Beautiful golf course

My wife and I played the Mountain View course for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed our day. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was a beautiful layout and the variety of tee options provided excellent choices for whatever length any golfer would want. Would definitely recommend and play this course again.

Beauty of a course

We played five courses this week. Desert Willow was my favorite!. It’s beautifully landscaped and it’s nice and wide open. It’s got challenges and yet, if played right, gives plenty of Lea way to avoid bunkers or other hazards. I’m not a great golfer, but I played great on this course!

Immaculate Condition

Desert Willow Mountain Course did not disappoint. It's in IMMACULATE shape! It's quite possibly in the best shape I've seen in the entire Coachella Valley. All Staff were exceptionally friendly. The course is very fair, and has some challenging hole. It was a wonderful day!! The one minor recommendation I would have would be to put more sand in the sand bunkers. Of course it's completely my fault to be in the bunkers! Loved this course!

Desert Willows Mountain View Course

After all the hype over the last 10 years, I finally managed to snag a single at Desert Willow. While it wasn't Firecliff, the most challenging of the 2 courses I loved the layout of Mountain View. Mostly generous fairways but with lots of potential trouble, were in beautiful condition with the first cut of rough giving som challenge. The greens are nicely located in tighter spaces with lots of bunkering making approach shots interesting. I was a bit disappointed with the greens that were a bit choppy. Overall, I liked the experience and would definitely go back.

Beautiful

Stunning course and layout, I think $200 a little steep for desert golf but the place is really nice, great range and practice area, good pace of play, hard to complain. Food / restaurant excellent as well.

Pace of play was terrible - will never play again

We quit after 3-1/2 hours, having only played 13 holes. Waited on every single shot. Never saw a marshal. Bunkers were a mixture of rocks, good sand, and no sand. As we drove to the clubhouse there was not a gap in the players. Too many tee times scheduled for the course.

Saw a regular and asked him about the pace. He said it was always like this. The saving grace he said was that it was low cost compared to other venues.
