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.

A nice walk

Overall this is a nice course to walk and practice your short game. There are a few holes where longer clubs are called for, which makes it fun. The greens were in good condition although I would place signage around and request people repair their ball marks as well as instruct how. There was a few places where the ground was pretty mushy but overall good condition. A bit pricey for an executive but still worth it.

Nice views but horrible greens condition

The course condition was awful. I have played at courses that are 1/3 of the cost in much condition. Very disappointed.

Greens

We have played this course before but I’ve never seen the greens in such poor condition. Big sections of most of the greens cut out and replaced with pieces of grass. Greens may have a fungus, will try to play later in April next time out. Good course to play.
