Priced right

The course was in better condition than I was expecting. Staff was very friendly. I thought it was priced right for the style of course. The greens were in good shape and fair.

Pace of play

The course itself is in good condition and is fun to play. The pace of play, was horrible! Took just under five hours to complete 18 holes at a par three course. There is no partial in the staff did not do anything to move groups along. Make sure your schedule is clear if you play in the afternoon. They should do a better job of moving groups along and keeping a better pace of play. Other than that, the course is fine.

Loved the Course

The course was really well cared for. Fairways are nice and wide for all levels of players. Greens were in great shape. Overall a flat course. Walkable. Great view on 14

No bad days

Great course weaving through a little community in San Marcos. Some challenging holes with some spectacular views.

Good course, good value for money

Got to play the course for a $37 hot deal. Great value for money. Some of the fairways weren’t in the best condition, and some bunkers felt like concrete but overall the course was well kept. I think if I’d paid $70+ for this course I’d have a different tune

Great Vibes Course

The Vibes at this course is what saves it. The Friendly staff, the music playing at the clubhouse, the restaurant and its awesome staff, is just amazing. Such a fun backyard, middle of a neighborhood, golf course. Not so sure its worth 100$ but is what it is. We had a blast playing.

Only issue is bunkers

One of my all time favorite courses. Played weekly until I moved out of state. The only issues with this course is the bunkers are hard packed dirt. I take free drops out of them. They made upgrades to the carts and pro shop since my last play. Always friendly staff. Paly Everytime I visit.

Course in great condition except no sand in any trap

The course is in great condition, but there was no sand in any sand trap. Dirt only. Extremely difficult to play out of.

Fairways and greens in the best shape we have ever seen on this course.

Longest round ever

Staff is friendly, course layout was fun but our round was 5 hours and 15 mins! No Marshall and 8 minutes between tee times caused major back up on every hole.
