Fantastic condition!

Excellent grass on fairways, tees, and greens.

Very surprising for off season golf.

Two cart girls. A cold towel delivery.

I made a tee time for tomorrow morning!

Great value.

Nice Desert Golf

Course was in great condition given the day was one of the hottest this summer. Pace was excellent and staff was outstanding. Really appreciated the attendant making several rounds of the course providing ice cold water and towels - a real life saver on a day like this.

Look forward to playing here again.

The Heat Is On

Enjoyable round on a very hot day at the Mountain View Course. Course in very good condition, some fun holes & a couple of challenging pins. Lots of access to water which was key. Greens in very good shape. A bit of extra sand on some holes which weren't really bunkers which was odd. One of the most comfortable golf carts ever riden in. Had GPS too. Is it better than Fire Cliff no but still a very fun rack.

solid round

enjoy this track. Staff was great from the pro shop to the assistance to the encore Marshall. They even provide wet towels during the round and toward the end, which is a nice experience.

Track is solid and pace play is good. Greens are in great shape. Great place to play especially in the summer. Practice facilities are good as well.

They also offer shuttle service between the desert, Willow Westin, and the course

Awesome course. Bunkers need more sand.

More sand in the bukers. Other than that, the course is top-notch.

WOW! GREAT EVERYTHING. Better conditions than Indian Wells and PGA West Stadium. I was blown away at this course. It was my wife’s favorite course that we played this week. For reference I am 6 handicap and my wife is a 26. I played the two tee’s and she played the front.

Excellent all around

The course was an immaculate shape. We played in the early afternoon and finished in 4 hours and 10 minutes.

We will be back when we visit the desert.
