About Lakehouse Hotel and Resort

The idyllic shoreline of Lake San Marcos is the draw for the Lakehouse Hotel and Resort outside San Diego. The property is home to a championship and executive golf course, multiple restaurants, a marina with electric and non-motor boat rentals, two saltwater pools and oversized hot tubs. The 1960s-era hotel holds onto its retro charms with hula hoop contests, board games, roasting S'mores and a lobby library. The semiprivate St. Mark Golf Club (6,400 yards) and par-58 executive course will please every level of player.

Awesome setting & layout! however...

irrigation/drainage in serious need of adjustment...significant mud/swampy areas to contend with on most holes...and no course intervention to encourage the slow pokes...plenty of shade and flora to enjoy while hurrying up and waiting tho!

Nice but slow.

Round took just short of 5 hours. No marshall on course to move some really slow playing groups along. I’ve played here many times and this round took a good half hour longer than normal. Ending on a positive note, the course is in good shape. The 19th Hole is the best in North County.

Walked

Nice layout, spotty condition

I play this course fairly regularly as it's a convenient distance from my house and central for my playing partners.

The greens are generally in very good shape, however, the bunkers have almost no sand and many fairways and tee boxes have been in need of repair for what seems like years. The same patches of fairway are ALWAYS is poor shape, and the course superintendent never seems to make repairs.

The same goes for the drainage. Even if there is a lack of rain, the same areas of the course are always muddy.

It's an enjoyable course to walk. The restaurant and pro shop are above average. Greens fees have gone up during COVID, but the extra money hasn't seemed to find its way into fairway and bunker maintenance.

Slow play on a Thursday?

Backed up on second hole 3 deep. Called the clubhouse to no avail. Didn’t seem to care about pace of play. I’m guessing they don’t want to upset anyone because they want to lose the business….ironic.
