Mountain View at Desert Willow Golf Resort

Mountain course at DW is one of our favorites and it is in good condition. One has to drive through new construction near the new Westin between several holes, which detracts from the overall effect. Pace of play was good. It is still a beautiful course.

I played this course on November 1st and 2nd and it was a great experience. Although the course is challenging, the wide fairways are giving a chance to all kinds of golfers. The pace of play was good, played the course, both days in 4h20.
I definitely recommend that course. It's a little expensive but if you play twilight it's worth the price.

came to play, the course placed 2 foursomes of beginners with rental clubs ahead of us. some holes we waited 32 minutes to play. when called the marshall he gave us a lot of attitude and said "i can't put a gun to there head". All we wanted was him to politely say please hurry up the pace of play.

Found course pro "Ryan" to have a lot of attitude when we mentioned the slow play after the round. The basic answer was too bad we don't value your business. I come down here 6 weeks a year and will never play this course or recommend it after the attitude received from the course pro and marshall! There 20 year old kids running the place and don't understand customer service.

I use to play this course a lot and ever since they expanded the resort it seems they load the course up with too many groups in order to gain as much revenue as possible.

Beautiful course and in great condition. Staff was great! Worth the money. This course will challenge your game.

Played 14 holes before it got dark. Excellent value. $70 for 18 holes. The couple we were playing with were very slow. Probably could have got in a few more holes.

Starter offers electronic pagers to call each group to the tee-box. Beautiful course layout. No noticeable homes, you feel secluded from habitation. Very good practice area, nice pro-shop. Would definitely return.

Our second trip to this area. From the 1st trip, we picked the Greg Norman ( PGA West )...this second trip puts Desert Willow right up there with the Norman course. Very good practice area....unique "pager" is given to all golfers for a notification of tee time position. Very enjoyable experience.

Beautiful course and playable for a high handicapper like me. Didn't like the mowing and blowing on the back nine while we were playing. Made it difficult to breathe and very distracting.

From the moment you arrive to the time you depart, staff takes good care of you. Good service curbside, pro shop, dining, etc. The courses at Desert Willow are always in great condition. Sometimes the rounds can get quite long ..... 5 hrs .... but not this time of year.

Great experience from beginning to end. Staff was courteous and friendly. Range facilities were great and never felt pushed. As if we could tee off whenever we felt ready. GPS and on course amenities were also very well maintained. We would recommend this course as a wonderful experience and good value.

This course, along with its sister course Firecliff, is a favorite golf stop for us when visiting the desert. Picturesque, it summons skills for every facet of the game, offering a complete golf experience. I have never played this course when it was not in excellent shape and clearly the staff takes pride in its appearance. The wide fairways are forgiving but don't expect to be let off the hook entirely. Bunkers and water hazards are there to keep you in line. I would always include this course in my itinerary. You can find less expensive courses to play, but the Willow Desert courses offer more than most for the money.

First course of our trip to Palm Springs and we said if there all like this will have no complaints. Greens were tricky to read but course was great and staff were friendly

paired up with a grand father and his grandson who smoked pot during the round.

The course sets up for ball placement and strategic golf course management versus your pound the ball mentality. For me, it was all that was asked for as I knew it would challenge my game. Having short iron control is a plus. Pin placement wasn't difficult. The multi tiered greens were a challenge. Great experience!

Great course in great shape with excellent staff. Good pace of play; they don't load the course.

Played here 30th August excellent from start to finish,staff very friendly.Course in really good condition.It was millionaires golf no one in front or behind.

Open to the eye but the traps are waiting ... course stretches your game... a great place to play.

I've played Desert Willow several times. It is ALWAYS in great shape. We played in the afternoon to get a $27 rate and there was no one in front of or behind us. One of the prettiest courses I know of and an outstanding value for the cheap summer rates. They provide a cooler, towels, and free water at the start and there are many ice machines and more water along the course which makes summer play very enjoyable (even in the hottest part of the day). Wish I had booked more days here instead of trying other inferior courses...

Pretty typical desert layout with some challenging holes.

Staff is great and course is in its usual great shape. I would have given it 5 stars but the greens are very slow. Seems to be a challenge with most of the courses here in the desert right now.
