About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6913 yards
Slope 132
Rating 73.0

The second of two Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry designs at Desert Willow resort in Cathedral City, Mountain View is a little shorter (6,913 yards) and boasts wider fairways than the Firecliff Course.

There are also half as many bunkers as at Firecliff. Which still means there are 98 here.

Still, water comes into play more on Mountain View. The course name is no misnomer either. Golfers actually do get great views of the Santa Rosa Mountains as they take on Hurdzan's desert landscaping. This is resort golf with real nature touches.

great course ... SLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW round

Great course and great company as I was a single that got paired w/ two other singles. Great guys and good golfers. And good thing too b/c we spent more than 5 hours together. Why do ppl constantly play from the wrong tees? I don't understand the value of 200+ yard approach shots on short par 4s. Just play from the correct tees ... we won't think less of you. Quite the opposite in fact.

Desert Oasis

There is a reason this course has one of the highest ratings in the area. Top notch course, even with the summer heat I was pleasantly surprised at how green and well kept it is. Staff is top notch and friendly, definitely looking forward to another round on either of their two courses.
