About
Desert Trails Golf Course is an executive course that possesses an interesting variety of par 4s that gives the opportunity for getting practice with every club. The course is most suited for beginning and intermediate players, and due to its flat terrain it is a good course for golfers who enjoy walking. Desert Trails Golf Course features wide fairways and undulating greens. Water hazards only come into play on the front nine but there are sand bunkers throughout the entire course to add some interest. Each hole offers three different tees to provide more possibilities as well as the option to adjust the game to different abilities and skill levels.

Good for short game work
Overall great value. There are enough par 4 holes to keep it interesting but the real value is in working on my irons for par 3s. Cool
Little course
Nice Course!
Friendly staff! Wife got a hole in one on hole #16 which was awesome! They don't have anything special for non-residents if they get a hole in one which is fine but something to consider for the golf club.
Course itself was in great condition, I would rate it fairly easy and no one in the group hit any houses. It is an executive course but has 18 holes. Lots of par 4's so depending on how far you hit you may be able to use your driver.
We will definitely be back!
Good time
Fun track. Walkable. Enough challenge mixed with shorter holes. Qwik way to play.
Beautiful course and friendly staff
We had a wonderful time playing your beautiful course! There’s definitely a sense of pride and love of the course by members and staff. We will definitely be back, thank you.
Fun and Challenging executive course
Great executive length course with plenty of challenges for intermediate golfers like us.
Nice fun executive length course with plenty of challenge.
We had a friendly relaxing round. Unless you hit a driver 300 yes you can play most clubs in your bag.
Thanks
Great pace good value
Course fairways were in very good shape while off areas were standard dry condition. Greens were very nice with a few tough pin placements. Just love Holes 15 and 16.
Great course!
This is a well managed and well laid out course! If you don't have 4 or 5 hours to play and want to play 18 holes, I recommend this lovely course. We will be back!

This is a really nice course. Love the layout, greens are challenging because they are very firm and fast. My only problem is with the ranger. We teed off with nobody in front of us for the first two-three holes. Halfway through the front nine he comes by to ask us to pick up the pace. Mind you, my son and I are walking and the couple we played with had their own cart. None of us were messing around, taking too much time, etc. occasionally we saw people behind us, but not waiting like we were slow.
By the time we get to the 15th hole, this ranger is really adamant about us picking up the pace because “we are holding everyone up”. Well behind us the whole day is a twosome, followed by a threesome, (ALL IN CARTS)! Meanwhile we tee off on 16, and the twosome isn’t even in the fairway on 15 yet.. so how are we going slow? I even told him “look we are hitting the greens on our par 3’s how are we slow? His response, “move up to the next closest tee then. Wait what??? How about you tell the group of two and the group of three to chill out?
I then spoke to him after the round because I was going to complain to a manager inside. He said we should finish this course in less than 3 hours and that is what he was going by. Well we finished in 3 hours and 15 minutes.. so again tell the “members” who were complaing to relax. If I pay money to play a course and I’m not messing around looking for lost balls and taking too long then let me play my game otherwise adjust your tee times accordingly.
I can’t wait for summer time because there won’t be anybody on this course because it will be too hot. Even for the ranger!
