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.

Good but not great

Nice course, good layout but one huge issue. Greens are narrow, very hard, and short sided bunker shots are everywhere. Only issue is there is almost no sand in the traps to accommodate this kind of shot. Do yourself a favor and just pick it out of the bunkers and play from the grass behind them.

Disappointed

To start the day our tee time was delayed due to the group in front of us was late by 15 minutes. The starter allowed them to jump in front of us for some reason.

Then the pace of play was horrible by the Marshall not doing his due diligence by watching the golfers. Our round was almost 6 hours because several groups where playing from the blue tees and could not hit it past the red tees. A decent Marshall could have corrected this issue.

Last but not least the greens keeper cut the new hole however when he filled the previous days location he just placed it in and made no effort to blend it in. A few holes were sunk in 1” to almost 2” below the level of the green.

This course was in better shape the last time I played it with no issues however it’s that time of year where money is more important then quality. So even though my review will fall on def ears I will spend my personal time to make sure the course is not played by anyone I know.

Horrendous experience will not be back

Had a 6 ball playing in front Marshall didn’t split up, waiting for every single shot. Took us over 3 hours for 9 holes, Head pro promised a full refund, got to pro shop they offered us $10. Disgraceful customer service, pro shop worker confrontational and useless. Will not be back.

Decent track

Course layout traditional, typical of an old course. Easy to play, not much trouble, back and forth can spray and recover. Waited at most every hole throughout round, a bit frustrating esp when you’re backed up at par 4, second hole and two foursomes waiting to tee off at 18! Never have seen that. Skipped 18. Overall a good round, conditions relatively good for this time of year, but need to find a way to speed up play.
