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.

Hidden gem!

In the heart of Chandler! I haven’t played this course since I was in college in the 80’s. This course didn’t disappoint me the greens are in great shape and mature fairways to hit off. Locals play this daily and they were a joy to play with, I enjoyed the pace of play too.

This course should be in your top 10 to play this year!

Been 30 years

I hadn’t played this course in about 30 years. It has been improved immensely and was in great shape. The greens ere solid and fast ( even in the wet of winter morning). I’m ready to go back. Great value for the cost.

Beautiful

This was a fun course to play friendly clean and so well kept for being established in 1913. Watch out for the canal that runs thru it’s hidden and it got me nearly every time.
