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 staff

Weather went from Marginal to Ice Station Zebra on the front. Rain and wind found us all thawing out in their bar area. Great service and rain checks for the back nine.

Slow play

My only complaint is that having to wait for the group in front of us before each shot. Course was in good shape and fun to play but there were too many people.

Fairways need more and thicker turf

Ever try hitting a golf ball off the kitchen floor? That is about what you will encounter at San Marcos. Grass is so short in the fairways!

Bruce R - 12-10-2023 San Marcos

Course layout is nice overall. Some areas need some work in regard to fairways and flooding.

The staff is very friendly and professional, the bar / lounge environment is nice and the cook is great! Better keep him on staff, our lunch meals were awesome.

So slow

Course was in great condition, staff is friendly. The course isn’t difficult it’s actually a perfect course to work on your game but the pace of play was so slow and I mean the slowest I have seen anywhere. The marshaling needs to improve and they need to space out the tee times but at least 5 more minutes. Slow play and felt so crowded.

Not Worth of Green Fee

Basic layout. Condition is pretty decent. To me, it’s not with the green fee they are asking. Id pay $40 max for a track like this.

Please fix your ball marks on the greens, one of yours and one for those who don’t.
