabulous.

Course in great shape but people need to repair their ball marks on the green just lazy people. Started on back 9 they must have had an event and pace of play was slow and crowded for a Monday. Really like the course and it’s shaping up nicely. bunkers are in bad shape but saw the guys starting to work them while we were there truckingi in sand. I will certainly be back

The staff at St. Marlo is a friendly and welcoming staff. Due to the number of golfers that day, by the time I checked in around 3:50 PM they were all out of Range Balls. This is the 2nd time this has happened here but no worries. Pace of Play was rather slow even though we were playing so late in the day. My Tee time was at 4:54 PM. The course in my opinion and especially the cart paths needs a lot of work and attention. The Greens were very soft (and I suspect) that the previous day showers had minimal effect on it. There were numerous unrepaired divots on every green.

The most troubling portion of my round were the Bunkers and Greens that were poorly managed and didn't seem to be maintained whatsoever. I've included a few pics of some of the bunkers and it just left a terrible taste in my mouth. Sad to see this course look the way it does, as I truly feel this could be a very pristine course. Needless to say, this is my last time playing this course, unless someone wants to pay for my Round. I hope St. Marlo is able to turn it around until then I wish them good luck!

I took my dad there for Father’s Day this weekend and the course was amazing. Easily the best course I’ve played at. Most golf courses make you play strategy where you have to avoid the big tree in the center fairway or there’s a narrow window off the tee box. This course had none of that finally. My only gripe would be that the cart path could use some touch up. It looks like the trees and bushes that line the path are uprooting the path and you have to drive carefully. Other then that I will definitely be returning.

Course is in great shape save some tee boxes but those weren't the worst I have played on..

The main issue is the cart path, it is ridiculous that they charge what they charge and their paths are so horrendous!

Course is extremely fun to play but you have to drive slowly to save your back!

course in excellent shape. Very difficult course, but fun. Still looking for a flat lie. Always enjoy playing this course.
