Cheap golf!

My son and I got too hot deal passes on golf now and played this great executive course for $10.99 each! Nothing less expensive around! The course was in great condition! Never waited at all, played with another fellow, who was a super nice guy, enjoyed our selves immensely! And again for $10.99. Can’t beat it!

Great Round

Was my buddies B-Day, so it was my treat.
Started on time.
Pace of play was ok.
Took 2 1/2 hrs to play all 18.
Some sections still soggy from recent heavy rains.
Forgot my hat, but got great customer service from cart return gentlemen. (gave me a hat from lost & found)
Had one of my best rounds ever this time out!!!

Still needs to recover from the rain

this is a fun course - but does not do good with wet conditions

also, the pace of play here can sometimes be frustrating

it's overall a fun course, and a great place for someone who is learning to play!

will definitely play again

Bring your mud flaps

Course is underwater in some spots and overgrown mostly everywhere. Probably should disclose the courses conditions, maybe, you think?

Muddy Day

I’ve played this course quite a few times and was looking forward to playing it again. Unfortunately with all the rain the area has had lately, the course was very wet and muddy. The greens were in great shape.

Dangerous when it’s wet!

I have played Saint Marks executive a few times in the last couple months but after it had rained quite a bit lately, the golf course apparently does not drain very well. In particular the eighth hole down the hill where the green is is a real boggy mess. My footjoy shoes did not hold, and I fell flat on my back and butt and head and gave myself whiplash. I managed to complete the round, but have been pretty stiff since. I am 73 years old, and had it been much worse I might have owned the place! Ha! Anyway, I enjoy the layout normally, but when it’s wet it can be dangerous.

Wet and slow

Not course fault that it rained so much but this course seems to take more of a beating than others from it.

But the slow play was a drag, people partying at each hole, playing two balls. Really slowed things down.
