Desert golfing spot with separate 18-hole courses, plus a casual eatery & views of the lake.

Frequently Asked Questions

With two 18-hole courses, which one should I play first at Lake Havasu Golf Club, and what's the main difference?

You'll find the West Course offers a more traditional desert layout with wider fairways, making it a great warm-up or a slightly more forgiving round. The East Course, in our opinion, is the real challenge, demanding more precision with tighter fairways and more dramatic elevation changes that really test your shot-making. We recommend tackling the East if you're looking for a true test of your desert golf skills.

When's the best time of year to visit Lake Havasu Golf Club for ideal playing conditions?

We strongly recommend visiting between late fall and early spring-think October through April-to avoid the intense desert heat. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures perfect for walking or riding, though you might encounter more crowds during the peak winter months when snowbirds flock to the area. Book your tee times well in advance, especially for weekend mornings.

How prominent are the lake views at Lake Havasu Golf Club, and what are some signature holes to look out for?

The lake views are definitely a highlight, especially on the back nine of the East Course where several holes offer stunning panoramas of Lake Havasu. Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th on the East, where you're hitting downhill towards the lake-it's a fantastic photo opportunity and a fun, challenging shot. You'll find the desert landscaping throughout both courses is beautifully maintained, adding to the unique experience.

What's the typical pace of play like at Lake Havasu Golf Club, especially on busy days?

You can generally expect a reasonable pace of play, around four to four and a half hours, but it can slow down significantly on peak winter weekends. We've found that early morning tee times are your best bet for a quicker round, especially if you're playing the East Course. Be prepared for a bit of a wait if you're teeing off mid-morning during the busiest season.

After a round, is the casual eatery at Lake Havasu Golf Club worth sticking around for?

Absolutely, the casual eatery is a solid spot to unwind after your round. You'll find it's unpretentious with good, straightforward pub fare-think burgers and sandwiches-and the views from the patio are a real bonus. It's not gourmet, but it's perfect for a cold drink and a bite while you recap your birdies (or bogeys) with your playing partners.
