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.

Really fun track

Flat walkable layout except for two holes on the back 9 which are a bit of a hike but nothing terrible. The greens were in great shape as we’re the tee boxes. The fairways were mostly well kept but did have some burnt out areas. The rough was maintained but fairly high, which made for a bit of a challenge. I avoided the bunkers but they looked…ok, not great.

Wish they would put a net on holes 1 and 10 to keep them from being littered with errant driving range balls…play a colored ball on those holes

This golf course didn’t have amazing views, crazy water features, or forced Carries. To some that may be a flaw, to me it’s a feature. Well groomed track that provides a reasonable challenge to the average golfer

Friendly staff and the restaurant bar area looks like a lot of fun but I was by myself and had to getting going

St marks

Nice course. Tricky, but nice greens. Had a little trouble chipping, that kikuyu grass around the greens is a club grabber. Country Clubs call it that, l call it crab grass.

Great course, friendly staff

I love this course! Great to walk or ride. They moved pro shop downstairs which is more convenient but they removed drinking fountain. Bring water to course!
