It is a desert-style course with some elevated tees and open fairways that play tight with a few doglegs. Water bunkers come into play on a few holes as well as numerous well-positioned sand bunkers. From nearly every hole on the golf course, views of the signature fountain in Fountain Hills, which is the world's tallest fountain at 550 feet, can be seen.

View from first hole Photo submitted by Mike8484427 on 03/04/2013
Course is in great condition. Won’t find a better value in the valley. Got behind an extremely slow foursome, but the ranger did a good job of moving them along. Would highly recommend this course.
A beautiful morning!
This was our first time playing Desert Canyon, and it didn’t disappoint. It was well maintained, and very challenging, but beautiful.we can’t wait to play again.
Straight from airport
Staff took my luggage and stored it for me. Restaurant was very good. Greens were very nice.
Great place
Flew in and staff took care of luggage and had a great day
Very enjoyable course and layout. Very hilly but easy to navigate. Great views of mnts and surrounding areas. Pace of play was spot on. Will play again.
Awesome
Staff was great, the course was amazing and the views were awesome... would recommend to anyone who is new or a pro. Some of the greens were a little hard and could use a little more water but all in all the place was amazing!!!
Fun course!
My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon round of golf at Desert Canyon, ending with a great dinner under a full moon. The scenery on the course is amazing. Just a great place to spend the day. The course itself is not long but presents challenges. Highly recommend this course, especially for couples that like to play together.
Will Play Again
Course was in great shape and pace of play wasn't bad. Greens were fast and also in great shape. This course will be on my go to list when I am looking for a course with great views and not paying as much as the over priced courses in the Scottsdale area. The Clubhouse/19th hole and staff is excellent! See you on my next golf trip Desert Canyon
Coach
Course was fun but don’t even think about hunting for your ball landing in the Chollas. Course condition was top notch.
Great Course!
My son & I played this course when he flew in from Chicago. I booked it because of the reasonable cost.
The course was not easy but not overwhelming either. The views were incredible! Lots of elevation changes on the course. Every hole had a beautiful view.
My wife and I are going back this week.
