4 hours and 45 minute round

The course was nice. It had a good practice facility also. We played on a wednesday at 12.20. We waited on every single shot except putting on every hole. On some par 3s there were 3 groups. Could not get into rhythm playing this slow. It was a nice course if it were not for the pace of play.

Nice course

Nice course layout with some good elevation changes, greens were fast but mostly smooth. The only con is the houses lining the course so just make sure you dont hit an errant shots.

Overall a nice course. Plenty of challenging holes. Sand bunkers need more sand. Pace of play was good since we started early. 7:20.

Good Executive Course

Played 18 holes in 2.5 hours walking. 16 out of 18 greens in great condition. A great value for the money.

Good value. Traps are hard pan

Good time. Greens were on the slow side but fine. Traps were in very poor condition due to compaction or lack of sand. If you can hit off cart paths (pick it clean) you will have the shot needed to get out of St Marks traps. Otherwise you will be disappointed at the lack of maintenance.

Fun course.

Fun little golf course, great for beginners such as my wife. Groups need to be spaced out a few more minutes off of the first tee box. I’ve noticed it gets backed up immediately on 2nd then through out. I think a great solution would be to have the group finished up on first tee and on tee box of #2. Before group behind is allowed to tee off. Perhaps a 2 minute delay. Just saying
