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.

Small course
Worth what we paid. The course has one par 5, the rest are 3 and a few 4s. Greens are all domed so quite tough. Fairways mostly ok. Water doesn't really come into play. Very nice starter and cart girl.

Patchy
The fairways are in good shape, but if you're one yard off the fairway be prepared to have tufts of grass and bare spots. Tee areas and the areas in front of greens need mowing.
I'm also wondering why I can't submit scores from this course to GHIN.

Short course, good for beginners
A short course that would is good for a beginner golfer or someone trying to improve their short game. The greens were in good shape. If your ball stayed on the fairway you were okay. The 'rough' was not really rough, but mostly hard gravelly areas. Crossing the busy street to play part of the back nine was not nce. The staff were really friendly!
