Great course great value

Desert hills is a great value and always in good condition. Greens are always in great shape and fairways too. Only thing they could do better is quality of the bunkers. Other than that I’ve loved playing here.

Top Course in Yuma

I’ve played here many times and it never disappoints! The Marshall was active in pushing players along in order to keep pace of play (us, it was us he was pushing). But it was understandable. Many courses the Marshall will not approach slow groups. But the conditions are always top notch. Unfortunately they will be shutting down 9 holes in June for much needed irrigation upgrades. Can’t wait to play this course again!

First Time Playing

Fun oasis in the desert!

We were looking for a nice round of golf before entertaining at the Yuma County Fairgrounds and it was a blast. Nice course and wonderful people there. Both the staff and other golfers were awesome! The wind kicked up a little crazy mid way around,, but didn’t ruin the fun!

Looking forward to another round next time, we’re in town!!!

Kind of amazed

We are traveling across the country since January. Even though we are aware that the winter conditions are winter conditions!! We have to admit that the overall conditions of this course is far ahead from what we’ve played so far. Specially impressed of the green conditions and speed of the greens. It was a fun course to play also with 18 real different holes. Cheers.

First Time Playing

More than I expected

When I got to the course, I was in front of the range. It looked a little bumpy. But to my suprise, it was the only bumpy look I had. The greens where great with a good speed, kept there line, and for a city that has 300 days of sun per year, they must have a good budget for watering the fairways. Except for hole #1 that is a little commun or ordinary hole, the rest of the holes are a lot different one from another. Great place to play!!
