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.

Good executive course to get some practice in. Fairways wide & flat, & in good condition. The greens are domed, fast, so staying on the green means you need to hit accurately. Pro shop was well stocked & had lots of ladies clothing!

Lady at the Counter

The course was great, all staff was great EXCEPT FOR THE LADY AT THE FRONT COUNTER. It was a blonde haired lady who was extremely rude and condescending. As I was just trying to purchase 18 holes for me and my girlfriend she was more than rude with condescending comments and constantly glaring at us. It made for an uncomfortable round of golf as every time we would pass the club house she was standing outside of it giving nasty looks. I have read many reviews about the course and several of them have to do with this lady. As long as she continues to work there, we will not be golfing at Desert Sands.

Greens and fairways were in good condition. Greens are challenging. 3.25 hours for 18 with crowded tee times was a pleasant surprise.
