Located in Mesa, Desert Sand Golf Course is an executive length course with a short layout that is most suitable for beginners, but it is also a good place for golfers of all skill levels to work on their short game skills. Due to its flat terrain, the course is easy to walk with few elevation changes. The greens are remarkably fast and water hazards come into play on five holes. There are also sand bunkers scattered throughout the course. The Desert Sand Golf Course facility offers a chipping area and putting green and it is also home to a golf school.

Pro shop lady is terrible/ pace of play even worse

Old blonde lady in the pro shop has gotta be one of the most unpleasant people I’ve met in a customer service setting. I think her name is Bonnie. Poor lady must have some deep rooted issues to be so rude to every single person in line to check in. Not one person I spoke with on the course had something nice to say. I’m thinking the job might be too stressful for her. Her rude and unprofessional attitude honestly almost ruined my morning. Shooting a clean 70 made everything better. When I called her out on being rude, she asked a co worker if she’s rude and of course he said no. Stay clear of this place. They overbook times on this short course. 18 holes 5 hours and 15 mins Par 65

Not a good course

The tee boxes were so rough you couldn't even get a tee in them, the greens weren't kept well at all and the front desk workers were not friendly
