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.

Course conditions.

I think they do the best they can with the conditions of the course. It's extremely dry, and making needed improvements would take a tremendous amount of money.

HARD HAT

Grass and weeds in sand traps. Was hit almost 2 times and nobody calls out four. Practice balls all over the fairways and fringe so don’t use a yellow ball. The other twosome also had to dodge flying falls from out of nowhere. Not a good experience.

Nice executive course

I haven’t played this course in a long time and was pleasantly surprised. Staff was very friendly and professional. Course was in good shape and the greens were very true. I did not try the food so I can’t really rate that but I did use the practice areas and was very pleased. Overall, a great time and reasonably priced. I’ll be back.

Quick 9 and you know what to expect

Always great to go with my buddies that don’t want to spend an arm and a leg golfing. Great value. Seen a little rushed at times this time a round but probably because of OUR pace.lol. Been here 100 times will be here 100 more.
