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.

Nice people at the cart bay and shop, unfortunately due to tee box renovations it was a very very short round. One of my shots was less than 100 yards from the tee box. Course was in good shape. The greens were well manicured but tricky. Fun to play on. It was okay for the money. Finished in about 3.5 hrs.
