Having played Desert Willow Mountain View course once before in the winter, my expectations were high. It's a greet track, the staff is excellent and the course conditions were awesome. Not so much this summer.

Staff remains great, friendly, and attentive, but the course conditions were horrendous. Maintenance crews were working on probably every other hole. Every green had sustained significant damage. Bottom line, they probably ought to close the Mountain View course for about a month to get it into a playable condition.

I would play this course in the winter, but not the summer.

Although the fairways were not great in that they are inundated with multiple types of grass and weeds, the greens played true and fast. They've done a great job at maintaining the greens. The sand traps need to be worked a bit as they were pretty hard about 1/2 inch below the surface.

The overall value was excellent. I teed off with a friend at 1:20 after paying a $21 green fee (wow) and we finished at 4:45. Loved it!!
