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.

San Marcos

Super slow pace of play. Almost 5 hours and waited on every tee, sometime 3 groups waiting. Greens were nice but the rest of the course was a little rough and def not worth the $100+ price tag.

Excellent value

This is a nice open course. Golfers should be aware of the channel that comes into play on a few of the holes. The lies in the fairways are tight requiring precise contact. The greens are fast and true. Overall, it’s a good test of golf.

Horrible staff and pace of play ruined it

My friend and I arrived at 1:40pm for a 2pm tee time. We checked in at the clubhouse where the desk worker came off as super unfriendly . I simply asked what their cheapest dozen was and he replied in a very annoyed way. We went to give cart assigners our receipt and one younger guy probably around 22-23 was making fun of my last name right in front of me… “That’s a he** of a last name haha” and I responded “That’s my name…” and he switches his energy and goes “oh that’s a cool last name then” yeah okay buddy, lol. We then went and warmed up on the green to start and headed over to the first tee around 1:57pm. The 3 groups ahead of us still hadn’t even teed off yet… we didn’t tee off until around 2:25pm. Group in front of us took forever to play. They had 3 different tee boxes in their group and they waited to tee off way too long every hole. They hit the ball maybe 250 max and were waiting until other group was 300+ out to hit every time. Overall the day was ruined by staff and pace of play. Course layout and conditions were actually very solid. But I value staff friendliness and pace of play a lot more. We only got to play 14 holes btw. 2:00pm tee time with a 5:50pm sunset. We couldn’t even finish in 3 hours and 50 minutes… so keep that in mind.

Fun course. Nice greens

Very flat, wide fairways, well maintained. Bunkers had decent sand. Greens rolled nicely. I enjoyed the round.

Course is just good right now

Played on 12/19, just two of us. Course seemed a little dried out considering the canals are full. Lots of divots in the fairways, golfers need to fill them when waiting on the people ahead and also need to rake in the bunkers after using them. Pace of play seemed slow but we were done in 4hrs. Marshal was around a couple of times and very polite-would like to see them also pick up garbage that lies around considering the multi million dollar homes around the course. There was a beverage cart. The staff is great! Recommend playing as it’s enough of a challenge even being mostly flat.

Nice place to play

All staff members were very friendly and helpful.

Greens: very consistent and in good shape. People need to repair their own ball marks.

Fairways: grass was a little thin. Too much water in some areas.

Bunkers: sand was not deep but they were consistent. Well raked out by other golfers.

Tee boxes: were level but worn.

I would recommend this course.
