The Links at Lakehouse (formerly St. Mark Golf Club)

I played this course back in Feb of 2023. Here are my pluses and deltas: Pluses: -great price for a North County golf course -amazing restaurant -great range -easy course Deltas: -too many dead spots or over watered spots -rate of play is too slow -never once saw a Marshall Overall, I don’t agree w most of the recent reviews but this golf course is great for the money you’ll be spending.

Staff was super-friendly and the new facilities look great! The greens were in good shape, although the tee boxes needed a little TLC. The only "complaint" I have is the 12th hole. The green is so steep on the front half of the green that your ball won't even stay on the putting surface, which is a little like playing a putt-putt course at the Family Fun Center. All 4 people in our group putted and the ball kept rolling down to the front-edge of the green and it took us 3 putts each from 8 feet away; it was laughable and, quite frankly, comical and a joke of a hole. Time to redo that green guys!

Went for lunch today and though it's pricey, we split a delicious tuna melt sandwich and fries. They are keeping everything very clean and disinfecting tables and chairs. Was fun to watch the golfers. Update: 3/29/22... Split the tuna melt. Very good still. I think our favorite thing to do is actually go for breakfast in the morning and split the breakfast burrito with the sausage in it. It is so good! It's nice and quiet and so peaceful in the mornings and watching the golfers on the driving range and putting green. They finally resurfaced the parking lot! It was so bad and we could barely make out the handicap parking spot which is exactly what we needed before. Now we can not only see that spot but five others also. This is such a beautiful place but they badly needed to resurface the parking lot and hopefully they'll redo the cart paths because whether it's our own cart or theirs, the path is so bad and so many areas or even most of the areas that you either have to drive off of the path to get around all the holes in the path which then ruins the grass alongside the path. One thing they changed which we didn't think was good, was the seating area. They have rearranged the tables to have two people at each table looking out of the golf course and the other two looking at the building. Before, all four people at a table could look out at the golf course. They said it created more room and space for them but we don't see extra tables and it was a real turn off to our guests and so we switched seats with them so they could look out of the golf course and we looked at the building.
