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.

Love this place!

The staff is incredible..from Mike out front, to Steve and Andy in the pro shop. One of my favorite spots to visit. Course has a simple layout but can be challenging with 100+ year old pines lining the fairway, small greens, and a lot of bunkers. Great time overall and highly recommend!

Slow greens piece of plate was slow and of course was in OK condition, but they had heavily watered it to keep it from burning and it was very difficult to play and chip

Great day

Started pretty early. Rained the night before maybe the reason there were tons of bugs attacking us.

We asked Marshall for off spray. He was awesome looking for some.

While he was looking, Jordon at the turn shack had some and let us use it. She was awesome and kind. She also made some awesome Bloody Mary’s.

Thanks

San Marcos Golf Course

There were some holes that had temporary tee boxes, other than that, the overall condition of the course was very good. Fairways were in very good shape, and the greens were very nice. The play was perfect, but somewhat due to playing mid morning in 100+ degrees! Staff is very friendly. I would recommend this course.

First time playing

Overall my experience was positive. The greens we long and did not roll true. A few bare spots on the fairways. Great old classic layout. Would like to play again when in better condition.

Oldest Course In Arizona - Well Maintained And Up To Par!

Excellent course conditions abound. Fairways are soft and green with very little brown anywhere. Greens have been aerated and grown in nicely. Tee boxes are flat and easy to hit from. Plenty of shade from the tall oak and sycamore trees through the course. Golf partner GPK liked the course and said she would play it again!

Many times if I am in a rush they will let me play 9 holes. Can't beat San Marcos for conditions, price, pace-of-play and layout.

Love this course but they failed on 6/29/2025

Played here multiple times in Feb/March/April 2025, left good reviews and really enjoyed time here. Played yesterday 6/29/2025 and wish I hadn't. Staff was wonderful. Course has great history and is plenty challenging. However, course was in really rough shape. Greens had pock marks from aeration making putting problematic. Tee-boxes were dead and covered with sand. Greens were patchy and rough at best. Yes, it is 110 degrees in Arizona. I can forgive the course conditions during transition but not at $70 with no Beverage Cart and no one working the Beverage Shack at the turn. Not cool!! For $70, my Sunday group can play lots of other places cheaper that have better course conditions, beverages and reasonable fees relative to conditions of the course. This said, the staff, check in people are awesome and course layout itself is historic.

The Marshall extremely rude. We were on track for a 3-1/2 hour round and the Marshall told us we needed to pick up our pace of play because there was no one ahead of us. The group that was supposed to tee off before us didn't show up so we had some extra space.
