The staff at San Marcos consistently earns high praise, with a welcoming team that makes every visit memorable. Century-old pines, well-kept fairways, and a challenging layout with small greens and bunkers deliver strong value for the experience.

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.

Great Course

San Marcos is a very solid track for the price. Staff is friendly and course conditions are great. Fairways are pure and greens roll true. Bunkers get very dense but not too hard to get out of. Fairways are forgiving as well. This is great for midweek golf. Pace of play is horrendous on the weekends. Played Friday at 12:30 and it was about a 5 hour round. Overall great course.

Wear your helmet

It’s a fine muni style course, but the number of holes side by side causes you to be in the line of fire on almost every hole. So many near misses. Decent value for the money if you don’t end up in the ER. Great service from the young people working there.

Only so so

Course does not have a full practice range. They were short on carts. There was no ice or cooler on the cart. There are no ball washers on the course.

Tees and greens were in great shape.

San Marco

Outstanding course both in shape and condition. We had an excellent day and wish we booked another round. My only complaint would be the 100 yard marker were nowhere to be found.

Hot Deal - San Marcos

I and my friends book often on golf now… I found a hot deal and booked a teetime. It did not appear to be a pre-pay scenario. Unfortunately I had to cancel the teetime. I did this in a timely manner, 48 hours prior to the teetime. I only received a credit and not a refund... this seems improper seeing that I canceled it with so much time to spare. This is a negative mark for golf now.. this needs to be clearly specified, other than small, legal language, that even though canceling a hot deal teetime in a timely manner your credit card will still be charged.
