This course is amazing!

I golf there every 2 weeks. It is a perfect executive course. I am a novice player and don't hit the ball real far, so it is perfect for me. I enjoy the 4 par 4 holes as well. I think it is perfect for those who like to practice their short game as well.

Exec@Lakehouse

Expected some soggy turf after a week of rain, and we got alot of it. Pace of play was slow as we ended up being a twosome sandwiched between a foursome and a threesome. Round took 3 hours, not too bad.

Very slow pace for an Exec course

Took over 2 hours to play front 9, was waiting at 10 with 2 other groups ahead, at that point I gave up and didn't finish the back 9 it would have taken even longer!

Still fun

This course can suffer from slow play but it never fails to satisfy that itch to get outside and enjoy the game.

Old st marks executive

Frustrating with slow groups who don't seem to care about pace of play. It should not take 3 hours.

Soggy conditions

Played two days after a heavy rain. Course was soggy as expected ( cart path only). Pace of play on front 9 was slow. Back nine much quicker. Traps were wet, but grounds crew were draining them. Overall, we got what we expected...and we actually scored very well under those conditions.

Exec@Lakehouse

Rain predicted on & off all day. Senior twosome..our
tee time was 12:42. Got there at 12:15 and parking lot almost empty, I'm guessing because of rain. AccuWeather showed we had a two hour window of no rain. Tee'd off at 12:30. Jumped a foursome on third hole and never saw anyone for the entire round. Finished all 18 holes in 2 hours flat at 2:30!!! Not one drop of rain during our round.
Course was soggy and had to maneuver around some wet areas which we expected on a rainy day. Overall. course was in good shape, greens were receptive.
Good day of golf to start the New Year.

Fun course

Had a good time, walked the course, really enjoyed it. Some spots are quite muddy but that’s to be expected with the recent rain. Just hit it on the green and you won’t have to deal with it! Will come back to play.
