Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is the Outlaw course at Desert Mountain for an average golfer?

Outlaw is designed to be forgiving off the tee with wide fairways, but don't let that fool you. The greens are where this course truly tests your short game and putting, demanding precision to score well. We found it a fair challenge that rewards smart play over brute force.

When is the best time of year to experience the Outlaw course at Desert Mountain?

We highly recommend playing Outlaw from October through April. The desert weather is absolutely perfect then, offering comfortable temperatures and stunning clear skies, which really lets you appreciate the course's natural beauty. Avoid the summer months; it gets brutally hot, making for a less enjoyable round.

What makes the Outlaw course's design stand out from other desert courses in Arizona?

Outlaw truly embraces its desert surroundings with a unique "prairie links" feel, featuring wide-open spaces and minimal forced carries, which is a refreshing change. You'll find a distinct lack of traditional desert target golf here, allowing for more strategic shot-making and a different kind of challenge.

Can non-members play the Outlaw course, and what's the best way to arrange a tee time?

As part of the exclusive Desert Mountain Club, Outlaw is primarily for members and their guests. Your best bet as a non-member is to stay at a reciprocal club or inquire about a "Discovery Visit" package if you're considering membership. Otherwise, playing here is quite limited, so plan well in advance.

What kind of amenities or post-round experience can we expect after playing Outlaw?

After your round, you'll want to relax at the Outlaw Clubhouse, which offers fantastic views and a welcoming atmosphere. We always enjoy grabbing a drink and a bite there, reflecting on the challenging greens and the beautiful desert landscape you just navigated. It's the perfect way to cap off the experience.
