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.

Nice course, Ok Condititions

Overall the course was nice, however, a few of the tee boxes (I think hole 2 and a few others) were all sand, no grass which was a bummer.

Old school track

I’ve played quite a bit of golf in AZ but avoided this course for years due to being told how awful and beat up it was. I was pleasantly surprised at the overall condition especially after being baked in 115+ degree heat for the last week. The greens played nice and the fairways were in really good shape. It’s definitely old school though. Fairways running parallel, everything really straight except a couple of doglegs. The sand was real sand you could hit out of…which was nice. The greens were very protected. Big sand traps all the way around…added a little bit of trickery. No elevation changes…extremely flat. Considering the location though in downtown Chandler it really was pretty delightful to play. No coolers on the carts…definitely bring your own water. All in all, not bad…but a little spendy for a pretty basic course. Could play Las Sendas for $4 more if you score a good “hot deal”.

If you’re in the rough, you’re on hard hard ground. Dinged a couple clubs, but overall the course was in fair shape.
