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.

Domed greens

Every green on this course slopes away from the middle and are very firm and hard to get the ball to stop. Our foursome putted from the fringes on most of the holes after wathing our approached roll off the sides/front/back.

Greens are tough if you don’t land right where you want. Pinehurst like with the pin on a hill fading away every way you can think

Nice course but needs a lot of work in between tee box and greens. But it does show they are trying.

Ok

A plain Jane course. Good for a warm up.

Just played the back nine. Par 34 with even a par 5.

Suspect the front nine more of a glorified par 3 course. Course was in decent shape and pace of play was ok.

Fun layout though quite short. Nice views of the superstions. Kind of over crowded for the price. Waited 2 or 3 deep on several tee boxes.

Oldie

First group out for the day. Pace of play was perfect....Surrounding community run down and neglected. Definitely takes away from your experience. Good course for beginners to practice on at a fair price.

Good course for your money

Course for an executive course had the nicest fairways I’ve played in a while down here. Greens were changing to say the least. Great value for your money if you like playing executive courses
