Westin Desert Willow Villas

The course is in great condition. Beautiful grass! Fun and challenging. The course is well maintained and the employees are very knowledgeable and very professional.

Overall nice day

Slow play

Bag drop could use improvements on arriving and after round

Directional signage could be better too

But overall nice course

I played the Mountain View Course on this day. The course was in good shape and the pace of play was roughly 3:40. The greens were a little long but the speed was good and they rolled true. Good balance of beautiful views and challenging golf. I had a little trouble reading the break on the greens, so that was part of thw challenge. The fairways appear narrow but they a pretty forgiving. With a little wind, the course played longer than it looked/measured.

Good conditions overall, greens still settling in, great scenery, good value, recommend. Great practice facilities, helpful staff, great restaurant/bar, recommend both courses. Fairways, rough and bunkers were excellent. I think they replaced the greens on both courses with a different type of grass and it's still settling in. Very firm surface but super slow pace. The green texture was like cow-licks and very frustrating surface to putt on, with very inconsistent stimp speeds. It was like putting with patches of velcro all over the green where the ball would be on line to the hole and screech to a halt around the cup. I'll be back after everything settles in.

Wide open course in good shape for summer, be sure to stay in the fairways and out of the native area. The rolling hills and valleys and uneven lies make it very challenging if you don't.

I had a great opportunity to play the Firecliff course at Desert willow the other day and to my surprise I loved everything about it . The fairways were in great condition, no burned or dried out spots that I’ve witnessed. The greens even in better shape . They rolled very true and were very consistent from the first hole to to the 18th. It does play a little so don’t forget any clubs behind . What I really enjoyed is the fact this course starts with a par 5 and ends with a par 5 . Beautiful picturesque course with a great design and layout . Would highly recommend this course to all …

Even in the summer, this course maintains a high quality product. Greens run at a good speed for the summer. Lot's of water stations available throughout the round. Pace of play was a little slow for first few holes but then picked up and we finished in 4 hours and 15 minutes. The ice cold towel 1/2 way through the round was so refreshing (it was 110 the day I played) and a sign of their top notch customer service. Anytime this course is less than $100, play it!

For this time of year and the temperature they are getting this course was in excellent shape. Firecliff!!

Course was excellent, especially for summer. Pace of play was slow for a summer afternoon.

Just a great place to golf year round.. Thank you staff and everybody at desert willow for your service!

From bag drop, check in great.

Stater to marshal very helpful and informative.

Free range balls and a pager to let you know when to report back to the starter.

Pristine condition with a great layout.

You must choose your approach shots carefully as there many bunkers on the fairways and protecting the greens.

The greens are fast and deceiving.

Not a lot of breaks so lines are straight and fast.

Also water and ice on the course.

A marshal also delivered cold towels at valley points.

It was 95 degrees with a breeze and a bargain

at $ 67.00

Great condions all around. Possibly the only knock would be the sand in most bunkers is very thin and firm-ish. Other than that fairways, tees and greens were very good. Greens were smooth and ran 9-10ish. Everyone here is very nice and they treat you very well with a smile. Had a group of 4 golfers jump in front of us on #10 and tee’d off from the tips. Of course 3 of the golfers topped their drives less than 80 yds. Wasn’t going to let that lameness ruin an absolutely beautiful, outstanding day at Desert Willow. But it does explain the 4 stars, not 5, for pace of play.
