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.

Played by myself for the first time

Other than the markings on where to go for the next tee on some holes, I had a good experience. Greens in good condition and the course is challenging enough for the average golfer.

Best Beginners course

I have been coming to DM since I started golfing and haven’t stopped since. Whenever I stop golfing periodically I usually go to DM to get back into the groove and it’s never failed. I love the course, the staff are wonderful and the pace of play is amazing for anyone just enjoying the beautiful game.

Best Bang for the Buck!

Desert Mirage is a jewel in the desert …well kept and a true value….
The club house is well stocked with essentials if you’re short on tees or balls with a good selection of reasonably priced name brands.
The double cooler stocked with beverages ready to load your cooler and cocktails are definitely available next door in the snack bar where tasty lunches and pizzas are offered and exceptional!
Warm up on the natural grass range then off on your round! 👍👍

The are Better Courses

Will not be returning to this course. We are intermidiate golfers so are very forgiving to most situations but we did not enjoy this course. Fairways and greens are rough. Lots of mud and goose crap. Very tight layout with lots of below average golfers. If you were very far off the fairway or green you were hitting into someone. Never heard so many people shouting "four" in my life. Pace was really slow, 4 guys ahead of us rarely hit a decent tee shot.
Good course for beginners
