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.

Nice Course

You'll definitely enjoy this course. Off the 13th tee box, you'll see the home owned once by Al Capone. Historic to say the least. The course is laid out nicely, and captures the surroundings with style.

Classic Course

Staff was great, course was in good condition. The problem is that there are no sprinkler heads with yardage, no 100,150, or 200 yard markers. It would be simple to install. Prefer Western Skies where the carts have GPS

Poor weather, no refunds available

Played a few holes on November 9th, then it started to downpour for nearly 45 minutes. No refunds or rainchecks were offered because we prepaid ahead of time. We had to leave because the rain continued for another hour and the course was nothing more than a mud pit at that point t

Good old course

Course was in very good condition. Pace of play was nearly 5 hours and will likely be this way all season. Not that many courses in Phoenix under $60 so it was packed.

Weather Hit Us Hard

Well, the course was in very good shape except the rain and winds hit us hard. We stuck it out and finished the round, and the staff gave us options to re-play. Food and service was great!!
