Crowne Plaza Phoenix Chandler Golf Resort

Everything was great except the sand traps. They are unplayable. Hard packed gravel and NO sand.

Fairways were in great condition. All other aspects of the course was good to very good.

Had a really enjoyable round here at San Marcos. you could tell it was an old school course with a neat layout. The course was in pretty good condition overall.

Pace of pay was slighly over 4.5 hours, pretty average for todays golf courses. But not necessarily fast.

Would definitely play again

Pace was good that day and ladies we played with were enjoyable. For seniors maybe a little bit long on some par fours but that’s what we were there for. Good day of golf

Course is a links layout, but some tee boxes are right next to the previous green so felt a little worried about errant shots. The course is flat and wide, greens had a little character which was nice. The pace was unbearable on a Saturday. We waited 20 minutes past our 1:12 tee time, and the front 9 took 2.5 hours. Had to quit after 14 to make it to an event. That made the green fee lose it's value for us.

With the prices starting to come down and winter visitors departing, San Marcos becomes a great place to play particularly after work. We are able to get 18 holes in before dark and typically make it home for dinner on time. The pace of play this visit was great and we finished in just over 3 hours. The course was in solid shape, particularly the fairways and the greens. For a course that uses bunkers to protect greens and challenge golfers, they need to have more and better sand in them. That's probably the only shortcoming this past visit though...all in all, a good day!

The staff took care of me and got me paired up with another group. I arrived early and they accommodated me early arrival by letting me join up with a group. They went above and beyond to make it a fun day. I will definitely be returning sooner than later.

Played their many times. It seems no one is paying much attention to some of the tee boxes. Many are in rough shape.

First time playing here today. Tee boxes were decent, fairways were good and greens were nor bad at all. Where this place lacked today for me was the bunkers. I was in a few traps throughout my round and one bunker I was in had no sand in it and was complete hard pan. Another bunker I ended up in had sand in it and I got the ball out with no problem. Just put a little work into the bunkers and this is not a bad course at all.

Greens great but small. Sand traps a complete disaster. Fairways generous. Pace of play slow. Practice range bad. Golfers are constantly hitting into you, not safe. Awesomeness gets a zero. Would I play again ? Not a chance !!

Several bunkers had little to very little sand that made for inconsistent sand shots throughout the course. Also, for a Friday afternoon the pace of play was slow with no course marshal seen all day. For afternoon players on a busy day, plan on waiting for an electric cart from finishing players. Price paid on a Friday is high for the condition of bunkers, slow play with no marshal, San Marcos needs to do much better for my money.
