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.

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.

Not bad

Greens in decent shape. Fairways better than I thought for the lack of rain this year. Tees below average. Slow pace but a great afternoon to play!!

Better course maintenance than last year.

San Marcos is a challenging course, but very playable given the improved course conditions, so, hats off to the course maintenance staff. A year ago, I would not have recommended playing this course to friends who prefer grass in all areas of the course - especially the fairways.

Great staff, friendly at all times.

Disappointed

I was disappointed with this course. The course was in just fair shape (lots of bare spots). The pace of play was slow- 4.5 hours for 18). I was challenged by the abundance of bunkers that guarded the greens. In 18 holes, I visited 8 traps. The greens looked spotty but they rolled well with a decent amount of breaks.

Much improved

As always, the staff are pleasant and welcoming. And, unless I am mistaken, there has been a change in the course maintenance staff. Compared to last year at this same time of year, the course is well watered and fairways are very playable. In short, the course was in fine condition and thoroughly enjoyable to play.

Well done, San Marcos!
