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.

Hard green! The hardest part of the course with elevated and sloped greens. Also, they are slow so overall a challenge to conquer.

Not bad

I don't think the over seeding has taken effect. Fairways we're thin, greens slow and gimmicky. My wife who is a beginner enjoyed the course. Not for me.
