Firecliff at Desert Willow Golf Resort

Course was in great shape due to the overseeding. Only complaint about the course quality was the greens were really slow.

Pace overall sucked, no marshals on the course to do anything about it.

Unfortunately we could only get out in the afternoon and we’re unable to finish 18 holes before dark. We tried to get on earlier but it was very busy.

Firethorn had just been reseeded and was in great shape. Scenery is spectacular and the course well manicured. No tricks here - the golf course is tight in front of you the whole way. John Cook (Cookie as Lanny Wadkins says) did a nice job consulting with the architects.

For a municipal course this was great. We played the second day after overseeding and conditions were excellent. Bunkers could have had more sand and more difficulty. The course is straight forward and good for both lower handicap and higher handicap players. Water features added interest and some challenge to the holes. Scenery was beautiful as was the clubhouse. I would definitely recommend this course.

I had the opportunity to play the Firecliff course on Oct 23 first round in the morning just after opening from over-seeding. Absolutely stunning course and very well manicured. 10 out of 10 experience from the time I dropped my bag off to finishing up on the 19th hole.

I have no criticism, but would love to play the course again once the greens are cut low and rolled out and faster. Too 5 all time golf experiences today. Thanks foe the opportunity

First several holes had a great pace, after 6th hole it was backed up. 2-3 groups on tee box

Rough was very high and piles of grass clippings making it very difficult to get out of. Greens were OK- had a lot of rough spots and dead spots- hard to get a good read on the speed.

We showed up 20 minutes late because of a traffic jam. They set us up with a later time and helped us out. Super friendly staff!!

Rode the Purple tees (6676/72.1/136) in 4H twilight on a GN "Hot Deal". Played with Joe, Don and Craig, nice guys to play with. Hazy, breezy and around 105.

Tees mostly lush and level with few divots.

Fairways lush and good to play from.

Rough very lush. The ball sat up, not overly penal except it cost you roll and usually good to chip out of.

Greenside traps had good quality sand and were decently maintained. Just too thin. Waste bunkers were firm and not as well maintained as the greenside traps.

Large greens very disappointing. Late summer bumpy Bermuda, they putted medium speed and were firm. You had to play for rollout.

Customer Service always excellent here from when you drop your clubs off out front to when you pick them up after the round. No Drink Cart today. Ice/water stations every few holes. Nice GPS on upgraded carts that have ports for electronics. The all grass driving range is included and is excellent with a nice practice chipping area. Excellent and very fun layout to play. Recommended, IMO the best public course in the Palm Springs area. Just not in as good of shape as it usually is.

I was shocked to find out this is a municipal course. The course was in great shape considering the weather. There were high winds last night and the grounds keepers were hard at work restoring the course. Overall I had a great time ! I would certainly play again.

We were paired up with a husband and wife who sprayed the ball a bit. After 5 holes we both received a message on our cart that we were behind pace of play. On tee box number 6 a staff member brought us wet towels because of the heat. The real reason was to tell us to speed up because we were behind pace. From that point on the couple we were paired up with started to play best ball. The group behind us was a threesome, so they were going to catch us. I know all about pace of play, but it was unfair to send a staff member to tell us to speed up. Won’t be back.
