Firecliff at Desert Willow Golf Resort

Very fast greens. Visually arresting. A big step up from Indian Indian Hills - Players course, which I played the next day.

It lives up to its reputation and is worthy of its spot in the top 50 in the US. If your planning a trip to the desert out this one on the list.

exactly what you want in a winter getaway golf trip

I HAVE PLAYED MANY COURSES UP AND DOWN THE WEST COAST AND HAWAII, BUT DESERT WILLOWS FIRE CLIFF HAS TO BE NOT JUST THE TOP 10 BU ONE OF MY BEST TWO.

THE COURSE WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION BUR THE VIEWS WERE OUTSTANDING. I CAN NOT WAIT TO PLAY IT AGAIN,

We love Desert Willow and both courses. They are beautiful and well

Maintained. We wish the beautiful bar area would be open til at least 7:30 to enjoy a cocktail and view once done playing a round

Other than the pace of play this course is a winner. You can expect slow play on a resort course because of the mix of players and handicaps.

Desert Willow is one of my favorite desert tracks. Course was in fantastic shape and pace of play was Awesome! We teed off at 2:40 and finished by 7. Great layout and lots of different tees to match your skill. I'm a 7 and played the purple tees. 6600 yars. Shot 80 and enjoyed it very much! If you get a good twighliggt rate it is best deal in desert.

Superior course. Challenging but worth it.

Diniing marvelous.

Staff first rate.

Treat yourself

Terrific course but seriously how do you shut down the driving range mid day for maintenance ?! They need to come up with a better plan.

Course was in great shape. Beautiful scenery. Only negative is the game was over 4.5 hrs, the group in front very slow in the back 9 and no Marshall’s to be found to speed them up.

Great views, course is in fantastic shape, excellent patio for after golf refreshments!

Lack of rangers can make for long rounds. Group of 6 guys joined for a 6some but what can u do. Do not play the course if they are having a local event. Also, be aware that it gets dark in a very big hurry.

Played the Purple tees (6676/72.1/136) with Jake, Tommy & Andy in around 4 1/2 hours. The weather was clear and breezy, around 80. Firecliff has a beautiful layout, well above average even by the high standards of the Palm Springs area.

The tees were mostly lush with even the par 3's fairly well maintained for divots.

The over seeded fairways were very lush. Firm with a decent amount of roll.

The over seeded rough was excellent to play out of. The ball sat up and even playing longer clubs was a viable option. Immaculate, very nice to chip out of.

The traps had thick sand that was very difficult to play from. Decently maintained, rarely do I comment that the sand is too thick and deep... but these were exactly that.

The greens were firm, smooth and quick. Few ball marks and good luck on numerous pins if above the hole.

The customer service was exceptional from all encountered. The drink cart was out making the rounds & complementary range balls are included with your round on a great practice facility. Really solid course, not tight off the tee but there is plenty of trouble to avoid as your approach the greens. Numerous lakes, large deep traps and desert scape lurking just off most fairways and around most greens is a lost ball waiting to happen. Numerous fairways appear tight from the tee vantage point. However, this is much more of a grip it & rip it course than 1st impressions would indicate. I find most of the fairways are generous in width once you get out over 175 yards from the Purple tees. One of my favorite courses in the Palm Springs area, highly recommend.

Course is in good shape. Pace of play ok, not great but not overly slow. Landscaping is excellent. Each hole is attractive with views of the mountains, desert plants and flowers. A happy place to play golf.

Great course in great shape great deal on golf now
