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.

OK course

Course was in good condition. It was kind of boring. None of the holes was memorable. The greens are small so it is difficult to keep shots on the green, and I found myself putting from 10 feet and in off the green. Played in just over 4 hours on a Friday morning but it seemed slower. You can definitely walk the course if you choose to. As with any area course it was too expensive.

Slow, small greens

Nice course, rotten tee boxes, nice layout and fairways, bunker sand inconsistent, greens are very slow and bumpy, oldest course in Arizona. No driving range

Lots of grass

Course was in good condition and good to hit on real grass anywhere on course.Flat and wide open with some tree lined fairways. Tees need to be bigger. Greens in good shape

Price

When we checked in the price was $80.00 per player even though we were quoted $ 75.00 golf now.com. This was not a great start to our round but being only 5 bucks per person more I didn't say anything. Not sure if it was an error on golf now or the course itself. The course was nice but not sure why I am using golf now and may just call the courses directly from now on.

Very nice course for the price

It’s high season in Phoenix, so $85 for well maintained course is worth it. Course in great shape both fairways and greens. This is an old course, so mature trees to stay out of. Course knowledge or good GPS as Has small canal wondering thru some holes. Will be playing again.

Compared to

Could have spent 50-60 bucks more but why?

Keep it in the fairway and it plays the same as courses in the 140s+

Nice value

Great deal on Golf Now. Course was in good condition. Some of the par 3 tee boxes were a little choppy. Biggest challenge is the bunkers. They are big, round and slope away from the green. This results in shots that tend to roll to the middle of the bunker leaving you with a long carry over sand to a sometimes tight pin. Otherwise, we very much enjoyed our round at San Marcos. Greens good. Fairways nice. Trees and water offer a variety of challenges.

Overpriced

Long par 4s and couple of long par 3 s make it difficult for an above average player. Layout is pretty good but no exciting holes, greens and bunkers are poor for the price and no real range. This should be a $30 course not $65 plus
