Great golf experience

A very professionally run golf experience.

From bag drop, thru check in, and thru the Bev beverage cart girl, this course impressed. Well done Desert Willow, a tip of the hat to all that make this work

Great course in immaculate conditions

Had a wonderful time today at Desert Willow

Staff was super nice

Course was in immaculate condition

Challenging holes and also like a few drivable par 4’s if you’re brave enough

Will definitely be back next time in Palm Springs

A good course for the price

I found the layout to be challenging. Lots of sand bunkers, especially in driving areas. You would think you had hit a good drive only to wind up in a bunker. Course was in pretty good shape but needed some rain. The staff wasn't very friendly. And I was surprised that there was nothing at the turn for the Resort Course. Greens were very fast. Too fast. Due to dryness I'm guessing. But chipping and putting were very frustrating.

The OG Palm Springs Course

Affordable practice round on a very straight forward course. While nothing to write home about, the greens are properly maintained and you can argue with the price.

Greens too fast.

I can play fast greens but you have to play them a few times to learn the adjustments needed. The grass was thin. It ruined the game. I wnt there to have fun Not play the Us open. Its a good course otherwise. (Resort).

Great spot

Excellent conditions from tee to green. It’s wide open, and the pace of play was good. The greens are on the small side, but they are quick and true. No GPS in the carts. Overall a great outing.
