St. Marlo Country Club

Loved playing here. Great courses, great condition, and friendly staff. Pace wasn’t super fast due to a slow 4some on front but overall moved fast enough. Wouldn’t hesitate and come out again (and want to!)

Love this course but pace was so slow the round seemed to take forever. Very challenging course to play but fun.

They have to announce the status of courses which are on the construction !!!

I'm very familiar with this course as it's been in my neck of the woods for the last 15~ years. It's gone down the hill over the last 5+ years. Cart paths have always been bad but they're making constructions right now to fix some of the back-breaking patches but that's the least of my concerns.

Tee box: most need repair or grass mowed. They're uneven in many places. @St. Marlo, pour some of your crap sand from the bunkers onto the tee box to level it out and pour some decent sand into your sand traps.

Bunkers: speaking of traps, bunkers are inconsistent from hole to hole. I didn't go into every bunker, but the few that I found myself into, they had to be played differently. Some are firm, some are soft, some with sand, some too much sand. Poor maintenance.

Greens: playing by yourself? no problem. You have 100 geese to play with on the greens, unattended divots to navigate around, poorly maintained greens. They're not the slowest but do not roll true. It has such a potential to be amazing (again) and for the money that they're charging, you would think they'll invest a bit. Greedy management/owner is my guess.

Fairways and rough - it is what it is. It's got enough grass, It's no where near perfect, but you wouldn't be here complaining over these anyhow. They're good enough.

Service staff - you'd have the least amount of interaction with these guys but when you do, you realize they hire retirees from the DMV. Bunch of stubborn folks who think they're doing guest a favor of playing their course. I asked one question "how are the greens there nowadays" and the answer I got was "we've not heard any complaints - they're good. with a little giggle, why does that matter?" is the reply.

Carts: newer carts, in great shape.

Overall value: worth $40. Nothing more. After the pandemic, you'll find golf rates have taken a hike, major inflation. It's OK in most places though because the quality/condition elevated as well. Price/worth is justfiable in many places, but not here. Don't waste your money at St. Marlo, look else where unless you can find a deal for under $40. Pack a few cans of beer in your bag, don't spend a dime more at the club and maybe $50 could be worth it.

I played an evening round here and was pleasantly surprised. Pace of play was great as my round only took around 3.5 hours. All of the staff was extremely nice and helpful in every encounter I had with them. Tough but fun course layout and the conditions were good. The only negative thing I have to say is about the cart paths. The path has lifted and sank in many areas causing a pretty rough ride. However, they are actively fixing this issue by replacing parts of the cart path that have been damaged. Overall I had a very enjoyable round and I plan to be back often.

This place is in outstanding shape. Greens are fast and the course has been maintained beautifully, fantastic place for a round of golf. Cart paths are being worked on for upgrades...

Beautiful course. Soft greens- divots everywhere but rolled well. Staff was very friendly

The course was in good condition. Several spots on the cart paths are broken and bordering on unsafe to drive on. Outside golf staff was great, inside golf staff less than enthusiastic.

DO NOT speed on the roads of the St Marlo subdivision as they have speed cameras and will ticket you, and if you refuse to pay, you will be banned from the property.

Number of cart path only holes slow play. About 10 cart path only including par 3’s. Several par 5’s cart path only. This was a dry day with no clear reason for cart path only. Bone jarring cart paths that need repair. Be sure to book chiropractor day following play.

The pace of play was too slow due to cart path only. There was no need for cart path only. 90 degree rule would have been fine and helped with the pace of play. Apparently, they have cart path only more often that not. The cart paths are in awful shape and probably isn’t doing the golf cart maintenance any favors.

St. Marlo is in excellent condition. Has a nice layout. The pace of play was great and the staff are friendly and do an excellent job. Highly recommend this course.

Friendly staff allowed my kid to ride along at a less busy time. Great time
