This was a great course to learn and work on your irons. The range was well laid out and you could tell there's an effort to keep this place up. I will be here again whenever I visit Las Vegas.

Marshal needs to address issues

We were playing and some young kids came out on the course and started jumping holes and eventually jumped in front of two groups (Us being one of them) We ended up leaving before finishing because it created a huge logjam. Pretty disappointing!

Sexist staff

This is a wonderful course to work on your short game. Unfortunately, the staff is quite sexist and ageist. From the management on down, they seem to go out of their way to treat women as less than the men that play here. They are rude and condescending to women. They do their best to discriminate against women and make them so uncomfortable that they don't play here. The pace of play is ridiculous for such a short course. The grumpy, drunk men are hack golfers who play very slowly.

New Favorite Course

My 24 year old son just started playing golf three months ago and we have been playing a different course once a week. We are visiting family in the Las Vegas area and chose Desert Willow to play this week. Amazing layout, great price, beautiful views, greens in good shape. We highly recommend this course - especially for beginners and golfers who want to work on their short game. We will be back here again - hopefully soon.

Starter was a complete jerk

I have never played golf and had the starter / course manager treat our group like he was doing us a favor by letting us play. He was more concerned about getting us off the course by 4:30 than making sure we had an enjoyable experience. We were off the course at 4:30 and driving our carts to our cars to unload the bags when we heard him yelling at us "It's 4:30" like a complete jerk.

We will look to play other courses first in the future and play Desert Willow as a last resort

Great course for beginners

We had a great time playing this course. We just started playing this year and were visiting from WA. Got matched up with a nice local couple, Chuck and Tressa, who were fun and super friendly. The Par 3-4 holes were not too hard and the greens were perfect. Can't wait to come back to Vegas to play there again.
