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.

Excellent golf on a very hot day

My round started at 8:30 A.M and finished at 1135 A.M. when the temperature reached 105 degrees. I an 70 and a half years old and shot a 71, so a good day.

Not a good course

The tee boxes were so rough you couldn't even get a tee in them, the greens weren't kept well at all and the front desk workers were not friendly

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
