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.

Fun Course

I've played this course 3 or 4 times. It is a fun course. Greens are very tough. A misread putt can send you off the green. Not many easy putts.

Very enjoyable day

My 3 friends and I had a great time playing this short, but challenging course. The greens were small and fast, which requires a good short game. The pace of play was perfect,much better than I expected and way better than other nearby courses.
