Firecliff at Desert Willow Golf Resort

Weather was nice and the course was in great shape. Can’t wait to play it again.

What a gorgeous wonderful course. We’ll be back! Not one bad thing to say!

I really liked this course as the holes all had character but didn’t penalise you unfairly. The Canadian lad I played with and I both had great front nines. Unfortunately, we caught up with other players on the back nine which slowed us down quite a bit. Never mind, a good game of golf on a very nice course.

I have played this course several times throughout the year. It is always breathtaking in its beauty. The course is definitely resort-course style, very playable for all abilities, interesting, varied, and by its design is very secluded with many fairways seemingly tucked away on their own. In the heat of the summer, there are ample drinking water outlets. But the real bonus is the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, from valet to pro shop to bar and restaurant, the great clubhouse facilities, and luxurious locker rooms including showers.

Excellent condition and on par with Indian Canyons. Greens were a little slow. As the location is further away from the mountains it can get rather windy. But overall would play again. Not much difference from sister course Mountainview

Simply said, beautiful course. My husband and I booked this through Golf Now, got paired up with another twosome at the course and had a great round. The staff was great, the course layout made it fair for any level of play and a couple water hazards were well placed to jump up and bite you off the tee if you didn’t know they were there and I didn’t, lol. Seriously, we’re both single digit handicaps and this course, even for the price, would be a must play for us if we came back to the valley. It’s expensive but it’s well worth the price to play this valley gem. I couldn’t get enough pics.

After playing a bad track nearby, this was heaven. Visually pretty. Great condition. Fabulous bar and restaurant overlooking 9th and 18th greens.

Desert Willow has been on our Desert Tour list since 2005 and is a must play..Course conditions are always excellent. Staff and services are top notch

We loved the Mountain course. We were booked at Firecliff but we had an issue booking with GolfNow. We booked a tee time at Firecliff through GolfNow, showed up but they said our tee time was half an hour later. We would never have booked that time because we wouldn’t have been able to finish the round. Luckily, Desert Willow offered us a time on the Mountain course. GolfNow does not offer assistance with this issue on their website so had to write this review here. The Desert Willow golf experience was awesome...the GolfNow experience not so much.

Very nice course, and lots of actual desert willow. Very nicely landscaped and greens were around 9 - 10 on the stemp.

Pace of play was extremely poor. No Marshall was seen and we waited up to 15-20 minutes on the last 7 holes

Front 9 played at a great pace. Back 9 backed up all the way. One hole had theee groups waiting. No marshall on the course.

Fantastic course, very women friendly and great scenery. Generous driving lanes, greens in great condition and the course is alway in impeccable shape. Restaurant/bar closes early so late afternoon finishes require a trip to a different venue if you want to commiserate after a round. Very nice pro shop with great selection of the latest fashion for men and women

Rode the Purple tees (6676/72.1/136) in 4H, 20 on dawn patrol using Forelinx. Paired with Joey, Lou and Mike, all visiting Canadians. The weather was clear, fairly calm and around 75.

Playing conditions were excellent bording on immaculate across the board.

The tees were very nice. Lush and level with few divots.

The fairways are lush, firm and really nice to play from.

The rough is lush and mowed down. Good POP rough, not overly penal. Really nice to chip from.

The waste bunkers were firm and not as well maintained as the greenside traps. The greenside traps had good quality sand and were very nicely maintained.

The greens putted medium fast bordering on fast. Smooth and firm, I had 4-6' coming back AD.

Customer Service always excellent here from when you drop your clubs off out front to when you pick them up out front. Drink cart out making the rounds several times. Good GPS on carts. Plenty of ice/water stations on the course. The all grass driving range is included and above average. Nice practice chipping area. Highly recommended, one of my favorite courses in the Palm Springs area, .

Superb conditions and beautiful layout. challenging course. miss the fairway and your in some thick grass which can be difficult to advance the ball along way. mainly because you will most likely have a uphill/downhill/side hill lie.

Apparently this course is regularly booked up, so expect to be waiting a little more than usual, we played on a Wednesday.

Practice facility and clubhouse are top notch.

I had heard good things about Desert Willow and on this particular golf trip we put both courses into the rotation. Needless to say it lived up to the hype. The Greens were immaculate. The course layout is great with different things catching your eye on each hole.

We'll definitely be going back.
