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.

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.

Great Executive course

Greens were in beautiful shape and very challenging. Par 3 fairways were not watered but I suppose that is because you are supposed to hit the greens. Par 4 fairways were beautiful. Even with waiting for a short time on some holes we finished in just over 3 hours. I will definitely return to Desert Trails

Course is in good condition, greens need attention.

Course is very open for a Exec course. I did not observe any trick holes, what you see is what you play.
Nice views around the course, all the homes are well maintained and you fell a need to keep it clean. This course is not easy to play cart paths only, the cart paths are a good walk from the fairways and greens.
I enjoyed playing this course, but did not feel challenged.
