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.

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

Absolutely horrible experience. Waited 8 to 10 minutes at every Teebox because they were so backed up with slow play. Took nearly 3 hours to play nine holes went in to get rain check and they said they don’t give out rain checks for slow play would never recommend this course to anybody.

Okay municipal course
Course looks to get a lot of use and isn’t the most memorable. Few par 3’s are nice carrying water but overall just an average course and layout. Not sure I would rush to play again.
