Westin Desert Willow Villas

We played Firecliff, absolutely beautiful! I couldn’t get over how lush everything was, the t-boxes, fairways and greens. I gave the four rating because the staff is just not friendly, not unfriendly just not friendly if you know what I mean. The staff here should go play a round at Indian Wells so they would know how professional staff treat their patrons.

We stayed at the Westin and got favorable rates as resort guests. Both courses are great, beautiful on and off, excellent conditions, challenging but playable.

We stayed at the Westin and got favorable rates on both courses. They’re both terrific, with great scenery on the course and in the distance, challenging but playable.

This is a premier course in the desert. It is a must play course. I loved it.

Course is in great conditions , greens were rolling nicely. Great course for the money, around $125.

Great clubhouse, restaurant, etc.

if you haven’t played it, it’s worth it.

Course is in great shape and the views are stunning. Proshop closed at 3pm which was a bit early to do any post-round shopping. Staff was okay - not overly friendly for an expensive venue would have expected a bit more.

All is great at Desert Willow but they would be so unique and better if they allowed walking and pull carts. Golfers who walk will play as fast or faster than all the silly carts

This course was beautiful, it had aerial views of the mountains, very well-kept,and the staff was wonderful. It was challenging and exciting and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful day of golf. The only drawback was I had heard so many wonderful things about the restaurant and it closed at 5 o’clock just seems a bit early to close. I hope they extend their hours.

This is a beautiful course this stunning views in every direction. The staff was incredibly helpful. I had read so many wonderful things about the restaurant and bar both of which close far to early. Everyone who had completed golf at 5pm wanted to go for a drink and even possibly to dinner but their hours are far to short.

Fine desert golf course in excellent condition. True and fast greens. Very friendly staff.

Rode the Purples (6676/72.1/136) in 4H twilight with GK Guru's John, Brian and Dave. Great to play with a couple of out of the area guys I previously had enjoyable rounds with. We finished 18 in the dark due to a National Club Champion Tournament that ran over. We were unable to start until after 1 pm. Partly cloudy, fairly calm and around 60. Thanks to John for setting up and to Desert Willow for having the guru group out.

Tees mostly lush and level but after that tournament, were pretty chewed up for divots.

Fairways lush and good to play from.

Rough very lush. Ball sat up, not overly penal except it cost you roll. Usually good to chip out of but deep enough to be penal.

Greenside traps had good quality sand. Decently maintained, with a generous amount of thick sand. Waste bunkers were firm and not as well maintained as the greenside traps.

Large greens putted medium fast speed and were firm with some rollout.

Customer Service always excellent here from when you drop your clubs off out front to when you pick them up after the round. Nice GPS on upgraded carts that have ports for electronics. The all grass driving range is included and is excellent with a nice practice chipping area. Drink Cart around several times. Ice/water stations every few holes. Excellent and very fun layout to play. Recommended, IMO the best public course in the Greater Palm Springs area.
