San Marcos Golf Resort

Played a full 18 on a Sunday with a foursome. Had our round completed exactly at 4 hours. The whole time we played there was one marshall who stalked us the whole time. He would randomly appear, and would drive around on rocks and make noise in our back swing. All in all the marshall made it such an unenjoyable experience. We talked to a couple employees and apparently it’s a very common thing that the Marshall's are not the nicest here, and are like this with a lot of groups. The worst part about the whole thing, the group behind us was never waiting to tee off, so there was no reason to even stalk us.

The course was okay, when I checked in the main attendant was telling us that they water the course way too much. We had such a hard time hitting irons off the tee box, and even hitting out of the fairway. The grass was so soft, anytime we tried to chip we took massive chunks out of the fairway. The greens were so inconsistent, went back and forth between slow/fast. The pin placement was horrible, there was numerous times the green was 50 yards wide and the pin would be in the back right corner maybe a foot off of the fringe.

The layout of the course was very basic, they all had a common theme, the pa 3’s always had 2 bunkers one on each side, the par 4’s were usually a dog leg left/right, and the par 5’s were straight and far.

I think the one word that best describes the experience of playing this round of golf is, "despair". I've played this course a number of times in the summer months in years past, and this time around was by far the worst experience ever. Fairways and tee boxes were too thick with whatever grass they use, or was non-existent. The fairways were everything but "fair". The grass was a cross between what I think was Bermuda and crabgrass. The greens looked good, but putted slower than St. Andrews back when they used the sheep to "cut" the grass. If you're going to consider spending nearly $60 to play golf, there are dozens of courses that far exceed the conditions of this one. Realistically, this course should not command any more than a $25 green fee. Oh yes, and "driving range"...enough said. I only wish I had taken some pictures to upload, Those who spent the time reading this review would have been extremely amused...in a very non-amusing manner. Do yourselves a huge favor and steer very clear of this "course".

As the metroplex continues to engulf the Phoenix burbs this course is a jewel in an oasis. Not fancy just a good course that is run and maintained well. So much to do so close to historic downtown Chandler, it was a great course choice as I was staying nearby! Be careful of the hidden water canals they can bite your ball on 4 holes. Enjoyed the simplistic diner and bar on property for the 19th hole at reasonable prices with great A/C to cool off and unwind.

starter ignored me completely. I took care of my starting time and cart. I never felt important at all. The waitress in the bar wasn't much better.

Loved this course in the middle of downtown Chandler. A very forgiving course that was great fun for a Sunday round.

What I enjoy most about this course is the mature trees for much required shade in Arizona. The Tee Box and fairways could use some pampering. The Greens are plush and fast. The Staff is friendly and professional.

Bunkers are great. Grass is mostly dead. Overpriced for the conditions

Play "summer golf" with a group of 10-12 ladies all over the valley. This is one of our favorite places; lots of mature trees that provide good shade. The guys at the bag drop and check-in are always friendly and welcoming. Other than the aeration plugs on hole #1, the course was in decent shape, given the harsh summer conditions this year. Experience at Grill60 was pleasant with cold beer, good food and service.

I love this course..,people are great..,good history..,greens and course were also good as usual. I frequently recommend this course to friends and always will. Much love ❤ for San Marcos!!
