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.

A nice local course more in line with an executive course

This is a small local course. It's pretty flat and short so makes for a fairly easy course to play. I went in the afternoon in summer and it was VERY quick round ... maybe about 3 hours. For what it is, it's a nice course and I would love to have a place in the community.

not on 10

course is looking sad for summer just starting and when the pace is going good and you have very slow people playing ie 28 minutes for hole 13 they should never let people start a round of 9 on the 10th

Perfect for what it is

Is this a Tiger Woods design quality course? No. But if you’re looking for a straight forward, relatively easy course with consistently good conditions (especially the greens compared to most courses in the summer) and great value, don’t sleep on Desert Sands! It’s my go to value course.

Great for the money

Fun quick course only real difficulty I personally had was the raised greens. Could definitely mess with your head on a few of the holes. Also dependent on the hole placement. Great for any level of play.

Summer prices are back!!

Love these summer prices! Plus, there's hardly anyone on the course! Played 18 holes in 1 hour 45min!! Course has held up nicely with the over seeding and watering that they are doing! Great job!!
