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.

Hi, u314159683178. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Desert Sands Golf Course.
It’s the neighborhood course
I grew up in this area and this is the facility that I used to sharpen my golf skills for over 25 years. Staff is always friendly and helpful. The layout is simple and you’d really have to be a major hacker to lose your ball. THE GREENS ARE TOUGH!! One minute you think got it read and next thing you know you’re breaking and missing that majors putt.
Pace is typical. And the tee boxes posses another challenge. It’s great for the price.
Typical time is 3-3,5 hours.

Very friendly staff did not like going across four lanes of traffic it would’ve been better to have an overpass or an underpass
Thanks so much for the great review, DPdoran. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Desert Sands Golf Course.
Glad I only did 9
Friendly people on course. Not a real course, not an executive course. For what I paid on Golf Now should have been better quality course. Would not come back to this course.

Good Course
This was our second time to play this course. We selected it due to being a shorter course as my husband is recovering from ankle surgery. Challenging enough without being super long. Great value, friendly staff, and the course was in very good condition for a desert course. We will play it again.
u314160176904, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Desert Sands Golf Course.
Beginners course
Course is quite short and needs some tlc. Greens on front nine are in poor shape. Ok place if you just a place to swing your clubs.
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff. Thanks for visiting Desert Sands Golf Course!
Slow Play
The course was in great shape and a great value. The worst part was that it took close to 4-1/2 hrs. to play the round. There was no one out there to speed up slow groups, very disappointed. If your ok waiting on every hole then this is the course for you.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u9457898. Your feedback is valuable, and we will use it to make positive changes. We look forward to seeing you again soon at Desert Sands Golf Course.
