Better than ever
We've played Desert Sands for at least 6 years and each season it gets better and better! Ryan and staff ha e the course in fantastic shape, the pro shop has a great new layout and the Slackware serves up yummy foods!! Beverage cart makes it easy to sip a cold one! 😉
Friendly staff
Pro shop staff and starter were very friendly and accommodating. Even got out earlier then our tee time. Greens are tough as very hilly. Pace of play was very good. Overall a good experience.
Enjoyed but not impressed
Good for the price which saved the cost of a course ranger. If there had been one we could have played easily in 3.5 hours.
Best Executive course I ever played
8 par threes and the par 4's were very short as well as the one par 5, but it was later out well.
Domed greens
Every green on this course slopes away from the middle and are very firm and hard to get the ball to stop. Our foursome putted from the fringes on most of the holes after wathing our approached roll off the sides/front/back.
Great Track!
For people that are looking to squeeze in a quick round this short track plays very well. Turtle back greens but still very very fun to play. My nephew and I had a great time.
Thanks!
Had a great time. Weather conditions were not the best, but had a very good time. Hope to be back. 👍⛳️
Bang for your buck
Fairways nice shape tough greens makes it challenging due to easy course
Ok
A plain Jane course. Good for a warm up.
Just played the back nine. Par 34 with even a par 5.
Suspect the front nine more of a glorified par 3 course. Course was in decent shape and pace of play was ok.
Nice course
Nice course but needs a lot of work in between tee box and greens. But it does show they are trying.
