San Marcos Golf Resort

it is a nice course, not sure it justifies the cost... good wide fairways, we got in early ahead of the crowds, back nine we could see the line up at the tee's. if you do go, make it as early as possible. nice 19th hole!

Compared to other courses in the area, GolfNow rating is way off.

Seems like yardage is really wrong on score card Sand traps some have sand done nothing. Over all course good shape Slow pace but Marshall did do his job and sped up some group’s.

The starter runs a tight ship. So get there on time. The course is in great shape. Greens putt true. This is a short fun parkland style course. If you aren’t long of the tee or spray it left or right, you’ll likely find your ball and still have a shot. Holes run next to each other; don’t feel ashamed to yell “fore!” if a shot gets away from you, happens to the best of us

My partner and I had a good time. Staff was great including restaurant.

No dring range. Flat course but decent shape. I have played it 3 times.

However, be ready for very hard, very small greens with dirt (not sand traps on either side. Also be ready for holes #4 and #5. From the blue tees they are both 464 yards long. Hole #4 has significantly more tree hazards than hole # 5 and hole #4 is the #1 handicap hole on the course... yet in the courses wisdom #4 is a par 4 and #5 is a par 5.

This is an old course with a lot of heritage. First course to have grass greens in Arizona. The design is older and traditional but remains challenging with relatively small greens which are usually well protected with bunkers. Missing left or right is challenging and it is almost always best to miss short. The greens were in good shape the rest of the course is fair given the pricing. The staff are friendly and the Pro was welcoming and helpful. Driving range is basic.

San Marcos Golf Course cancelled my tee time 15 minutes before we started our round. They called me and said sorry we don’t have a tee time for you. I booked my tee time through golf now. San Marcos said you have to go through them to get your refund. Absolutely no help to me at all. San Marcos was not apologetic and didn’t care at all. They said it’s Golf Now’s problem. Gentleman was Very rude on the phone.

Sadly I live less than 4 miles away from this course and I will never play it again. This was the worst round of my life. Why? Pace of play and course condition!!! I don’t mind a 5 hour round if I’m playing on a well manicured course. This is the time of year we pay good money because of good weather and well manicured courses. The weather was the only thumbs up I have from my round. With the course being in as bad of condition it is they should be spacing tee times out 20 minutes not the 8 they are greedily using! I honestly will never book another tee time at this course unless I receive a personal email, letter or call guaranteeing they have improved the pace of play and course conditions. There are too many better courses for less money available.
