Don't waste your time.
From the moment we arrived, the pro shop staff was horrible with guest service and the course was in terrible condition. I understand it's right before overseed, but hitting a perfect drive in middle of fairway and having to grass to hit off is kind of ridiculous. The groundskeeping guy so was so busy watching videos on his phone while attempting to mow he almost hit our cart twice. Debris on greens and multiple grounds keeping staff standing around doing nothing. Not a good experience whatsoever. Only bright spot, the cheap beverages and the nice bev cart woman
Never again on a Friday
Most of the fairways are dirt this time of year the greens are nice and challenging. never play again on a Friday after all the locals have their tournament the course is a disaster and trashy
Good place. Had a good time.
Great place to spend your time. Shorter holes. Not much amenities, but lots of grass coverage. Interesting greens. For this course condition and this price, I would recommend this place.
Good value
Nice course for older and newer golfers with the shorter length and less opportunities to get into trouble. Course conditions were quite good and the staff was very friendly.
Fast paced 18 hole. Good conditions. Great for your short game
AZ Golf
Course is in fair to good condition due to the time of year and heat. Carts are in good condition and clean. Pro shop staff friendly and helpful. Pace of play is great as it is not busy at all right now.
Great value course
I come to Desert Sands often because it’s very affordable to play and it’s always in good playing condition. Most courses with similar price ranges have very rough tee boxes,, fairways and greens. Desert Sands keeps their course looking nice and playable. It’s why I always come back to play.
Great Value for the Money
Alright, this is july in Arizona, so the course was not emerald green, but was still very playable. Course of play would have been great had a twosome ahead of me, had not hit 4 balls on every hole. Staff is always helpful and friendly. This is a good course to keep sharp.
Starter sucked
The starter at the course had no idea what she was doing. Absolutely no idea sent out a foursome and four singles at the same time by the time I got to the third hole I was already waiting was only able to play only four holes.
