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.

Not the greatest
The course is in really bad shape the only thing that was decent were the greens also people might want to fix ball marks or the greens are going to be like the rest of the course. Played in under 2 hours so pace of play was good. It was nice to see fathers and young sons and daughters playing together. The practice area was nice.

It’s an ok course for the money
Everything was very wet and muddy. Goose poop everywhere. The greens are covered in it making the ball slow down and or go off it’s path especially the 9th hole.

Great place for a quick 9 holes
I really like this place. The course is kept up really well and the pace of play is nice, you're not rushed. This a good place for practicing short, mid and long par 3's
