About
The golf course at the San Marcos Golf Resort boasts an impressive list of past players that includes presidents and celebrities. The golf course is nestled on a property in downtown Chandler that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Although it has a desert landscape, the course is still lush with a canal that runs through it, a lake, and plush Bermuda grass greens, the former two creating water hazards that come into play on several holes. The San Marcos Golf Resort course is challenging with each hole having at least three bunkers. The two most difficult holes on the golf course are two lengthy par 4s, the fourth and the 10th.

Morning view down the Par-5 5th fairway. A strong drive, especially to the center-right fairway, sets you up to go for the green in two! Photo submitted by vmustang on 04/25/2021

A nice tree lined course
Good course with lots of trees (at least for the valley of the sun) and very small greens. You will need a sharp approach and/or short game to score well here. I find the course interesting and enjoyable.
Course had just come out of oversees and Nov 1 was the first day carts were allowed off the cart paths. We played in 3hr 20min, which was OK. We were the third group off and waited on nearly every shot for the second group off, who were at least 20 min behind the first group off. Still under 5@4 hours on a public course in a weekend.
Greens, as I said, are small and have significant slip in many areas. They were not overly fast, perhaps a bit on the slower side coming out of being overseeded.
Tight course
This was a shorter course with lots of par 3’s. Holes were stacked on top of each other and hard to tell where your Green and fare-way were.
Fun course! Especially with summer pass!
Course is always in good condition with grass and little sign of dirt!
Real sand in bunkers!
Staff is great!
Val at check in desk!
Paul and Kenny as starters!
Love this place!
The staff is incredible..from Mike out front, to Steve and Andy in the pro shop. One of my favorite spots to visit. Course has a simple layout but can be challenging with 100+ year old pines lining the fairway, small greens, and a lot of bunkers. Great time overall and highly recommend!
Slow greens piece of plate was slow and of course was in OK condition, but they had heavily watered it to keep it from burning and it was very difficult to play and chip
Great day
Started pretty early. Rained the night before maybe the reason there were tons of bugs attacking us.
We asked Marshall for off spray. He was awesome looking for some.
While he was looking, Jordon at the turn shack had some and let us use it. She was awesome and kind. She also made some awesome Bloody Mary’s.
Thanks
San Marcos Golf Course
There were some holes that had temporary tee boxes, other than that, the overall condition of the course was very good. Fairways were in very good shape, and the greens were very nice. The play was perfect, but somewhat due to playing mid morning in 100+ degrees! Staff is very friendly. I would recommend this course.
First time playing
Overall my experience was positive. The greens we long and did not roll true. A few bare spots on the fairways. Great old classic layout. Would like to play again when in better condition.
