First Time Playing

The course was as described-a local executive (par 60) course. Plenty of variety and challenge for a short course, VERY reasonable price for Vegas, and the pace of play for me at least was great. Fairways were in good shape overall, and greens were good and true. I would definitely come back.

Fun course to play

This is a fun course to play. It is an executive style course. Par 3’s and 4’s. Course was in good shape. Condition of the greens were good and fast. Beverage cart service was great. The pro shop, starter, cart and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful.

Beware, this place closes very early.

The course is fine, it is a great executive course. But if you are planning any tee time after noon be aware that this place is pulling people off the course and hour and fifteen minutes BEFORE sunset. We were told to head to the clubhouse at 3:30 yesterday. The excuse was daylight savings time was over. Sunset was at 4:45 yesterday. We were on hole 13 with a 1:20 tee time. We had plenty of time to not only play on but to finish. We were told no. Get the carts in. They wanted all staff to be finish cleaning all the carts etc. before sunset. This was not mentioned anywhere when booking and is totally not consistent with anything else in Vegas.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Maybe try again in 5 years under new management

Course itself was fine, and the one star staff rating excludes the nice lady in the pro shop who took our money and assigned us a cart - she was the only positive about the experience.

My friend and I pull up to the first tee five minutes early and the cliche starter type says we're late and the other two in our group got impatient and went ahead. He also says "Do you know the rules here?!" "Is the first rule that five minutes early is late?!?" He then proceeds to read us the riot act and other rules. We catch up to the other two in our group, a couple older ladies (more walking cliches), who seemed bewildered that two people were joining them (ladies, your coy schtick might've worked in the 60's, it's 2024 and we see right through you), and all day they're walking up to the greens and taking their three putts while we're waiting to hit our approach pitches.

One of them asks "Will you come back to our little course again?" "Only if you're here, sweetheart" That was another thing, I don't know if this place used to be private and recently opened to the public but there was a lot of "Our course" talk going on.

For the way everyone on the first tee acted you would've thought this would be the fastest round of our lives... nope. Slower than molasses. Group in front of us constantly unprepared for their shots and taking their sweet time getting back in their carts (talking about you especially, red shirt guy). The only missing cliche was a marshall telling them to keep pace. They're never there when you need them, huh? This place is one of those ok for me but not for thee courses.

I'll be back when they get acquired after "their" precious par 4 course turns into a ghost town and the old guard "ages out."

Staff closes the course whenever they want.

Posted in several locations all throughout the clubhouse that all players are to return by 5:30pm. You’re not informed until teeing off that you have to have the carts in at 4:40pm, almost a full hour before THEIR OWN posted times.

Desert Willow is in great shape

The course was in great shape yesterday. Greens were fast and fairways and around the greens were immaculate

Would highly recommend. The only thing they could do to make it better is to redo all the traps with some real sand.
