To me this course is the best value around. Everything is in great shape. We usually golf around 1:00pm and my only complaint is that the clubhouse is closed when we are done so we can’t sit and have a drink. I’ve

The course is in nice condition with the new grass filling in. It is a good course for golfers who slice or hook the ball as it gives you some room for errors. The course is pretty open so it is fairly hard to lose a ball. The staff are excellent, very friendly.

Good Day at Desert Hills
The course conditions we different from last fall, I think it’s because they have oversseded the fairways & greens so grass was a bit longer than usual. Two guys in front of us on separate carts took forever, they visited after finishing every putt, every drive & everything else in between. Took forever.
