Desert Forest Golf Club

Desert Forest is often called the original “desert golf” course, and you can see why. Instead of forcing water or lush landscaping, it embraces the natural terrain. The result is a layout that feels rugged, authentic, and beautifully minimalist. Fairways are narrow, greens are quick, and accuracy is a must. It’s not the most forgiving course, but it’s rewarding for players who enjoy a true test of golf. The quiet, natural setting makes it peaceful as well—you really feel like you’re out in the desert, playing golf the way it was meant to be there.

One of the most challenging golf courses there is but very fun if you can handle some lost balls and crazy lines off the tee. Range is nice and clubhouse is good.

Very nice course I've never played. Private members only. My daughter does high school golf practice here and says it is great.

I called and spoke to Mike on the phone - he hung up on me while I was asking for assistance. I was incredibly kind on the phone despite him cutting me off, only to get hung up on. I've never golfed here, but I definitely won't after being treated like that over a simple phone call.

Really enjoyed my first time to Desert Forest. One of the more challenging tracks I have ever played. Just out of overseed so the grass was lush, and the greens were fast and true. I am looking forward to the next time, I feel like I will have a better idea of where I need to be to put the ball in better position for the next shot, some deceiving angles & visuals. Had a great time!! ⛳️

Amazing design, exquisitely maintained course is not for the faint of heart. Precision, focus and shot making required on this course. A golfers golf course where making par is a good score on any hole. Takes a few times thru to be able to score, but worth the time. Members are warm and receptive to guests.

Crazy tough golf course, I have left many golf balls in the desert, but immaculately maintained and fun to play. People in the clubhouse and grill are wonderful and very nice to get to know.

Beautifully maintained. Hard.course.

A top private club with the amenities tippy want. Great golf course, excellent food and beverages. Very limited membership allows for easy access to a tee time

I was fortunate to play at Desert Forest last week. An amazing place with a wonderful golf course. Challenging but a fair test. Friendly members and staff. Can’t wait to go back!

The course way beautiful. My Great Grandpa built this golf course many years ago. It was nice to see that they take so much pride in maintaining it.

Arguably this could be the best course in Arizona, if the membership didn't take the controversial step of rebuilding the greens. I vote that they flatten out the putting surfaces.
