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.

Great Introduction to Desert Golf

Had a blast at this course. Golf in Arizona is pretty pricey but this course will not disappoint you at its price point. From the concession at the turn to the great course upkeep, I recommend this course.

Friendly staff

Pro shop staff and starter were very friendly and accommodating. Even got out earlier then our tee time. Greens are tough as very hilly. Pace of play was very good. Overall a good experience.

Enjoyed but not impressed

Good for the price which saved the cost of a course ranger. If there had been one we could have played easily in 3.5 hours.

Great Track!

For people that are looking to squeeze in a quick round this short track plays very well. Turtle back greens but still very very fun to play. My nephew and I had a great time.
