Mountain View at Desert Willow Golf Resort

Had not played in a few months and wanted to start our golf vacation with nice course with a moderate challenge. The mountain course is the perfect start for any golf vacation and the location is great.

Course needs some tender loving care. Greens very slow and barely average condition. Firecliff is the alternate course and is much better.

A picture perfect golf course!. Everything in order:

Challenging-yes , Fun - Yes, , all landscaping as perfect as Disneyland -type gardens-Yes. The only thing lacking was the refreshment stand was closed on the 9th tee. We would definitely return.

This is a must do course although it is pricey the layout is great and fun to play. They have great practice facilities and the overall experience is awesome for every golfer. Stay for a meal the patio is a wonderful location with great food and spectacular view of the 9th and 18th green.

This course is great the greens are great and getting close to seasonal speed. The overall course is really fun and has lots of great visuals on each hole. I would play it again although the price is fairly pricey.

If you have time grab a bite on their patio which has a great view of the 9th and 18th green.

Fabulous course in great shape. Challenging and fair. Greens were a little slow, but expected for this time of year.

A don’t miss stop if you are in the Palm Springs Area.

Terrific course, great layout, highly manicured with lost of sand protecting the greens. The greens are predictable with lots of undulations. I recommend this course, a great example of excellent valley golf.

Bisbises the classic course thus is the best. Course condition excellent. Up and down and water and sand. Lots of variety

Staff professional and on top of it thanks. Alan

I have played Desert Willow previously and was looking forward to showing how great a course it was to our friends. I was disappointed and embarrassed at the course conditions. The fairways were burnt in a lot of places and the greens were very bumpy and long. I don't think I'll be booking this course for a long time. Very disappointed

The entire facility is 1st class. From the range to the course, you will not be disappointed with this club. They are very organized with a starter and a full range. Several of the bunkers were being worked on which was the only negative. The course is in tip top condition for being at the end of the summer in Palm Desert.

Played the Blues (6507/71.5/128) in 4H, 20M. Thanks to DW for having us out! After a nice lunch, went out for 18 more with Roarsown1, Adigitalg87 & Rudyclub. Robert, Gus and Tim are excellent guys to play with! The weather was breezy, clear, muggy and around 100... the heat was affecting us all by the final 9 of the day!

from tee to green, Mountain View was in almost as good of condition as the immaculately maintained Firecliff course we played in the morning. First thing we noticed was that the tees/fairways were mowed closer. However, the greens were a huge step down from Firecliff.

The Bermuda tees were mostly lush with only the par 3 tees needing divot repair.

The lush Bermuda fairways had very few unfixed divots. They were firm and provided a decent amount of roll.

The ball generally sat up in the Bermuda rough and playing even longer clubs was a viable option. Also good to chip out of around the greens.

The traps were nicely maintained with good quality sand.

The greens were disappointing. Medium slow and bumpy, not nearly as good as Firecliff. I did notice that they seem to be in the process of changing the shape of and expanding several greens.

The customer service has been superb every round I have played here. Drink cart out making the rounds & complementary range balls are included with your round on a very nice practice facility. Lunch in between rounds got high marks from everyone, the quantity and quality was excellent.

This is a challenging course that is not quite as tough or picturesque as it's sister Firecliff course, but it's still an excellent course overall. I enjoy the layout and look forward to playing here again. Definitely recommend this course.

Good course; however, the Firecliff course is a better course. Would recommend that one over the Mountain course
