Desert Dunes Golf Club closed in late 2024:
Dear Desert Dunes Patrons,
We are sad to announce that due to unforeseen circumstances the Desert Dunes Golf Course has permanently closed. Management thought this would be a good year. The course was in great shape and management even ordered a new golf cart fleet. Unfortunately, a combination of the weather, the well on sixteen collapsing , the watering system needing to be rebuilt, and continuing losses caused the decision to close. We sincerely appreciate your previous support and the support of our amazing staff. We did our best to try to make it work, however, when we ran out of money trying to maintain the course to the standards, we have all enjoyed. Our outside funding ceased and given all the issues, we had no choice than to close the course.
Fortunately, the Wildlife, Dunes, and Land are now under the care of Oswit Land Trust. Our hope is that the land becomes a permanent Nature Preserve in the near future.
Respectfully,
Desert Dunes Management & Staff
As of Oct 31st, 2024, the previous message was posted on the homepage. Previously it had presented a description of the course:
Winding through natural sand dunes and surrounded by an abundance of native vegetation, Desert Dunes is the perfect marriage of links style design and desert golf. Crafted by legendary golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., this course is widely considered one of the best tests of golf in the valley.
