Firecliff at Desert Willow Golf Resort

Course is in great shape, excellent staff, fabulous layout. The problem is the clubhouse closes at 5:00. They need to stay open for an after golf drink and a bite to eat.

My only issue, is closing the dinner and bar at 5 pm, makes no sense, always open in prior years…we like to dine at the course after playing…

What a gem. One of the top courses I’ve ever played. Conditions just immaculate. Can’t wait to come back.

I didn't get the full round in because slower players ahead of us

This is our 7th season being snow birds January through March in Palm Desert and the Desert Willow Firecliff Course is still a favorite. The Mountain Course is also amazing! Both courses are prestigious, the views are amazing and the staff is top notch! We also enjoy sitting on their patio for cocktails and a meal any time of the day whether golfing or not!

What a pleasure to play this course again! I have played a bunch of very good courses this month but this one was in impeccable condition! The fairways were so firm that it was easy to get good backspin on wedge shots.
I liked the greens- challenging but fair. Once you got the speed of them you could really score.

I say all of this in comparison to one of my favorite courses, the PGAWest Mountain course which is an unplayable mess right now - mud pits from past flooding, greens as hard as rock, closed range, no gps or ball washers - what a real disappointment!
Save your money and go play Firecliff!!

One of the best around. Great staff, course was in good shape., Will for sure play again. Will need a few more birdies to get a low round in.

This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing courses I’ve ever played
The numerous sand traps complimented by large water hazards all combined to make for a challenging round of golf
The fairways were immaculate and the greens rolled true. The staff was very helpful and friendly
I had a wonderful day

Course was excellent as always. Only drawback was condition of the greens. Played late on a Saturday so that explains some of the issue. Overall, great golf course

Played Firecliff after overseeding, but I am not dinging it for course conditions. The pace of the round was fine on the front, but slowed down quite a bit on the back nine. Playing with a discounted rate, the course is still overpriced for what you get. I know some must love the place, but location is about all I really like about it. Probably my last time unless I see a really good rate pop up in the future.

Very pretty landscaping. The marshaller did a good job ofmoving the slow foursome in front of us.

The course was in excellent condition and was very fun to play. Staff was friendly. Carts had GPS which was great. Carts also had club and ball washers. The only downside was the play felt rushed. We had a late tee time 2:20 and didn't know how many holes we would get through. Even though we were playing well within the 15 minutes per hole alloted, if felt like the people behind us were rushing to see how many holes they could get in. There was a three some behind us, a couple and a single. The single broke off and wanted to play through, so we let him. Then the double behind our foursome was pushing us, so we let them play through. We are average golfers and just don't like the feel of being rushed when we were keeping up with the rate of play.
