Rating 71.0

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.

Nice traditional course

Played 12/5, able to use cart on course now. Paired with father and son, delightful people. Recently mowed so lots of clumping. Disappointed to see a lot of the fairways drying out with dead grass. Could use watering. Bunkers need sand. Staff is excellent! Pace of play slightly slow but picked up back nine. Beverage cart was frequent. We like this course as it’s traditional and just enough challenge. Would like to see marshals picking up trash on their way through.

A Desert Course with a Traditional feel

An old traditional style golf course that is fairly flat in its layout. Huge Pine Trees line the fairways.If not for the desert heat you would think that the course you're playing was somewhere in the Midwest. I would definitely recommend this course.
