Frequently Asked Questions

Lake Havasu Golf Course has two 18-hole courses- which one should I play first?

We always recommend starting with the West Course if you're looking for a more traditional desert golf experience with tighter fairways. The East Course offers a bit more forgiveness and some truly stunning lake vistas, especially on the back nine, making it great for a more relaxed round.

When is the ideal time to visit Lake Havasu Golf Course to avoid the heat and crowds?

You'll find the best conditions from late fall through early spring- think October to April. The desert heat in summer is no joke, so aim for those cooler months to truly enjoy your round without feeling like you're melting on the back nine.

Beyond just 'lake views,' what unique visual experiences can I expect at Lake Havasu Golf Course?

While the lake is certainly a highlight, what truly sets this course apart are the dramatic desert rock formations framing many holes, especially on the East Course. You'll often find yourself pausing to take in the stark contrast of green fairways against the rugged, sun-baked landscape and the shimmering water.

What's the casual eatery like at Lake Havasu Golf Course- is it worth sticking around after a round?

Absolutely, make time for the casual eatery; it's the perfect spot to unwind. You'll get solid pub fare and cold drinks, but the real draw is the relaxed atmosphere and those fantastic panoramic views of the lake and course from the patio- a great way to recap your birdies and bogeys.

How well-maintained are the courses at Lake Havasu, and what should I expect regarding playability?

We've always found the courses at Lake Havasu to be in excellent shape, especially considering the desert environment. Expect firm, fast fairways and true-rolling greens, but be prepared for some challenging desert carries and the occasional gusty wind off the lake, which can really add a layer to your shot selection.
