First time playing here. Course was okay all around. Staff was friendly. It was a little pricey but nothing ridiculous. I'd play here again but I'd check out some of the other close by courses first. No real complaints though.

Good executive course with reasonable greens fees. However we are not happy about their doubling the cart fee!

Great course

Very well kept and clean. Staff is very friendly and the food is an added plus! I recommend the bbq chicken sandwich and an IPA of your choice.

St Marks Review

This is a very well run course and a great place to play golf and relax. The golf course is scenic, relevant, and challenging. A delight to play and while challenging it gives the casual golfer chances to attack and score -- be careful though :). Independent of the course golf course management and amenities this is a great piece of land to play on.

The staff is spot on. Experienced, knowledgeable and efficient they do there job with a great attitude that the scratch golfer or beginner enjoy.

Great Value for the price

Greens were rolling really nice. Pace of play was a little slow. Got to start by 12:30 to finish with daylight savings time. Enjoyed the round for the price
