Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort
About
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.

Morning view down the Par-5 5th fairway. A strong drive, especially to the center-right fairway, sets you up to go for the green in two! Photo submitted by vmustang on 04/25/2021

Great Place to play - BUT
I like San Marcos but slow play and sand traps make me wonder if I will come back. I am from the Midwest and a golf round is usually 3 - 4 hours. At San Marcos, it was 4 1/2. In addition, the course set-up with sand traps on both sides of all greens is diabolical - contributing to the slow play ( put some sand in the traps to give the no-pros a chance without hitting the ball across the green into the other side trap).
Steady as she goes!!
This is about my 5th or 6th time playing San Marcos and it never disappoints. Quality course for under $100 is rare this time of year.
Staff is very friendly from check in to the 19th hole. Course / greens in great shape. Solid option to other public courses.
Good track, needs better trash patrol
We like playing this old time course! Noticed that some fairways are starting to acquire bald spots. Could use more sand in the bunkers. There seemed to be more trash than normal so would suggest the course marshals could do trash patrol while driving around? The staff is always very nice. Would like to see some refreshing of the bathrooms, repair the cart path as needed, removal of dead plants and trees. It’s a good course overall!! People do need to fix their divots on the fairways and greens.
Love the Old trees
Well looked after my first time playing your course , we were fortunate to have Jerry join us for 9 holes tough greens but much enjoyed
Great traditional course!
Have played this course a few times now and we really enjoy it! It’s in pretty good shape! It had rained the day before so the bunkers had water and there was scattered standing water in the rough and fairways, no big deal. The staff is always pleasant and pace of play was great.
Original course round
Didn't realize we had booked right behind a tournament, thus a bit slow for my liking. However we did manage to finish. Greens were great, fairways good. Any staff we interacted with were awesome. Some sandtraps could use some sand.
Overall a lovely day.
San Marcos, a Gem in the Heart of Chandler
My group and I have played this course 3 times, so far, in 2024. The fairways and greens are in really good conditions.
The sand traps, all 3 protecting every green, could use some sand as they are a little shallow. But hey, who wants to play from the sand anyway?
On my first trip here staff warned me to stay out of the sand traps. They were spot on.
San Marcos is a nice, clean course. Not too much trouble and is fun to play as an average golfer.
Pleasant Surprise
We were very pleased with all aspects of the course.. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Will definitely be back. Good value for the money.
