Desert Willow Golf Course

Head of the club who was marshaling the day I played was a dick. Kept rushing everyone even though there was still a lot of time and made some really off the wall comments talking to us like we had already committed transgressions against course rules. Note that ALL the other staff except this head honcho are very nice.

Brought the family here from out of town to play golf while in town on vacation because of the reviews for a relaxed golf environment welcoming of all ages and experience. Paid for 6 to golf with rentals, carts, and two tee times. The lady behind the counter was wonderfully nice and very helpful getting us all set up. The guy at the bar while getting a few course drinks was also very helpful and nice. But that's about where the welcoming and relaxed "enjoy yourself" feeling ended. When we went to pick up our carts and clubs and they were not prepared for us and seemed more annoyed that they had to get clubs for everyone which made us behind on time. Once we got on hole one we had to wait anyways for the person ahead of us, and they ensured us not worry and just have fun. As the first four in our party golfed, the carts began to line up behind us. In and effort to not slow anyone else up, the last two in our group offered to skip the round and move up. From there on out our three carts stayed together, we golfed 4 or 5 to a round and only played best ball. "Golf security" came up to us twice in less than 9 holes to yell at us and threatened to kick us off the course for having 6 in our party. Apparently the "nothing better to do" nosey golf neighbors felt an overwhelming need to call us in for driving three carts together. Not once did we golf 6 to our party ever, a full hole, or more than 6 out of the nine holes we paid for. Course was nothing to write home about and I'll take our Midwest nice golf people any day over the "retired with nothing better to do than complain folk out here about". Not a great experience to bring my family out for what claimed to be a family friendly golf experience. I'll spend my hard earned money elsewhere.

Good course if you want to play in under 4 hours. Tough greens, and beautiful views. Good restaurant on the property for food, drinks.

Nice course. Good shape. A little expensive for executive course. The pro shop old guy was not very nice. This is a GolfPass Perks course offering 2 for 1 range balls, and free replay HOWEVER the pro shop guy flat out said NO. None of those perks he will honor. I booked early tee time to get a free replay in but NOPE. Very rude and has no idea what GolfPass is. Not will he honor any of the perks

Considering the overall layout of this executive course that has four par three’s that replace a traditional four par five’s

I think this course has potential for a fun, intermediate skill level type course and therefore should not have ultrafast greens that are slightly on the hard side that are not holding most approach shots even if they are slightly high like mine , I am a intermediate mid handicap

I think they should let the grass grow and get the greens a little softer. This will increase pace of play and improve peoples scores

I was shocked by how much fun we had. Conditions on the course were great, and for that price? How can you not love it.
