Mountain View at Desert Willow Golf Resort

Rode the Purple tees (6507/71.2/128) in slightly less than 3H as a single on a GN Hot Deal mid day. The weather was sunny, breezy and around 110.

The Bermuda tees were mostly lush but almost all had bare spots mixed in. Level with few divots.

The Bermuda fairways are mostly lush and firm with some bare spots.

Same for the Bermuda rough, which is mowed low and not overly penal.

The sand traps were decently maintained with good quality sand. However, both greenside traps I sampled were thinner than you would prefer.

The Bermuda greens were poor. Most have bare areas and they pitted slow and bumpy. Best attribute was that they held irons well.

Excellent customer service on every visit here. Nice GPS on the carts. Plenty of ice/water stations on the course. No drink cart out in the summer. Nice all grass driving range with a good chipping area & practice green. Course is in really mediocre shape for this course. Usually much better, especially the greens. Would only play on a severely discounted green fee.

I expected more from this course based on some of the reviews. The course had no signature holes to say WOW! We played Indian Wells the day before and thought this would be at the same level. Unfortunately it was not. Save your money and for the same price play Indian Wells. You will be glad you did.

The greens were horrible. Obviously they were sanded and punched recently but I would have gone to a different course if it was disclosed. Don’t get me wrong I fully expect courses to keep up their facilities but failing to disclose the conditions truthfully and charging full seasonal rack rate is akin to stealing. Just not a good experience and was disappointing.

Overall a great course. But very slow play. Greens were worst I have ever seen

I was a single and was paired up with an amazing group of people. It's always a crap shoot on who you're gonna get in your group. I think the golf gods were smiling on me. The staff were very polite and helpful. The course was full of rolling hills and more traps than I could count, but I love a good challenge. I did however have a poor golf day and made plenty of ball contributions to the course. But the atmosphere and company made it well worth it.

Good resort course in good conditions in spite of the heat (around 110 degrees)

Played this course for the first time and it’s worth every dollar!! Great layout Greens and well position water and sand traps. Will play it again*******

What a great course always impressed when I play here the course was in great shape but the pace was very slow but I would still recommend playing it

I've played all over the world. This was a fantastic golf course. If you travel here, it's a must play.

Fabulous course conditions with enough challenge and beauty to make you want to return. Course speed was great!

I have never been to Augusta but I can’t imagine a more beautiful course.

Great condition, but I didn't love the layout. Hard to tell where to hit the drive to have a better entrance into difficult greens. Also not a good flow from one hole to the next - like riding through condo complex to get to next tee.

Course winds through vacation properties making for long drives between holes. Greens slope toward water so high approach shots are a must to hold them. Kitchen closed at 6:30 so no food available after the round. Of the 2 courses Play Firecliff.

Great course! Lots of sand so you have to be strategic with tee shots and approach shots but fairway6snd greens immaculate!!

Staff very friendly and helpful! Experience was fantastic and will add this course to must play list for each trip.

Course extremely beautiful as well!
