Par 31
Length 2095 yards
Slope 91
Rating 29.6
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.

Under Renovation but 9 holes fun and carts!
Decided to play golf last minute on Saturday morning. Found this 9 hole for 30 bucks a person with carts. Place under Reno but the course itself is in good shape. The three of us had a blast.

Great place to spend a few hours
Love the cores but it needs some work. The bunkers and hard as concrete and filling in with grass. And it will be nice when the construction is done.
