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.

Poor Conditions
The course is in rough shape. Greens are mostly patchy and bumpy. Lots of bare spots in the fairways. Pace of play was pathetically slow on the front 9 ( 3 groups waiting at each tee box on every par 3 hole). Fortunately most were only playing 9 so the back 9 was actually fast. We won't be going back to this one.
Horrible Conditions
Course is in worst shape ever. We have played many times throughout the years and this time was the worse. Female starter was not friendly at all. Most players there only do 9 holes so the pace of play for 9 was really bad, back 9 was much better.
Decent exec course
Nothing spectacular but a fine souped up executive course. One par 5 and many par fours will allow most to use drivers or fairway woods. Pretty wide open. Good course to practice irons. Greens were odd mounded structures that were challenging to putt on
HORRIBLE!!!!!
This has got to be one of the worst golf courses I have ever played in my life. Just terrible. It was patchy and the staff was just terrible. I do not know how that golf course gets any business at all. It is 50 bucks to play a goat ranch. This is not an environment to play golf.
They were running behind. I think the group in front of us slid a group or two in on their tee times.
Low Rates
This course has some of the lowest rates around, especially during the prime season. The course is not in the greatest shape but still very nice. Really crowded. My only real complaint is that so many holes on the green seem to have a raised lip. New holes don't seem to be tamped down properly. Other than that, it's a fun and scenic course to play.
Good greens, slow play
Course is in good shape for the most part. Greens have a few spotty brown spots, but pretty well taken care of. The greens are small, but there are a couple that have crazy undulations and mounds in them. I signed up as a single, completing a foursome, but got sent off as a single amongst higher groups. I did ask for ( and received) a rain check for the back nine.
Weekend slow play
Short course but tons of wait … greens are rolling ok but all are small mushroom tops!
