Great except for...

No matter what time you are scheduled to tee off, the starter always sends golfers out early, which causes waiting at every hole. It's so frustrating!

Good course for working with your irons

I needed to work on my mid course with irons, this is the perfect course for me. I just wish I had been aware of the club house being under renovation. I also would like to thank whom ever found my 7 iron and returned it to the shop. I was starving and the cart girl had one bag of

trail mix. Other than that, I shot well.

The course is in great shape. They do a very good job. Pace of players. Great greens are an excellent shape and the bunkers have lots of sand and are well-maintained.

Fun morning

Great course, in really good shape. The staff is kind. And very helpful. The snack area doesn't open till 9 a.m., so take some water with you for early t-time. The man taking care of carts let us have his bottle of water. I thought that was above and beyond. It is a par 3 course and pace was fast. We played 18 holes in 3 hrs.

Great Par 3 and then some!

I just moved to the area and I used to really enjoy playing a par 3 9 hole course in my area and was hoping to find something similar when I moved here. Desert Willow is the PERFECT upgrade from what I came from. I love the 18 hole short course where the greens and fairways are very well kept. Overall very affordable for 18. Extremely fun. Great course management and staff. Will be coming back quite a bit. I already booked my next tee time.

Great executive course

The staff are excellent and the set up is great. The course is fun and forces you to sharpen your short game. Always have to play this before other courses in the area.
