Desert Mirage Golf Course
About
Desert Mirage Golf Course offers a public, nine-hole course and a fully stocked pro shop. The course has a traditional design but that does not mean it is boring. It is perfect for squeezing in a quick game or for beginners and kids. The course is relatively flat, but there are some hills on the course that can affect shots. The greens are medium sized with some slight undulation and the generous fairways are wide open. There are also water hazards and bunkers that come into play on a few of the holes. Desert Mirage Golf Course's signature hole is the par-4 ninth. It requires a tee shot over a lake to an island green.

Best Bang for the Buck!
Desert Mirage is a jewel in the desert …well kept and a true value….
The club house is well stocked with essentials if you’re short on tees or balls with a good selection of reasonably priced name brands.
The double cooler stocked with beverages ready to load your cooler and cocktails are definitely available next door in the snack bar where tasty lunches and pizzas are offered and exceptional!
Warm up on the natural grass range then off on your round! 👍👍
The are Better Courses
Will not be returning to this course. We are intermidiate golfers so are very forgiving to most situations but we did not enjoy this course. Fairways and greens are rough. Lots of mud and goose crap. Very tight layout with lots of below average golfers. If you were very far off the fairway or green you were hitting into someone. Never heard so many people shouting "four" in my life. Pace was really slow, 4 guys ahead of us rarely hit a decent tee shot.
Good course for beginners
Love this course
It’s always a good time, nice and quiet during the week. The players and staff alike are all friendly and it’s always enjoyable golfing here. I’m trying to get out monthly. We get to chatting and next thing you know you’re losing balls in the pond!
Great 9-Hole
Desert mirage is a nice par 3 for the money. It has several par 4’s that let you break out the driver. Great course. Will definitely go back and would definitely recommend for a par 3.
Great facility to practice game improvement…
Enjoyable inexpensive but well kept 9 hole executive course with full service menu…great food and great staff…
Well worth the price!!
Great place for beginners
Love the atmosphere and opportunity to practice long and short game.
Great value for 9
Quick, easy to get on, good condition, inexpensive, 9 hole course that I play weekly
Some Improvement
This is a modest course that attracts mostly beginners. It is easy to play with few real hazards or OB. (The perimeter and the driving range.) Greens are bumpy, so putting gets a little randomized. And I can't remember the last time I was in a bunker. (I think there are only two greenside bunkers on the entire course.) The only real water is on #9, and now that a troublesome tree has blown down, the right side (away from the water) is pretty wide open.
A course this easy should be fast. But there is NEVER anyone out there moving play along. I've seen it a few times in the past (to no effect), but not lately.
There are two positives (besides the friendly price point). First, the staff is polite, courteous, and friendly. Without exception. Second, the problems they've had in the past with turf conditions have improved. Perhaps it's the overseeding with winter rye to a greater extent than before. But the fact is you can get a decent lie in the fairway just about everywhere.
But around some of the greens it can get pretty bare, causing shots just off the green to careen wildly into bare areas. And I still feel too much emphasis is given to growing grass in non-landing areas. The areas off the tees (on par-4 holes) and completely between tee and green (on Par-3 holes) should stay unseeded, moving that extra care and water to the fairways and areas directly around the greens.
Finally, something needs to be done about the tee boxes. They're a mess. I know, hackers gonna hack. But still...
Rough conditions - over priced
the course is in very rough condition. Contrasted by greens that were in good shape.
The course is basically a weed patch...but priced like it is a good course.
With the conditions and price...I will play somewhere sles!
Beautiful Conditions
We had one of the last tee time on the books.
We were able to only get 8 holes in before the Club house told us to stop for the night.
The course is in prime conditions, and greens are great.
