Mountain View at Desert Willow Golf Resort

Liked the course layout. Course was pretty chewed up though. Greens really brown and beat up. Expected better. Played behind a couple of groups which were clearly some sort of a guys trip given the ridiculous matching clothes they were wearing. Unfortunately they showed zero respect for anyone playing behind them. Group after group after group behind us quit. We were on over a 5 hour pace and we finally gave up at #17. Course Marshall showed up for the first time on hole 15. Stage was very courteous and polite in spite of everything. Great food and restaurant. Amenities were top shelf.

Played Desert Willow for the first time and enjoyed the course. The good; nice course layout, wide fairways and the right mix of bunkers and water hazards and slope. Friendly staff.

The bad; overbooked tee times and too many late arrivals that pushed back tee times and jammed up the pace of play with 2-3 groups waiting on some holes. This is frustrating when it's 95 degrees and you're waiting on every hole.

My two cents, would play again but I expect better tee time management.

Mountain View was in great shape. Love always playing at Desert Willow. Highly recommend the facility.

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.
