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.

Great for Casual Golfers
Executive Course with a friendly layout. Tee boxes need to be leveled and fairways are average.
Greens in great shape and quite challenging. With the exception of #18, greens are tiered and elevated and defend the against easy Pars for those landing on greens in regulation.
Casual atmosphere with friendly, mostly retirement age, employees. Great for beginners and frequent weekend hackers.
Questionable
The course plays among many abandoned trailers/park models. It’s flat with ridiculous humped greens. Slow play. Lots of seniors.

Slow play
Slow play, ,length is shorter for older players and not long hitters. Greens are tough, hard to stop it on the green.

Brutally slow play
Course was relatively well kept, greens were very challenging. Paid for 18, quit after 9, after 2 hours and 15 minutes( with only 4 holes being par 4's). Group behind us had 5 or 6 players, and that wasn't the only large group out there.

Popular snowbird course
I play here often, it's a well maintained and fairly easy course. Staff is friendly and one of the more reasonably priced courses. The one drawback is it's popular with the older snowbird crowd so the pace is often quite slow.
