Desert Sands Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Good value
If you not played dessert sands in 3 years give it an other chance the course is in the best shape ever.
Mow
Greens need to be mowed down to speed them up a little and the grass around the greens was way too long needed to be mowed a week ago. also the entire course needs to be sprayed for weeds the cheese weed is out of control and you can’t find the ball in it.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Desert Sands Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Rough too high around greens
This is the first time the rough around greens was 6 inches high, with no collar around greens. I missed green by 5 feet and lost my ball as rough was so high. This is a fun course and not a Championship course. Pace of play is affected by this too. Cut the rough please!

Pace of Play
My wife and a 3rd person in our group of 3 teed of at 10:35am on Sunday, November 14, 2021. The foursome in front of use was extremely slow. Our round of golf took 4 hours 15 minutes. We did not see a Marshall yesterday. I realize the course has a Men’s League on Sunday morning. The foursome ahead of us often had just about a complete hole ahead of them empty. Most times people were leaving the green while this foursome was on the tee on the longer Par 4 holes. Very, very aggravating.
We’ll come back to Desert Sands. We are always treated well.

So many other choices…
Drove up and there was a strong sense of horse manure. Turns out close to a feed company. Small executive course that should have taken 2.5-3 hours . Took 4.5 hours. Pace of play ridiculously slow. With no Marshall helping song we were often 3 groups on the tee box. Also course was in poor shape. Had I know I would have chosen another course.

Playable good layout.
The tee boxes were shaggy and lumpy. The fairways were the same way. The layout is actually pretty nice but I’m not sure they own a lawn mower. The greens were well manicured thou
