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.

Disappointing

Pace of play was extremely slow. Irons only driving range. Pretty flat. We quit after 9 holes as we would have ended up playing the dark. Not worth the money.

Good Day Playing

Have played San Marcos a number of times over a lot a years. Course was in good shape. Its a flat, straightforward track for the most part, but has some old trees that can really grab you. Pace was ok, marshal could have helped since guys in front of us were a bit behind. Enjoyable round and definitely will return

played with a nice lady

Course in really good shape. Fairways nice and green with the greens firm and fast. Teamed with a nice lady on first tee - fun to play with. Marshalls were extremely.\ courteous making the round enjoyable.

P.S. Not a smart move "jacking the price" for golf during WMS and Super Bowl to $150. To me, this is criminal and will come back to bite them in the butt later.

Played with Chris

Course in good shape. Nice fairways and fast greens. Easy to 3-4 putt due to fast and sloping greens. Marshall's were extremely nice and courteous always asking what they can do to enhance our enjoyment. Will definitely return

Great course for the money. Very friendly staff.

Sand traps on both sides of the green are the challenge to avoid!

Nice Track

Fun with a Great Prize

Parkland course, when playing you would not think you are in the middle of big city

Great routing - The little creek running thru the course adds to the challenge

Greens rolled great

Some Nice old trees on the course

Would not classify this as a championship golf course but a very very nice parkland type course with mature trees throughout. The course is very well-maintained and yet challenging enough to be enjoyable. The over seeding on the fairways is truly exceptional and comparable to many upscale courses I’ve played. The greens were good and even though the bunkers could use a bit more sand, were still very playable. This is a decent track that you can enjoy without having to pay an arm and a leg. A great value I would gladly play again.

Very Nice As always

Tey and play it a couple of times a year when we're here from up north. Course is always in very good shape. Staff and very friendly and helpful. Parking is the only real problem. Not enough spots. Need more handicap spots. As a leg amputee and having to walk a long way as all the parking spots in both lots were taken was a real pain.

Would play again .

San Marcos is a great course

For an 11 handicap, I reallly enjoy this course. It is a bit challenging, pace of play is excellent, staff is great and for the price we would rate it as one of the top courses in Phoenix metro
