Love Arrowood. Great design, value, and playing experience. Yesterday we waited on every shot for 4th hole through 18th and never saw a Marshall. Mentioned at the turn and still didn’t get any love. They need to keep pace (not just time taken per round) to keep avid golfers happy.

Fantastic course. Great staff. Terrific setting. Needs more persistent ‘player assistance’ (waited a bit too much for the $) and having no on course food or snack bar at turn (no turn) and Cart Girl only has ‘snacks’ was disappointing. Will be back, but compared to Monarch Beach at 40% lower green fees and better on course amenities, they’ll keep getting more of my business.

Wow…this was never a great course but it was passable. Clearly they haven’t been maintaining it for quite awhile. Really rough…

Didn’t remember how oddly designed this course was, and whatever fondness for layout I held in memory is gone now. And k ind of a locals only vibe. Don’t see coming back here in my plans.

Always enjoy the layout and playability of St. Mark and am usually really happy with the condition of the course and pace of play. Yesterday, though, both weren’t up to standards. Tee boxes on several holes had little or no grass on them, and were either muddy or sandy, and until we drove up to the players in front of us (wrong tees, lack of awareness of etiquette, and VERY slow play) to talk to them about their pace of play, it was a slog. We didn’t see a Marshall the entire round, and the one time we saw a beverage cart, the attendant was doing something on her phone, and drove away without looking up at us. I’ll be back because it’s close and it’s good value, but it was disappointing yesterday.

This is a really solid track. Nice layout, well maintained, and pace of play was terrific. On and off course amenities and staff are first rate. Will be back!

The Dunes @ La Quinta is a great track. Challenging but playable for all levels. Pace of play, on-course assistance, and all staff were terrific. I'd give it 4.5-4.75 stars, but that's not an option, and when I think of some of the other 5-star properties in this area, I can't quite put in that group. That said, for $100, it's unbeatable for value and quality!
