Desert Mirage Golf Course offers a public, nine-hole course and a fully stocked pro shop. The course has a traditional design but that does not mean it is boring. It is perfect for squeezing in a quick game or for beginners and kids. The course is relatively flat, but there are some hills on the course that can affect shots. The greens are medium sized with some slight undulation and the generous fairways are wide open. There are also water hazards and bunkers that come into play on a few of the holes. Desert Mirage Golf Course's signature hole is the par-4 ninth. It requires a tee shot over a lake to an island green.

Great Little Course, and Great for Kids

A fun nine hole course that has a straightforward layout and is great to take the kids to. The other golfers that play there are friendly and were happy to see kids playing golf, so no impatient groups were encountered.

For the money to sharpen your game it is a good spot……… maybe better during the week so as to not hook up with real beginners!

First time ever.

This was my very first time playing golf in general. Trying to get into playing as a hobby. But this course was great. Staff was friendly, cost to get a round was cheap compared to other places. It was a bit tricky to find some holes but overall the experience was great! Thank you!

Great for practice

If you've not played in a while and want to get your "sea legs" back in the game, this is a great little track to play. Only 4 par 4's and 5 par 3's but it is a great track to tune up your game/

If you are with a young child or beginner spouse ....

Executive course that was just fair. Condition, layout, greens, aesthetics and value were just OK. If you are with a young child or just beginner spouse, it would be OK

Perfect Beginner Course

I really like Desert Mirage. The desk guys are really nice. With the Tee Off app, they give you a little bucket of balls to hit on the range. The last time I went with a group of 3, they just gave us a big bucket to split at no extra charge. For a city that is crazy busy for golf, I feel like this course is hidden gem because it provides a chill environment to learn how to play golf.

Fun for beginners short hitters

The ball really rolls and the course is forgiving. My wife can’t grip the clubs due to arthritis, but had a lot of fun. We played with a beginner who played best ball when she miss hit. We moved relatively decently, but a little slow, but no one said anything and everyone had a great time. If you are a stud and scratch golfer this isn’t the course for you.
Had a burger afterwards and it was very good.
