Mountain View at Desert Willow Golf Resort

On October 8th the price of this course goes way up to $160 US and especially for us Canadians it becomes far too pricey for this public course. Over the last 5 years have not seen any one day deals at all for this course. This is still a lovely course and enjoyable to play, however, the practice facilities were closed and have been closed most times we have been here which means no warm up. Still all in all, beautiful!

This is a lovely public course to play but becomes extremely expensive for Canadians when the season starts here on Monday October 8th. We will definately not be playing at their season rates as it will be an additional 30% exchange rate. Even without the exchange, still far too pricey. Well over $200 CA and as far as I can tell over the last 5 years they offer no single day deals or promotions which is unfortunate.

Today was my first time at Desert Willow Mountain View. The staff was courteous and very welcoming. Teed off a bit early than my 11:25 tee time, since it was wide open. The course was in excellent condition. Greens rolled true. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. The layout is very forgiving. Overall I had a great time playing here. I’m actually going to play it again tomorrow. One downside was the driving was closed for overseeding.

The course was in nice shape … and am glad I played it...

Near the Top of my List.

Course was in fantastic condition Tee to Green on all holes and it's mid September

The greens are slow but pure Don't over read the breaks with the speed

Hazards are more to test your nerve than challenging

Lots of Bunkers but never hit one of them

Generous Fairways

Played the Lavender Tees 6128 yards Slope 122 Rated 69.4

People were amazing

Beautiful views

Got lucky and played with an incredible couple from San Fran Dave and Lynn they played Match play and he gave her 3 strokes They were amazing to play with You could draw her ball flight with a ruler

Gotta add to your must play list when in the area.

Rode the Purple tees (6507/71.2/128) in 2H, 45M twilight. The weather was sunny, calm and around 110.

Firecliff is usually is better playing condition than Mountain View, but not today.

The Bermuda tees were lush and nice to play from. Level with few divots.

The Bermuda fairways were lush.

The Bermuda rough was mowed low, is lush and generally good to play from. Good thing it's low, because it is thick Bermuda.

The sand traps were decently maintained but were too thin for my taste.

The Bermuda greens putted medium speed and were smooth and firm. Nice!

Excellent customer service on every visit here. Plenty of water/ice stations on the course. Nice GPS on carts. No drink cart person out this afternoon. Nice all grass driving range with a good chipping area & practice green. Fun layout to play, definitely recommended.

Great conditions. Excellent test. Greens putted very well. Good deal through GolfNow

Great course! Beautiful to the eyes. Fairways and greens in excellent condition. Pace of play a little slow today.

Staff were friendly. Played the combo tees which was challenging and fair. I will be back.

Loved the course layout, very fair. Its not overly challenging for the better golfer. Its in really good condition for this time of year. The staff was really friendly as well. This is a really good option if you are in the area.

Played during a heat wave, temp was 111. The course was in excellent condition, greens were well kept, fairways were great with minimal burnout from the heat which is expected. Played in 3 hr 15 min without any other golfer within 6 holes. The fairways are open and even with a hook or slice, wide enough you can play out of the rough. Your cart comes with a cooler and there is an ice and water machine at every restroom on the course. This was great to keep us cool. Highly recommend playing this course.

Rode the Purple tees (6507/71.2/128) in 3H, 15M twilight. The weather was sunny, fairly calm and 109. Conditions across the board were not as solid as when I played here a month ago, but still decent.

The Bermuda tees were lush and Very nice to play from. Level with few divots.

The Bermuda fairways are mostly lush. There are some thin spots where the winter rye has died off and the Bermuda is still taking back over. Same for the Bermuda rough.

The sand traps were decently maintained with thick sand.

The Bermuda greens putted medium speed and were firm. However, they were much bumpier than i remember from previous visits here.

Excellent customer service on every visit here. Nice GPS on carts. No drink cart person this afternoon. Nice all grass driving range with a good chipping area & practice green. Definitely recommended.

Desert golf in the Summer is usually hot but not humid. Today in what felt like a steam room we teed off before 7am. Course conditions and especially greens couldn't have been better. Mountainview is the shorter of the two courses at Desert Willow Palm Desert but it is plenty challenging. Just enough water to challenge golfers anxious to get there in two but you better hit 'em straight. I lost 2-3 balls, had two blow up holes but still managed to break 100! Gps, club/ball cleaner onboard and convenient bathrooms with ice/water refill contribute to the great value. The cart girl was very attentive as well. Don't miss playing here.

Desert Willow was in great condition and challenging what we wanted

Thank tou
