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

It was ok. Could use some maintenance.
First I will say the staff is great. Next, the course lay out is not too bad. Gets a little boring with 2 bunkers on the front left and right side of every hole (it seems). Greens were excellent. Fairways / Tee boxes were decent. I did not care for the condition off the fairways.. Trees overgrown. Landscaping has some rough conditions....so, keep it on the FW. Lastly, the sand traps were very hard. Cost me some shots because the club bounced off the sand rather than scooping.
The Grand ol Course
Awesome golf course. Rich in history and is one of the best courses in the valley. Great fairways, perfect greens. I will always love it when I have the opportunity to play here. I would recommend this course to any and all.
Tiny greens and lots of trees
This is a flat golf course with a lot of trees (for the desert). Greens are much smaller than modern courses. Course is easily walkable, being flat and with very short distances from one green to the next tee. I like playing here as it is so different than the more modern courses in the desert.
Greens were fairly slow the day i played. The rest of the course wes in fine shape.
Weekday minimal staff and amenities....
Played here several times and course is usually pretty nice condition. One the weekends they fill up the tee times (understandable) so pace of play is going to be much slower but cart girl and full staffed snack shack and clubhouse bar. During the week on a Monday 2 teenagers checking you in and then no one. Had a group in front of us who had no idea of golf courtesy and took no exaggeration 20 minutes on the 6th green. When we asked to play through they were appalled and acted liked we insulted their mothers. A marshal, even the teen at the front should have been on the course.
Great day
Greens were very consistent and rolled well.
Fairways were mostly green with good grass.
They are working hard to keep the course in good shape.
A couple branches need to be removed to open up the driving lane. The hang out into the fairway. Would highly recommend playing this course. We had no one in front of us and no one behind us. We played as fast as we wanted.
Great course
Beautiful fairways. Good greens.
Overall great experience!!!

Always a pleasure
As always, a wonderful round on a historic course. Course was in terrific shape. Greens rolled true and plenty of lush grass on the fairways.
