About
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.

Morning view down the Par-5 5th fairway. A strong drive, especially to the center-right fairway, sets you up to go for the green in two! Photo submitted by vmustang on 04/25/2021

Great course
Nothing bad to say here. Excellent course! in great condition. Definitely recommend. Enjoy
Beautiful day on a great course
Everything was great except the sand traps. They are unplayable. Hard packed gravel and NO sand.
Good course for the money.
Fairways were in great condition. All other aspects of the course was good to very good.
Nice Course. Fun Layout
Had a really enjoyable round here at San Marcos. you could tell it was an old school course with a neat layout. The course was in pretty good condition overall.
Pace of pay was slighly over 4.5 hours, pretty average for todays golf courses. But not necessarily fast.
Would definitely play again
Nice open course
Pace was good that day and ladies we played with were enjoyable. For seniors maybe a little bit long on some par fours but that’s what we were there for. Good day of golf
It's alright
Course is a links layout, but some tee boxes are right next to the previous green so felt a little worried about errant shots. The course is flat and wide, greens had a little character which was nice. The pace was unbearable on a Saturday. We waited 20 minutes past our 1:12 tee time, and the front 9 took 2.5 hours. Had to quit after 14 to make it to an event. That made the green fee lose it's value for us.
Pretty darn good right now, but where's the sand?
With the prices starting to come down and winter visitors departing, San Marcos becomes a great place to play particularly after work. We are able to get 18 holes in before dark and typically make it home for dinner on time. The pace of play this visit was great and we finished in just over 3 hours. The course was in solid shape, particularly the fairways and the greens. For a course that uses bunkers to protect greens and challenge golfers, they need to have more and better sand in them. That's probably the only shortcoming this past visit though...all in all, a good day!
Staff was amazing
The staff took care of me and got me paired up with another group. I arrived early and they accommodated me early arrival by letting me join up with a group. They went above and beyond to make it a fun day. I will definitely be returning sooner than later.
Course in pretty good shape.
Played their many times. It seems no one is paying much attention to some of the tee boxes. Many are in rough shape.
