Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Desert Hills without melting?

We highly recommend visiting Desert Hills from late fall through early spring. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures perfect for a full 18 holes, completely avoiding the intense summer heat that makes afternoon rounds a real grind. The desert landscape is also at its most vibrant during these months.

How challenging is Desert Hills, especially for a mid-handicapper?

Desert Hills offers a fair but engaging challenge, particularly with its strategically placed bunkers and the ever-present desert scrub ready to penalize errant shots. The greens are generally true but feature subtle breaks that will truly test your putting touch. It's a course where smart course management often triumphs over sheer power.

What unique desert features should I expect and prepare for at Desert Hills?

Beyond the well-maintained fairways, you'll definitely encounter the desert's natural inhabitants - we've spotted everything from roadrunners to coyotes enjoying the scenery. Always bring extra water, even on cooler days, and keep an eye out for those stunning desert vistas, especially as you approach holes 7 and 14.

Is Desert Hills good value for money, and what are the typical green fees?

We believe Desert Hills offers excellent value, especially when you compare it to some of the flashier resort courses in the region. Green fees typically range from $60-90, depending on the season and time of day, which is a fantastic price for a well-kept 18-hole desert track. You're paying for solid golf, not just an inflated name.

What's the best way to cool down and celebrate after a round at Desert Hills?

The clubhouse grill at Desert Hills serves up a surprisingly good burger and ice-cold beer, perfect for a quick post-round debrief with your playing partners. If you're looking for a change of scenery, we suggest heading into the nearest town center for some authentic local Southwestern fare and a more relaxed atmosphere.
