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 for the money

Fun course and it’s in good shape however the rangers don’t police pace of play whatsoever and we got stuck behind an elderly foursome with zero golf etiquette and they were literally 2.5 holes behind the group in front of them log jamming everyone behind them. Ranger came once the entire round and literally did nothing to speed pace of play.

A nice tree lined course

Good course with lots of trees (at least for the valley of the sun) and very small greens. You will need a sharp approach and/or short game to score well here. I find the course interesting and enjoyable.

Course had just come out of oversees and Nov 1 was the first day carts were allowed off the cart paths. We played in 3hr 20min, which was OK. We were the third group off and waited on nearly every shot for the second group off, who were at least 20 min behind the first group off. Still under 5@4 hours on a public course in a weekend.

Greens, as I said, are small and have significant slip in many areas. They were not overly fast, perhaps a bit on the slower side coming out of being overseeded.

Tight course

This was a shorter course with lots of par 3’s. Holes were stacked on top of each other and hard to tell where your Green and fare-way were.

Love this place!

The staff is incredible..from Mike out front, to Steve and Andy in the pro shop. One of my favorite spots to visit. Course has a simple layout but can be challenging with 100+ year old pines lining the fairway, small greens, and a lot of bunkers. Great time overall and highly recommend!

Great day

Started pretty early. Rained the night before maybe the reason there were tons of bugs attacking us.

We asked Marshall for off spray. He was awesome looking for some.

While he was looking, Jordon at the turn shack had some and let us use it. She was awesome and kind. She also made some awesome Bloody Mary’s.

Thanks
