About
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

Golfer Reviews
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE!!!
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".
Jewel of Chandler AZ
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.
Fun Local Course
Loved this course in the middle of downtown Chandler. A very forgiving course that was great fun for a Sunday round.
Nice Resort Course which could use pampering.
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.
San marcos
Bunkers are great. Grass is mostly dead. Overpriced for the conditions
Summer Golf
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.
Loved it
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!!
Love San Marcos
This is one of my favorite local courses, challenging but fair. The reason for the score of 4 on condition was the greens have been recently airiated so very bumpy and tough to make putts.
