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.

Generous Fairways

These fairways were some of the most generous i have seen. After having returned to the area after several years and experiencing this, I would recommed this course to the itermediate player. The day i played course restrooms were limited and upon leaving around 6:30 pm, the clubhouse was all locked up. The course attendemt apologized.

Great day golfing

The course and weather were great! There appeared to be a problem with bunching up ahead of us but the marshall handled it before we got there. Will definitely play again!

Enjoyable Round

The course was in good shape. The fairways are pretty wide and you can generally miss to one side or the other without too much penalty. There are old-growth trees separating most holes, but nothing dense. You're not likely to lose a ball unless you hit it into the neighborhood or one of the few ponds or narrow waterways on the course. The pace of play was a little slow but tolerable. The price was reasonable for this time of year, especially on a Hot Deal. We would play here again.

Decent

My second time playing here. Conditions are decent. We played in 4:40, but that could have been 4 hrs if they would have had a marshal pushing 1 slow group. We saw them on hole 9 and again on 18 where they were more than a hole behind the group in front of them.

I would play here again for about $60.

One problem.. the second green and third tee are too close together. Almost got hit by a ball while waiting to tee off. Be aware.

64 bunkers. Seems like I was in every one of them. Pro Shop warned me in advance. Greens were in great shape - very quick.

Course has gone downhill since Troon took over.

Greens are shaggy & slow.

Half way house was closed when we got through the first nine holes. Restaurant was closed when we got done at 6.

One of our carts had low front tires, just about didn’t get back to the club house after the first nine.

Over all Troon should be embarrassed for charging the prices they’re charging for these courses.

Good staff tough scoring

Course in good condition but the greens are harder than average and require a high spinning shot if you hope to hold the green. A good test of short game.
