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.

Fun at San Marcos

Our group had to wait about 20 minutes past tee time due to the cart-path rule. The play was a little slow because there were a couple of walker groups ahead of us. I still don’t understand why busy courses allow them to walk and hold up play. Nonetheless we had a great time!

Was told our tee time was cancelled, still charged

I called to cancel my tee time a day in advance and a gentleman who answered the phone said we were all good. They then charged me for 4 tee times and said it was a no show, even though I took their word for it that it was cancelled. Very disappointing

Good course layout poor playing conditions

This course is a good layout with small greens that are well bunkered. That said the course is always in terrible playing conditions. Greens are like putting in a hayfield, sand traps have little to no sand. Waste of money unless they get this course in better condition. Will not go back, very disappointed.

Still a good time

Course was in full swing for overseed prep. Still in decent condition. Some greens had a few rough spots but still playable. Overall, still a good time being out.

Good Overall but some Greens need attention

It is a nice course. The layout is straight but greens are not easy as they are small and have bunkers all around.

Good Value

Booked a foursome for Sunday morning with a hot deal. Found the course to be playable for the most part. Some of rough/fairways were a little long and had to spend some extra time finding the occasional ball.

Greens were very slow and had signs of being arreated in the past couple weeks.(Not sure if that was posted) It took a few holes to get adjusted to the speed and avoid some of the rough areas on greens.

Was a good round for the money for early September.

Overpriced for summer conditions

Almost $60 for summer rates and conditions were not that great. Saw the beverage girl on the front nine but never on the back nine
