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 shape

The fairways and greens are in great shape.

Tree trimming has made the course very playable because you're rarely in "bad" trouble any more.

Pace of play was good, the company was great; you can't ask for anything more than that.

My go to course

When all the other courses start getting ridiculous with their green fees ( many not worth it)

San Marcos provides a nice course at good rate.

The course was in good shape, especially for as much traffic as it gets and a brutal summer. The pace of play was 4 hours on the dot.

Decent course

The course was in good condition and was somewhat challenging. Lots of sand traps. My only issue is the course should be slightly cheaper.

Summer go-to!

Tee box to green conditions were solid considering it’s the middle of summer. Bunkers a little on the dry and hard side but not that bad. Friendly staff from the front desk, starter, restaurant and beverage cart. Will definitely go back again soon.

Million dollar renovation!

Tee boxes all chewed up, couldn't even stick a tee in. 4 to 5 inch rough on the side mixed with the grass from last time they mowed which was anytime recently? The bunkers were like farm dirt filled with rock chips. Now I know every course can't be a Troon course but come on fellas. I will gladly pay 25 bucks more per round and play Eagle Mountain this time of year. They know how to take care of a golf course!

Summer golf in Az

Typical summer golf in Az…made tee time on golf now app, so was surprised with aerated greens and fairways.

Pace of play was very slow…made it around in about 4:40….with a cart even, so by 17, I was more than ready to get off the course.

I’ll go back for sure, just won’t rush.
