Windy and rainey

Tough conditions windy and rainy. I have played it many times and like the course but it was winter conditions so there was a lot of ground under repair. I am hoping that things will be better soon. I am 75 so it is tough for me. when it is rainy.

Fun course

This course will work your short game. The greens are in very good condition. Expect to wait as the course is busy and suited to folks who are still learning.

Nice little course. Need a marshal to speed up play

Groups are joining together to form 5-somes, and 6-somes. Usually can play in 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Owner sucks

Starter and all staff great except owner who always changes pricing and argues with customers. He should not be able to collect fees

Let his employees do it

I know of several people who will never play there again because of him

A Rewarding 18 Holes in San Marcos

Really enjoyed this course. The front nine was being airated, so it's not in perfect condition and all the greens were sanded as they prepare them for another season. In spite of this, the course was in good condition, especially the back nine where the fairways had been completely reseeded and were greened up. The front nine were in the process and will be great in another month or so. The back nine showed how nice it will be when they are completed with the process. Lot's of challenging holes, some a little tight, so hit it straight. Elevation gains made the elevated tee's a joy. Some long par-4's required a solid Driver off the tee and then a 3-wood to reach the green. Look forward to playing there again. They also have a wonderful terrace for drinks plus local Craft Beers on tap and a great food selection after the round.
