About
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.

Golfing in Mesa
It was a great day for golf course was in pretty good shape a little dry not much hazards an easy course for a highly skilled player but good for your short game and good for my wife because she doesn’t hit the ball very far and she could do 18 holes it was a bargain price in Arizona canine ask for much more would highly recommended this course for any buddy who wants to work on their short game it’s ideal the greens were quite tough because everything is like a basketball you have to be within A foot of the pen to have a shot otherwise they all tend to roll away but just made you a little more accurate

Little Kids
The foursome behind consisted of 2 Children about 2, and 4. Running between the houses, yelling etc. T boxes not level. Cups not cut into greens correctly, not flush with the green.

Horrible Staff
Every golfer can look past a bad course and have a good day but when the marshal and front office are equally horrible. Usually is my winter course and is 5 minutes away, now I gotta to somewhere else.
Great value and a quick round
This time of year is when this course is best. It's affordable - we paid less than $40 for a Friday morning tee time, and the course was fun and in great shape. One of the better values in Mesa.

Good condition
Very good condition for early season, green fairways, greens were a little slow but very good: I think they did a good job interplanting the winter rygrass!
Hello, broncbuster! We work hard all year long to provide an exceptional experience, and it's very satisfying to hear from golfers like you who appreciate our team's efforts. We look forward to seeing you again and again as the season goes on. Thanks so much for choosing Desert Sands Golf Course!
Horrible Staff
Very slow rate of play, waited at every tee box which we didn’t mind, but then the Marshall accused us of causing it and said we made people leave the course. Marshall then admitted to us he didn’t know what was going on and just listening to the front office. Horrible way to spend a day off, save your money and go somewhere else.
BIG IMPROVEMENT
I hadn't played this par 65 course in East Mesa for several years due to bad experiences and terrible conditions in the past.
I decided to give it another try based on recent referrals and I'm glad I did.
If you have a partner that is fairly new at golf or isn't an expert at the sport, this course has a very nice mix of par 3s, par 4s and even one par 5 so the guys can let er rip!
The course had just been overseeded, so it was cart path only, but I was very pleasantly surprised at how much the course conditions and turf had improved since my last experience here.
The greens, though slow, were very smooth and well tended. The fairways were almost lush!
A small complaint about the tee boxes, as several are sloped and it can be hard to find a level lie to tee off from.
The layout is a bit of a labyrinth, having to cross over the busy Sossoman Road on two occasions, but once you play it once or twice it becomes a lot simpler.
The facilities and clubhouse are spartan, but, if you just want a decent 18 hole round in decent conditions at a bargain price, I would highly recommend Desert Sands.
wopcop79, thanks for the amazing review and for choosing Desert Sands Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon!
