I had a buddy (great golfer) look up a few courses for me in Chandler which right next to Phoenix and Ocotillo was his recommendation. I'm glad he found it for me. Let me start by saying this was not an easy course for a high handicapper (17) like me, but it was extremely fun to play. I don't think I've ever played 18 holes with so much water in play on the majority of the course. The greens were kept up (not fast at all), the fairways were nice, and the tee boxes were in good shape as well. I lost a lot of balls but not because of the difficulty of the course, it was simply bad play. I believe they have three 9 hole courses that they use and I started on what they call Oasis. It was a great front 9. Ironically, the back 9 felt a lot easier with less water, but there was still plenty of it to go round. If you're looking for a fairly difficult, yet fun course to play, you'll love this spot. The clubhouse crew was very customer service friendly as well from the moment you walked up and I only paid $97 for 18 with a cart with one day notice.

My husband and I booked a tee time at San Marcos Golf Course on Father's Day weekend. We chose an…read more11:00 AM tee time, which was significantly cheaper than the early morning tee times because it's usually in the 100+ degrees by then. We're used to it and we bring lots of cooling towels. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The driving range was limited to irons only during our visit, not sure why. The course was in great shape for the most part and the pace of play was ideal. There was no one in front of us or behind us pretty much the entire time. Food from the restaurant was decent. They provided a small "cooler" which is more like a small lunch bag for the drinks. The golf carts don't have coolers, which isn't a deal breaker, but a bit inconvenient especially since the lunch bag they gave us leaked and there wasn't a good spot for it in the cart. Regardless, we had a nice experience. We played all 18 holes and are excited to play again in the future!

Unlike many of the reviews I've seen, my experience was quite the opposite, in the best way. The course was in excellent condition, with some of the best greens I've ever played on in Arizona. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the pace of play was just right. We were never rushed from behind or held up by the group in front. The beer was cold, the food was hot, and honestly, I have no complaints. It was an amazing time from start to finish.

Either courses are fun tracks that challenge you in different ways. The Cattail is a super fun track that has a lot of potential for scoring good. Greens roll really true with good pace and everywhere around them has crisp perfectly manicured grass defining the fringe to apron back to fairways. I wish the bunkers (sand) was more fluff and softer but still very easy to manage out of them. The course conditions were absolutely nice and pretty much as perfect as you would expect for a course of this nature. Cart guys, pro shop staff, starter were all great and super helpful and very informative on anything g you needed or asked. Services throughout were great and the weather was perfect. The pace of play was very nice, never saw the group in front of us or behind us and finished a group 4 in 3 hours 58 minutes from the Golds(one) shy of the tips (black). I definitely want to come back here again rather soon. Great overall experience. It appears the LPGA will be here exactly the following week from today play as they were setting up all over the course. Even with cart path only on all holes, walking out to the ball was not difficult on any of the holes.

As a newbie golfer, I recently completed a series of five lessons with Gary at Hornacek's Golf,…read morethanks to a friend's recommendation. We meet weekly in one of their simulator bays, and I can't believe how much Gary has improved my swing and grip in just one class. I've learned so much, and I highly recommend taking lessons with him.

Hornacek's has a huge selection of golf gear, from clothes to clubs and bags. They even have an amazing clearance section in the back, which I love checking out after my lessons. I scored a pair of last season's G/FORE shoes for a fraction of the original price. The staff there are always super friendly and ready to help. It's definitely a go-to store for anything golf-related!

Not much has…read morechanged except my golf game and new clubs which I purchase from the Pro Shop after attending a series of Demo Days put on by manufacturers. And I have had the opportunity to golf at other locations since swinging my first club just months before my prior review. Springfield Golf Resort remains at 5 stars (Great) despite one negativity, inconsistant greens which is an important thing for golfers and the short game. I have seen my ball hop, skip, and jump to the hole at times, not break when it should and visa-versa. I have had missed shots due to crowns even around the hole and even role slightly back as slowly inching to the hole. But other than the greens sometimes a challenge, the greens are playable and Par's a plenty when you get used to their condition. But dont expect the PGA to come here for a tournament though. Beyond the greens, I love this executive course with so much potenial to be one of the best executive courses in the state especially for all levels with well defined fairways that offer a lot of variety and challenges in a good way to improve your golf and increase your enjoyment and golf experience. And most importantly, lots of opportunities for tree shade throughout the course for the warmer season known as hell. This course has the typical hazards of any course however the water and tree hazzards are only an issue to you if youleave the fairway in most cases. Bunkers are a different story in that they tend to congregate to the sides of the greens and a few in front here. The sand in the bunkers can at times be like hitting off soft dirt and can have poor drainage after a rain (yes that sometimes happens in Chandler) or after significant irrigating of the green/fairway; it is a non-issue if you avoid the hazard, lol. End up in the hazard and you pay the price. The people here are friendly and the staff have no equals from professionalism to friendliness in my opinion. And they do what they can to accommodate all sorts of situations to allow you to play and make it enjoyable. They have recently this year invested in new golf carts with GPS to help you range the ball to green which is noice. But it does also keep you from driving where they don't want to to go to get to your ball, again, if you leave the fairway so don't unless you like to walk. One complaint is that the mini-ice chest is super small and cant accomodate much once ice is added. The speed of play can at times seem at times slower during the week than on weekends. There are leages with mostly elderly people that play regularly during the week and this is in a 55 and older community so I found myself waiting to tee-off more during the week then weekend. Last weekday round had be 25 minutes behind normal pace of play. Rarely happens to that degree on weekends. But the staff and the new GPS carts try to mitigate slow play. They have an excellent, well marked driving range with 3 range ball bucket sizes to accommodate a short pre-round warm-up to a longer practice session at a reasonable rate. The green fees are creeping up there in price like everyplace else but remains one of the lower costs courses in Phoenix which is enhanced further by the offering of a seasonal punch cards that don't expire to help save you money and can be shared amongst others in your party. Don't forget to stop by the 19th hole after your round of golf to say hello to the very friendly staff and relax while enjoying food/refreshments and som sports on one of the many TV's. All and all, going to other courses, I have been spoiled by this one and Springfield Golf Resort serves as the basis of comparison.

So that's the mindset, something beyond the driving range but not a great test of my endurance. And most of all make it affordable since I may not make the round due to my injury and/or the heat. Played here in May. A friendly greeting by the staff. There was ice in the coolers and cart service as we made our round. This and the on cart GPS made it a very manageable time in the heat. The greens were in decent shape with some burn spots developing. Fairways were in okay shape but there were a few bald areas even this early in the summer. Overall this is one of the better executive courses I've played in the area. But measuring as a golf course, sub par. So take that into account.

But as many of the reviews have stated, the pace of play on the golf course is terrible. We teed off at 1 o'clock and finished just before six. According to the Ranger, the course had some bachelor parties, which doesn't excuse the course for allowing them to slow pace a play for everyone else on the course and ruin the experience. I don't think financially it makes sense to cater to a bachelor party when you'll lose all the other golfers who will not come back to this course to play. The course was in fine condition, but that doesn't really matter when the pace of play is absurdly slow and the slow groups aren't required to move forward a hole. I won't ever be coming back to this course to play.
