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.

Nice place

Great staff and nice course. The back 9 was more challenging than the front 9. Many tee box options depending you level of play. Good practice facilities. I wish the practice green was more representative of the greens on the course. The practice green was very hilly and undulating and not easy to find flat lies.
