FireCliff at Desert Willow

Under the conditions of 110+ temperatures, it was in great shape. We've played here a few years ago and it"s still one of our favorites

Visiofrom the UK

My son and I played the course for the first time and we’re very impressed with the layout of the course which was challenging but enjoyable. The greens as expected were a bit patchy for the time of year but still in reasonable condition. We’ll definitely play there again on our next visit.

Played this course many times on trips to the area.

Amazing course for the price

Amazing course for the price (during summer) friendly staff, range balls included, gps, fast carts. Be aware if you tee off later around 1140 the snack bar with byo sandwiches closed at 130 so plan accordingly before because there will be no turn snacks.

Poor greens

While the course was in good condition, the greens had been sanded and were either burnt out or had some sort of disease. Putting was complete luck.

Firecliff on Fire

Enjoyed the Firecliff course although with the hot weather (110F) the greens were a bit rough. Some enjoyable holes. Especially liked No. 3, No. 9 No 17 & No. 18 with water in play on several. Wildlife fans some some lizards, rabbits and even a Hawk on the 1st fairway. Fairways were in decent shape and good warm up facilities. Great value.

Great experience

First class all throughout this facility. Fantastic layout, friendly staff. Definitely play again. The only thing that prevented 5 stars on the conditions were the greens were patchy in some areas.
