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.

Great value!

Great course for the price! Fun little course, everything plays pretty straight. No real complaints for being one of the more cost friendly courses

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.

Fun Course

I am from Chicago area. Played this course for first time. It was a fun course. Nice variety of holes. Some holes were challenging. Would probably play again.

Wide open

Cool little course, fairways are very forgiving. Greens are fairly difficult.
