Desert Canyon Golf Club

Fun course with elevation changes. Very challenging course for high handicap players.

Couldn't believe how overpriced this joint is... $100 on an Arizona resident rate, a $5 upcharge for 20 warmup balls, no beverage cart on a 100 degree day and no food available, as the chef said "he just got in" and was "warming it up" Tons better options for the price... only good thing was pace of play cause there were only 3 groups who teed off in an 1.5 hour window.

FOR THIS COURSE YOU WILL ALWAYS GET AN ERROR AFTER IT TAKES YOUR MONEY!!!

GOLF NOW KEEPS SAYING THE TEE TIME ISN'T AVAILABLE AND NO ONE IS ANSWERING THE PHONES!!! WHO IS RUNNING THIS PLACE, RONALD MCDONALD!!!????!!!

This course is 5 minutes from our house and over the years we have played it many times. This year they made many changes to the loyalty program and pricing that pushed most locals out as they aimed the program at winter visitors. We have only played there this one time so far in 2024 and they changed the pricing structure so much we will probably not play there again. No water on the course, only a bottle each for the players in the cooler. No free practice balls in the summer! Just not the local friendly course it used to be!

This is really a great course. Don’t let the yardage fool you, this is a challenge right off the bat with #1. This course is in really good shape. Greens and bunkers are nice. GPS in cart, 3 1/2 hour round. Would recommend the grille after, really good food and service, a lot of food! Definitely like the challenge of this course.

Very happy with their course. There was trouble and waste areas but there was typically a safe side to play to avoid trouble. Greens and fairways were in good shape. Greens were a little on the slow side (not a bad thing). They held shots well.

They had cart girls and pace of play was decent. A marshall gave us a warning when we were approaching a backup but it passed quickly. He also gave us bottles of water which was very appreciated

Thank you for an enjoyable round. My only decision to ease the cart path only restriction in the heat of the summer.

Enjoyed playing earlier this GC before temperature gets 110+. The GC was in good condition.

For a round in July, the golf course was in good condition.

Stunning views

Horrid greens. Fairways 5/10. Tee boxes 6/10. Greens are.unusable. More sand than grass.

Overall, I was quite impressed with the track. Challenging and dynamic! Really a lot of fun. Patchy in some areas of the fairways and green, but otherwise fine. I’d love to go back when it’s allgrown in!

Great layout. Friendly staff. Nice bar/restaurant. Not much more to ask for.

As the course winds through housing it becomes a little tricked up in places. That being said there are plenty of challenging holes with a variety of elevations. A plus is the scenery and vistas of Fountain Hills. If you have the time it’s worth the trip over the mountain.

Not for the beginner. You must not bring your buddy that is just learning the game or your girlfriend that has only 1 full round under her belt. This course is not long but it can play longer than you realize because it goes up and down constantly with sharp turns with lots of slope. Most greens are elevated. Everything is uneven in the fairways some holes. You must choose your club wisely. You must shape a few shots to score well and have lots of course knowledge. Don't underestimate this course based on the card. If you have trouble walking uphill or downhill, do not play here. You'll be required to walk to an uphill green or sidehill fairways all day..A couple holes are cart path only as well. I love this course and I love to work the Nall in both directions off the tee. Greens are slow right now. Hopefully that changes soon. Need to be cut soon.

Fairways and greens were in great shape and the views were stunning. Challenging course
