Beautiful Course
A really beautiful course in superb condition except for a bit of water damage from recent storms. Fairways and greens in excellent condition.
Quite challenging. Lots of dog-legs and changes in elevation but great fun.
The only down side was the pace of play. We had to wait on every shot. There were two 4-balls in front and although the first group had been told repeatedly to speed up they seemed incapable of doing so. Such a shame and so inconsiderate.
Best of the course on this trip
Challenging, scenic, well maintained. Friendly service.
Good for the money
Greens rolled fast. Course in pretty good shape overall. Very quick round as no one behind us. Only minor complaint was no beverage cart on the course. Overall a nice track, staff very friendly.
nice views in the residential area
The only thing that was a down fall is the pace of play took 5 hrs to play 18 holes. Way too long.
Lightning fast greens
Very scenic with some elevation changes. Greens were extremely fast.
Great course.
Beautiful scenery. Got a very Arizona like feeling.
Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Tough greens
Désert Canyon golf club Arizona
Superbe terrain avec des verts très rapide. Personnel fort accueillant. Le champ de pratique est facilement accessible et les indications sur le parcours sont claires. Je n'aurais aucune hésitation a rejouer ce terrain.
Excellent golf now deal
Golf course condition was very good, good greens speed, with nice mountain views. Could not ask for a better golf now deal.
more than we expected
Very nice layout, changeling , used every club in the bag. greens were quick. staff was very welcoming and helpful. good range. good pace of play. will play it again, great starter course to begin your vacation.
Nice course beautiful scenery
Greens were a little sandy but otherwise a great track and I will play here again.
Fun to Play
This is a very fair course. The views are awesome. People that work there are very friendly!!
Excellent condition
This course has beautiful scenery, great fairway and greens, and overall a great value for your money
Beautiful course
This course was great. I loved the variety of different holes. This course was perfect to play on vacation as it was challenging but not overly difficult. I will definitely go back to play it again.
short but with elevation changes
Good playable course. Greens ran well fairways good. Course made more difficult with elevated greens on many holes.
Disappointed
On a beautiful I played Desert Canyon and was paired with a pleasant couple who had played this course numerous times, They were courteous enough to give me guidance through the course. It is a unique course and visually beautiful, however at least half of the greens were so bare of grass, that you could not keep the ball on the green. We has at least 6 putts of 10 to 15 feet that ran completely off the green and down a hill or ran into a trap. If this improves, I would be back. If not I would not play this course again.
Best Public Course in Phoenix area
This was our second time playing Dessert Canyon and we will play it every time we come to the Phoenix area! We LOVE THIS COURSE! Each hole is so unique and fun and the staff is very friendly. We've played all over and this is one of our top 5 courses! The signature Par 3 (#16) is gorgeous!
Beautiful desert course
The course has character; beautiful views; well maintained
Fun course great views
Really liked the the whole experience! All those that work there are kind and cordial. I will certainly play there again.
Fine course. Small greens
A nice course. The greens were for the most part small and difficult to read Good variety. Close to private homes so b careful y

I'm very sorry that you didn't like the condition of our greens. I personally went out onto everyone of our greens this morning and tried to find what exactly you meant. In Arizona we have to overseed our greens because the Bermuda grass goes dormant as temperatures drop. We have grass on all of our greens and they are fast and true. I hope you return to Desert Canyon in the future
