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.

Quite Surprised!
D Trails is thoughtfully laid out and well maintained. The greens are firm but receptive, and the ball rolls true with green speeds I'm guessing around 10+ on the Stemp meter. A fun course and very challenging.
Walked it in 2:30 minutes. My kinda golf!
Course is in great condition!!
Executive course
Desert Trails is an absolute gem of an executive course. Great layout in excellent shape from tee to greens with greens in great shape and fast just how I like them. Friendly staff that was very accommodating. I would highly recommend playing this course and I traveled from Tempe to do it.
Nice Exec Course
Really enjoyed our round here other than I thought a cart was included. Course is in great shape and pace of play was good.
Nice Executive Course
Fun course in really good condition. The only thing is I thought a cart was included in our price as most all are on GN but guess I didn’t read the fine print so that was another $32.
Best Executive Course Around
Really enjoyed the variety of distances and the greens were running true, but very challenging. Love this course!
Very fun course. But pace of play needs to be better
Very fun and exciting course. But there is a lot of waiting on the groups in front.
Great Executive Course - Greens were amazing!
This course is really great. I played the front 9. 3 Par 4s and 6 Par 3s. The greens were in amazing shape. I walked the course, pace was a little bit slow. Waited on multiple holes even with walking. Fairways in good shape on the Par 4s. Really nice little course. Will definitely be back!
Desert Trails - First Timer
This is the first time I played Desert Trails and I very much enjoyed it. The pace of play was very good. The course layout was challenging for me and very different from the other executive courses in Sun City West. Course condition was pretty good but there were some wet spots from water runoff and pooling. The greens were slow which is different from other Sun City West courses. They had all of the practice facilities and a well staffed and friendly pro shop. I will definitely play this course again.
Very Nice
We have added this executive course to our favorites list and will deginitely do it again. The fairways and greens are the best we have played this season. The length of the course is enough to give you full club utilization (7 par 4s). Bunkers are also well maintained and easy to hit from. Really enjoyable walk.
nice and quick to play
course is in excellent shape as are all the SSW courses. Executive course with challenging greens and pin placements. Greens in very good shape but run slow.
The par 4s are long from the blue tees
Very nice for executive course. Best play from blue tees.
