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.

Very average course despite it's important history

We had not played here before and based our choice on the GolfNow reviews. It was disappointing.

It is a parkland course with a few water canals running through it. It was the least enjoyable of the 4 courses we played. We had been hoping that it would have desert scenery but it did not. Having said this the welcome by the staff at the bag drop and on returning the cart was among the best we experienced and the Pro Shop welcome was also very good. It is rather unlikely that we would choose to play here again.
