Great short game practice in a great golf environment.

Willow does a great job switching up distances to hit 9-60 degree wedges! Course is always cut and in great condition for the time of year.

I would recommend an executive par three course for short game fine tuning at least 1 time a month.

Desert Willow provides a ton of fun and some challenges in the mix.

Nice executive course

Mostly short par 3’s but greens in good condition and slightly fast. Lots of bunkers with decent sand. Golfers need to repair divots and ball marks. Pace of play good despite groups every 10 minutes

Greens to Fast

These greens are the fastest in the whole valley

This is the second time I am providing this information on a review regarding the fast greens on this course The course manager needs to wake up and understand people like me are not going to go out of their way to play on a course that has small greens with Fast speed. Hello wake up Desert Willows Managers, you are Totally out of place compared to every course in the Las Vegas area. Also, it is very obvious pace of play would be faster if the grieves were slower considering 95% of the people who play this course our shooting 25 over par or more on this executive type course.

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.

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."
