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.

Unusual round

I usually enjoy this course which was in very good shape. Unfortunately the pace was so bad that after 10.5 holes we called it a day. Some of the factors were beyond the control of the course and I appreciate them giving me a rain check

A day at san Marcos

The course is in some of the best conditions in years. Me and my out of state guests were teamed up with Jean and Jeannie nice older couple who apparently live on the course. We were having a nice time until Jeannie who thought she was a pro missed a 12 foot putt and precede to have a meltdown and blamed me for taking while she was putting witch was not true. She even suggested I play golf elsewhere. I been playing at this course for over 25 years as well as all over the country and have never had this kind of experience. If you got to San Marcos and get paired with her run.

San Marcos

Always enjoy playing San Marcos. The course was very crowded but the starter (Shirley) kept the groups moving. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Course was in very good shape.

Older but nice

The course is an older layout but rewards solid play! Penalizes you if you aren’t on the fairway! But that’s all golf isn’t it? Very flat course. Shallow sand in bunkers!

Good shape, fast play, fun course.

San Marcos is a great course that is in great shape and at a fair price. This is one of the oldest courses in the east valley and it has mature trees and has homes and apartments on the outer perimeter.

But there are a couple small negatives.

Golf carts were in short supply and clubs were not on a cart untill we were on-deck.

Practice range is small and practice balls are limited flight.

Parking in the small lot can be a challenge, but there is plenty of parking adjacent to the course - bit of a walk.

Beverage cart service sucks.

Beverage cart was no where to be found the whole time we were golfing, it was just sitting on the 9th hole the whole time. Try to sneak in the beer next time since service sucks!
