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.

Tough greens with bunkers surrounding them. Good challenge

Wide fairways. Can get away with drives that leak left or right for the most part. No range worth hitting prior unfortunately

Always a great round

So this is one of the oldest courses in AZ! The cottonwood that should have made it 50 years did not make it! Greens challenging! Grass very good since we have not had rain for...ever. Very fun and enjoy the two par 5 s to end a great round...then go have a cocktail at the HIDDEN HOUSE....

Great course

Great staff, facilities are amazing. Putting green and chipping green are in great condition. Great food at clubhouse and at the turn. Only knock but doesn’t deserve losing stars is the driving range. It’s not long due to limited space. Fun track, challenging holes and greens are in amazing shape. -Ryan Jones

San Marcos is a gem

I've played this course many times over the years and it doesn't get the credit it deserves, especially being the oldest grass golf course in AZ. Tree lined fairways with well bunkered, small greens. This course is certainly an approach shot golf course. Challenging for all levels, but still playable for less-experienced golfers. The course was in overall excellent condition as well.
