Mountain View at Desert Willow Golf Resort
Rating Snapshot
About
The second of two Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry designs at Desert Willow resort in Cathedral City, Mountain View is a little shorter (6,913 yards) and boasts wider fairways than the Firecliff Course.
There are also half as many bunkers as at Firecliff. Which still means there are 98 here.
Still, water comes into play more on Mountain View. The course name is no misnomer either. Golfers actually do get great views of the Santa Rosa Mountains as they take on Hurdzan's desert landscaping. This is resort golf with real nature touches.

Challenging course in great condition for a great value
Great course for the value. Beautiful condition. Only complaint was pace of play, just stuck behind a very amateur group that probably wasn’t ready for this type of course. Just unlucky. Marshall’s we’re out pushing them as much as they could. But they also were having a bee infestation happening on a lot of holes. Bees swarming the bunkers and other area. And these bees were massive. Not aggressive, just actives not too bad of a nuisance if you weren’t in the sand lol. And they had bee keepers addressing the problems on some holes they are definitely aware. Overall great course. Will definitely play again!
Beautifully landscaped
A super course in fab condition with enough challenges without being impossible for the average club golfer.
Great condition, great staff
This course is outstanding value. Really good condition for summer—probably better than just about any SoCal muni, which is impressive considering that this is the desert. Staff is very courteous and helpful. Low green fees are well worth it if you can stand the midday heat—although they have ice and water every few holes. Pace of pay during midday is blazing fast. I went out solo and finished under 3 hours.
Course Review: Desert Willow
The golf course was in extremely great condition. It was worth the money at the posted rate.
On another note, Teeoff needs to reduce green fee rates for the desert courses in the Coachella area as they, as a whole, are not in great condition for the money. So far there are hardly any people oh the courses after 11:00am due to high heart and prices Teeoff is offering.
Played SilverRock today and it was not worth the money as it was dry and being worked on,.
Mountain View
Played this course many times on trips to the area.
Nicer than some of the Private Courses played.
Always provide Premier Customer Service.
Poor greens
While the course was in good condition, the greens had been sanded and were either burnt out or had some sort of disease. Putting was complete luck.
Great experience
First class all throughout this facility. Fantastic layout, friendly staff. Definitely play again. The only thing that prevented 5 stars on the conditions were the greens were patchy in some areas.
Horrible greens conditions
The rest of the golf course is in great shape. Unfortunately the most important part of the course which are the greens are in dire need of TLC. We played the Mountain side on 06/21/22. Save ur money and played else where
Overall good but greens in rough shape
Love the course but looks like the greens have been hit hard by the heat and maybe some poor green maintenance because the rest of the course is in great shape
