Great Golf Facility!

Desert Willow has two very good good courses. I played Firecliff and found it to be in great shape from tee to green. Tge course is a modern design with many memorable holes and can be very challenging from the back tees. There us a gokf shop, restaurant, driving range , putting green and chipping areas. The staff is excellent and paired groups to enhance soeed of play which is not usually done. Both coursesxare a must play.

Not worth it!!!

We felt like no one cares.

No water on the course.

So many other places to play that want golfers. Dot

Do not waste your time

Faulty GPS

Our cart GPS froze on hole 1 and worked on 5. But faulted several times on back nine.

We sent email to send a new cart but never heard from staff.

Green’s slightly unpredictable.

Great course in immaculate conditions

Had a wonderful time today at Desert Willow

Staff was super nice

Course was in immaculate condition

Challenging holes and also like a few drivable par 4’s if you’re brave enough

Will definitely be back next time in Palm Springs
