Westin Desert Willow Villas

My only issue, is closing the dinner and bar at 5 pm, makes no sense, always open in prior years…we like to dine at the course after playing…

What a gem. One of the top courses I’ve ever played. Conditions just immaculate. Can’t wait to come back.

What a pleasure to play this course again! I have played a bunch of very good courses this month but this one was in impeccable condition! The fairways were so firm that it was easy to get good backspin on wedge shots.

I liked the greens- challenging but fair. Once you got the speed of them you could really score.

I say all of this in comparison to one of my favorite courses, the PGAWest Mountain course which is an unplayable mess right now - mud pits from past flooding, greens as hard as rock, closed range, no gps or ball washers - what a real disappointment!

Save your money and go play Firecliff!!

Course in excellent condition. Very varried and not too long. Will play here again

Best condition. Great pace. Friendly staff. Will definitely play again

One of the best around. Great staff, course was in good shape., Will for sure play again. Will need a few more birdies to get a low round in.

Most beautiful course in the Desert. You won't be disappointed, staff was great and the course is immaculate. A real test but fun at the same time. I played from the purple tees which made it a bit tougher for me, but still had a great time. I met some great guys from Canada who had played the course several times and they gave me some insights on various holes which was nice because it was my first time playing the course. Make sure you go to the restuarant after your round. Great food and drinks and the views on the patio are amazing. Have fun, you'll love it.

This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing courses I’ve ever played

The numerous sand traps complimented by large water hazards all combined to make for a challenging round of golf

The fairways were immaculate and the greens rolled true. The staff was very helpful and friendly

I had a wonderful day

Course was excellent as always. Only drawback was condition of the greens. Played late on a Saturday so that explains some of the issue. Overall, great golf course

Absolutely stunning, beautiful and beautifully maintained course. Exceedingly picturesque views on many holes, speaking to the course, holes & greens surrounds directly. Rivals and bests scenes you've seen on TV watching the pros play. Fairways for the most part immaculate and splendid to hit off of, be it iron or wood or mini driver off the deck on a long par 5 2nd shot, to hopefully get darn close in 2, or at least right in close around there if you strike it well. Noticeable right as you're driving in for the first time, (it's about a 1/4 mile driveway) you catch a glimpse of a hole or two and for me at least you get a hint that you might be somewhere special. That thought was confirmed handsomely, from the moment I was greeted and interaction with staff, so gracious, kind, cool, welcoming & professional. Really was comforting, made me feel relaxed at ease and like I belonged there and was someone special....(I'm not). So I really appreciated that elite level of service that was so human, natural and unpretentious, which isn't always a guarantee. Especially given that it's a premier level facility, so they do sort of have that right to be a little uppity, but there was absolutely none of that at all. The only difficulty was it being mid-August and a weather service heat wave bulletined muggy 115 degree day. So I rightly chose to turn around after 12 and made it back to the clubhouse just as early stage heatstroke symptoms began to set in. I did have a little collapse right then, but the staff further proved their hospitality is not merely an acting job. They took great care of me until I felt ready to make if over to my car. Can't wait to play there again in the winter months of Southern California

Played Firecliff after overseeding, but I am not dinging it for course conditions. The pace of the round was fine on the front, but slowed down quite a bit on the back nine. Playing with a discounted rate, the course is still overpriced for what you get. I know some must love the place, but location is about all I really like about it. Probably my last time unless I see a really good rate pop up in the future.
