Firecliff at Desert Willow Golf Resort

Excellent condition with some unique and varied hole layouts. Amenities are excellent. Practice and warm up facilities are very good, but they do seem to allow chipping practice on the practice putting green even though the chipping green is adjacent. Staff are efficient but not genuinely friendly, just well trained. 4 :40 hr round with considerable wait time and no Marshall all day. Beverage cart came by 30 minutes after last round announced via GPS unit which meant 3 1/2 hours into our round. However water stops are available at appropriate intervals.

I would never pay full fare here it’s just not that outstanding

This course was in super shape when we played and while the greens weren’t lightning quick, they were decently fast and rolled very true, Course conditions were immaculate and service at the course was great. Would recommend this course over the Mountain View course as this course had a more interesting layout and hole variety. Would play this course again for sure.

Wow, loved this course from its lush forgiving fairways to its secluded private layout. The customer service was impressive from bag drop to pro shop and got to meet the Head Professional Ryan who took the time to make my group feel welcome. Can’t say enough about how good this place is! It’s a must play if you’re in the Palm Springs area!

Course was in amazing condition and loved the layout. Challenging but very fair and fun. Pace of play was only issue as course was packed. Bound to happen with such a busy track. Patio closed at 5:45 so no after round beers or food. Kind of a bummer.

If I had paid the rack rate for an out of area golfer I would have been very disappointed with the golfing conditions. While the course is beautifully laid out in pristine desert conditions with lush fairways and greens, it was very difficult to score on because there was very little roll on the fairways and the greens were slow.

This is a bargain for Palm Desert residents paying the local rate, but as visitor, I have played other courses in the area at an affordable rate but as well kept with friendlier fairways and better greens.

It seems like keeping the grass looking great

is more important than the golfing experience.

The round took over 5 hours to play. No rangers around to speed up play. Great course but I will not be back

This was my first time at Firecliff. I was a bit late arriving because Google Maps could not find the course. They were very nice and valeted my car at no charge. They got me checked in and straight to the tee....all while being very helpful and nice.

The course conditions were excellent. Lush fairways, beautiful greens and an amazing mountain background. I had two minor complaints...the bunkers appeared not to have been tended to this morning, but they were still very nice. My second minor complaint was the green speed. I will start with the fact that I teed off at 7:00 AM, so there was a lot of moisture on the greens, but even after they dried out they were a bit slow. Having said that, they putted true and were in excellent condition.

All in all, this is a great golf course with amazing scenery, a great club house and amazing staff. I will play here every time I visit Palm Springs.

I really enjoyed this track. It’s a fair course with great views .

From the time you drive into the parking lot you will love your experience at Desert Willow. Staff is fantastic, course is beautiful and challenging and in great shape.

Played Firecliff on a weekday. Place was pretty busy but pace of play was not bad. This is a very interesting layout. Great variety of holes. Well maintained.

The 9th and 18th closed the deal...impressive, you must have a great, approach shot to score, great set up with bunkers in play, will play it again!!! Recommend

Greens putted a little slow. Fore some in front of us were very slow. Thought ranger should of been out on the course moving them along . Overall course was in great shape. Would definitely play it again
