Contactless Club Card Loyalty Program

We have taken some steps to help transition into an almost contactless world as it regards to our loyalty program
and how our card holders can claim and redeem their points.

Click the app icon for a step by step outline to help explain how you can claim your point for your round and
how you can redeem your reward once you reach 10 rounds played.

COVID-19 Individual Cart Policy 5/29/20

Beginning June 1st, we will begin charging a $20 fee for the use of individual carts. We have a limited number of carts available and have done our best to accommodate everyone’s request to have their own cart. There are many that arrive in the same vehicle and ask for individual carts, possibly leaving the person who really needs a single cart without one.  Please help us to assure that those who really need a single cart will have that option. All Covid-19 related cart fees will be donated to aid relief efforts.  We appreciate your understanding.

COVID-19 Update 3/23/20

According to the latest Arizona Executive Order(3/23/20) golf courses can remain open for play. We want to make sure that we provide the safest environment possible for our guests and have taken the following precautions.

— All bunker rakes have been removed
— All cups are now upside down and flag sticks are not to be removed from hole.
— Ball washers on each tee box have been covered and are not to be used.
— As of 3/30/20 all water jugs will be removed from the golf course.
— Mobile payment options for tee times are available online or via GolfPay.
— Our driving range will remain open and we will be utilizing the entire width to give you more space.
— Outside staff is sanitizing carts before and after each round.
— DC Bar & Grill is able offer drinks and carry out orders.

We will still be able to offer drinking water at the club house but we ask that you come prepared with your own drinking water/water bottles. With the shortages on paper products we may not be able to properly stock our facilities on the golf course and ask that you bring any paper material you may need.

Thank you for your continued support!

COVID-19 Update 3/17/20

The health of our guests and our staff is extremely important to us. In an ongoing effort to keep all of us healthy and informed, we want to be proactive in providing some information and addressing the concern for the spread of the Corona-virus disease (COVID-19). The staff at Desert Canyon Golf Club and DC Bar & Grill is closely monitoring the situation, including the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) and other Federal and State authorities.

We want everyone to feel welcome and safe while visiting Desert Canyon GC and DC Bar and Grill. Both golf and restaurant staff have increased the use of commercial cleaners on all heavily trafficked surfaces. Our golf carts will continue to be power washed, properly wiped down and new disposable steering wheel covers have been ordered and will be placed on each cart for a new round.

To stay safe and continue to practice social distancing we recommend you only reserve starting times in even numbers to avoid being paired in a golf cart with someone you don’t know. If you’d like to avoid using our credit card processing machines or handle cash, you have the option to prepay your starting times online at our website and GolfPay is also an option to check in and pay for your round from your mobile phone

Desert Canyon GC and DC Bar & Grill will remain open during this challenging and unprecedented time. We will continue to monitor the situation and send out updates as they become available.

Sincerely,

Martin Ort

General Manager
