This Course Is In Great Shape

Really enjoyed playing Desert Springs G C, a course that was NOT full of the typical burned and bare spots from tee to green that I see at many/most courses in the summer. Kudos to the G C crew and management. Staff was very friendly and the price was right for golf and also for beer and a dog. It was a bit of a drive for me to get there but it is well worth it and I will go back to play here again soon. Plus a 3 1/2 hour round on a Saturday, how great is that.

Great layout and condition

I was very pleasantly surprised at the condition of this course for August. Fairways and greens in excellent shape, better than some courses in winter. Good layout and good pace. Will definitely go back again.

Good track.

This course is usually in very good condition. The day we played, the greens were smooth and fast, fairways were in great shape and we played (twosome) in less than 3 hours. Course can be tough from the back tees, especially when the wind is blowing. Wide fairways help keep your ball in play.

Excellent Round of Golf

First time we had played this course in many years. We loved it. Greens were fast with challenging slopes and wonderful surface condition. Plenty of water features to add an extra challenge. Played in a shotgun start yet still finished in 3 3/4 hours with very little waiting. Highly recommended.

Challenging Course

Greens were a little rough and bumpy but guess that is to be expected this close to over seed time.

Avoid until mid November

Tees and fairways were OK, but for some reason they decided to scalp their greens 2 weeks before overseeding. If you have a putt over 3 feet, good luck! I like this course, but the greens are so bad now it is just a waste of time.

This course is an excellent course with great features.

It is being readied for overseeding so the greens are mowed close. The layout is outstanding and challenging.

best price and best condition you'll play this summer!

I've always loved this trio of courses. We played Desert Springs today and it's the best conditioned course at the best price in the valley! Trying to play the full trio, Desert Springs, Granite Falls and Cimmarron.
