Beauty & The Beast

This course is beautiful and such a BEAST all at the same time. This layout will challenge you in all areas of your game but still make you feel lucky to play such a stunning layout. Ton of water with lots of holes where course management is required. Don't let your ego get you in trouble so play the correct tees per your skill level because it definitely plays long!! The rough is deep but nothing too crazy. The fairways were nice and the greens looked awesome and rolled slow even though they were firm. Its a fun course and I would recommend this course and play here again!

More difficult than necessary

Interesting layout, lots of water but what really makes it tough is oddly shaped, slow ,elevated greens and the second cut just off fairway is so high you can lose your ball it.

Fun Semi Private Course

Solid well-maintained course with fun holes. If you can stripe it 300 every time this course will not challenge you as much, ut I found it interesting enough from the blue tees. I teed off early as a single so I can’t comment on pace of play. Value for money is comparatively good for the desert.

Friendly Staff

The course overall was decent, but the greens were very slow and were also very strange shaped with tons of undulation. Staff was fantastic and pace of play was good but overall the course and facility is tired and needs to be upgraded.

Cool day

The course was in good shape and pace of play was excellent. Was able to get a good rate through golfnow.
The person in the pro shop was not very welcoming, I think he wished he was someplace else. On the other hand the fellow who loaded the carts really liked his job and was extremely welcoming.

Mint golf course.

My golfing experience was totally 💯 five star. My only pain was that there was no bar, bar cart or 19th hole available after one of the best golfing experiences of my life.

Pleasant Surprise

This course was better than expected. Didn't enjoy number nine very much, but other than that I liked the layout. The course conditions were excellent. Would definitely play there again.

Bring Food and Drink

Beautiful course, lots of water and elevation changes, BUT no cart service, restaurant not open and bar closed at 5:00 pm. Ordered a post round drink but had to ‘enjoy’ it on patio or parking lot.

Good day on the course

We had a really nice day at Desert Falls. it was a course we could play, as we are not great players. Some of the bunkers were deep and presented challenges, but we did fine with them. We would certainly play there again.

The course was in better condition this week than the week before. Greens and fairways were cut better.
When the wind is up this is a challenging . They have a few bunkers( number 8 for sure )that are cut into hillsides and in certain spots you can't get a club on the ball.

You essentially have to take penalty stroke to hit your sand shot which is very poor design .

Overall we have enjoyed playing it.

Enjoyable round of golf

I really enjoyed playing Desert Falls CC! It reminded me more of a Florida golf course as there wasn’t a lot of desert landscape which made it unique. Some of the greens were uniquely shaped and could result in a 3 or 4 club difference. I felt is was a good value.
