Very nice municiple course

Played this course for the first time and used the white tees. Found the course long and challenging from that tee box. Course was in great shape for a municiple course that usually doesn't experiece players that tend to take care of a course. This course was great!

Greens in good shape

The course is very well maintained and generally in good shape. I think personally that 8 minute tee times is probably a bit too short considering the general age demographic out there, unless you are going to have rangers reinforcing pace of play.

The golf course is in really good shape and fun to play.

On the day that I played the conditions got really bad due to wind and sand so it made it a lot harder than it should have been

Sand traps could use some drains and general attention. The course, overall is in great shape and is a fun track with challenges. Highly reccommend !

I'll be back next year

Dessert Hills was definitely a great experience.
From the moment I entered the pro shop and talked with Chris, to enjoying $2 oysters at the outside bar, I had an amazing time!
I will be back next winter, for sure.
Thanks, Dessert Hills.

Very nice Muni!

Visiting family in Yuma so played a round today. Nice course. Practice range a little banged up but nice short game area. Course in ok shape Few bare spots on some of the fairways which seems odd for Feb Arizona golf. Guy who checked me in (mustache & beard) seemed a bit standoff-ish but maybe he was having a bad day. Great bar facilities. Will definitely come back
