Course Highlights
This well-maintained 9-hole course delivers outstanding value, with green fees that include a range ball bucket and friendly staff consistently praised by recent players. The layout challenges your short game while still offering driver holes, and rounds typically wrap up in under two hours.

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.

Friendly Staff. The course was in fine condition. It seemed crowded but everyone moved at a good pace. The Driving range and the Putting Green were in excellent condition and had plenty of room. You can bet that my wife and I will be back.

Fun track for a Sunday Hot Deal.

Short course 2B sure however the subtle undulations of the greens challenge players from just ABUSING scores here. Proshop had Tanya in charge 2day N I was lucky enough to meet Brian onthe course. Fairway condition is nice and even throughout but once off of them somewhat it gets Muni/uneven quick. Bunkering could use more/better sand in 'em so overall there is Good value for inexpensive quick golf & the complimentary range balls('bout 20/25) is a definite PLUS -I'll return 4sure!

Made this my "home course".

Been playing DMGC for a couple of years now and have never had a bad experience or day. Staff assure everything is good to go before I leave the check-in. Course is immaculate and greens are manicured with care. If I go back inside after my round, they always ask how my day was and asks about playing another 9. My 18-year-old son usually plays with me, and the only thing he has said about being better, he wishes it was an 18 hole course.

Terrible service

Two times I have came here and dealt with this employees attitude. As he gives you the cart key he lectures you like a child on how to properly drive on the fairway and where you cannot obviously drive on as if I’ve never played on a course before. Secondly I asked the first time I dealt with this guy if prebooking on golf now comes with a small bucket and he jumps to shout it’s a mini like I’m trying to steal from the course. The next time i come to play and ask again for a MINI he jumps to shout again if it’s not in writing I’m not giving you a bucket before I can even finish asking. Finally before I can go hit the range balls he says you can park near the range if you want and I reply with that’s ok I’ll leave it there. Then he begins to throw a fit and say well I just move it for you so I don’t accidentally give it away to another customer and also make sure you check in with me before you tee off since your starting late now. Probably won’t return to this course anymore

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for your experience during your visit. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and would love to talk to you more about what happened during these visits. All GolfNow bookers receive a mini bucket with their round and we want to make sure you book again with us. If possible, please reach out to me at barr.fab3@gmail.com or 623-451-4929.

Thank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you, Fred Barr, PGA, General Manager
