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.

The course is in good condition. The pace of play was very good. The staff members are very friendly & helpful. Although it's an executive course, it is fairly difficult once you get to the green. Greens provide for significant slope. Don't be alarmed if you have a one too many three putts! Course provides a good golfing value.
