Beautiful day for an excruciating slow round of golf.
The course was nice, the greens super fast but nice. The pace of play was so bad, took almost 6 hours to do our round. Nice course but probably won’t go back.

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!
