Great course
This course is beautiful and pure. We were impressed in every aspect from the time we puled up till the time we finished on the 18th and left. The conditions were a little windy which did affect our shots at time's but the course itself was awesome!! The carts were plush and the GPS was pretty accurate. This course (Firecliff) is challenging especially if its your first time playing here but the views, the friendliness of the staff and the pureness of the fairways , greens make you feel special just to be able to play such a course. Highly recommend this course and I cannot wait to return!!

Great course in the middle of the valley and across the street from the JW MARRIOTT. You can’t go wrong with either of the 2 courses.

Always a Favorite
Our group plays this course every year. It is always in very good shape. The greens were a little grainy this year as they are getting ready for the winter season, but the fairways are great and bunkers have "good" sand. LOL. We always put this course on our list.

Firecliff at Desert Willow
This is my 2nd round at this course. Right now it’s off season and the value can’t be beat providing one can tolerate playing in 110 degree weather. It’s a beautiful course and exceptionally well maintained, If you’re in the area and looking for a great deal on a beautiful course don’t miss this. Wouldn’t be surprised if the rates add another $100 in season. Hoping to play the Mountainview tract before rates climb but I’d pay the full freight cause it’s worth it. Beautiful course.
