Mountain View at Desert Willow Golf Resort
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Course was in great shape for this time of year with the extreme heat . All the employees were very helpful and went out of their way to make sure my experience was great . Will be back to play the course again real soon
Great Course.
This course is amazing! Definitely will be returning sooner than later! There was a lot of water stations which is greatly appreciated can’t wait to play again!
Top Notch Course
Excellent course for all levels of play. Five tee locations make it possible to set any level of difficulty desired.
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.
Desert Wilows Mountain Course
Good course, plenty of room on the fairways and lots of tee box options for all skill levels. Staff was friendly and efficient. Would recommend
Beautiful course, friendly staff and reasonably priced.
Some of the fairways were being aerated but the course still played fast and was well groomed. Pace of play was quick…sub 4 hour round at 8am tee time.
This is one of the most beautiful and well kept public course in Southern California. The pace of play was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The course is kept in great shape year round including the summer. They have a great practice area. The only thing I would suggest is to have a bunker practice area. We played the Mountain View course. They also have a great restaurant with a beautiful of the course.
