Westin Desert Willow Villas

I’ve been spoiled by relatives belonging to La Quinta. Mountain course, Dunes course, but mostly the private Citrus course. A member recommended Desert Willow. Had no idea what to expect. It was awesome. I teed off at 2:55 in early June and paid $51.00. Perfect!!

Highly recommend!!

First time playing Firecliff. Generous fairways from tee. Rough is mowed down. Pace of play was good. Took 3hr 40 minutes for 11:40 tee time on Wednesday. Water with crushed ice stations. Only mishap was GPS did not work until i drove back to the Starter to reset it. Starter stated it was set on Marshall mode. Note to self, make certain GPS is working before teeing off. Restaurant was serving food, dine in, tables were say 10-feet plus apart. There is a fantastic view overlooking holes 9 and 18. Very reasonable option to eat with wife. Also had 6-pack domestic beer for $12 bucks!

I played both courses today- 36 holes in under 5 hours total. Had a 10:30 tee time. Both courses were in great shape. Fun layouts. Mountain was great, definitely better potential for scoring, I just wasn’t hitting it that well. Surprisingly got it together for Firecliff and played great the 2nd round. Will definitely be back!

I thought it was a little to wide open but very nice. The sand was a little iffy.

The course is very green in really good condition beautiful layout very lush would highly recommend playing it if you get the chance.

Our round at Stone Eagle was cancelled due to the Corona Virus. Got on line and found this course. We paid less than what we were going to pay at Stone Eagle and got a great value in return. Course is immaculate. It rained most of the back nine, so the weather impacted what was a great golf course. Will come back and play the other course. Can’t believe this is a muni and owned by the city. Highly recommend.

Spectacular golf course, an oasis surrounded by desert & mountains. Superb condition!!

First time playing mountain view and was not disappointed. Both courses here and the facility are top shelf and would recommend to anyone. Pace of play could use a little work but I say that everywhere.

This is a hidden gem among a plethora of courses in the Palm Springs area. The fairways are in perfect condition, and the rough is equally in perfect condition.

The entire course is expertly manicured, and the greens roll true. Definitely worth the money!

We had a group of 14 players with back to back tee times. Even though we were booked to play on the Firecliff course, they were very confused and tried to put us on the Mountain course. The ancient starter didn’t know how to handle the issue, but they resolved it in the pro shop.

The course itself has quick rye grass greens and a really fun design. Several long par 4s from the Purple tees, but nothing unfair. The conditions were great! I loved the greens. So true and smooth. I’ll be sure to come back next time I’m in Palm Springs.

This course loves to charge a premium fee, but doesn’t provide the amenities that should go along with that fee. No rangers ever were seen, thus the pace of play was terrible. We had three foursomes to a hole from the 8th hole on!! A beverage cart was only seen once. Then we called to ask about getting someone out on the back nine. Terrible service in all aspects. There are lots of courses in Palm Desert area-avoid this one and its hefty price.

Course is a very good challenging layout. The multiple tees allow for a good time for all levels of golfer. Course is in outstanding condition. My only complaint was that the range was closed for regular maintenance yet nothing was mentioned in the online booking system. So we arrived an hour early to warm up and couldn’t swing a club.

Still had a good time.

The booking on GolfNow did not tell us that the range was closed. That’s a pretty important detail.

Marshall’s were non existent. A twosome backed up four groups behind them by the 4th hole and the marshalls never came out to speed them up.

I always enjoy playing at Desert Willow. Today was no exception. Perfect conditions and very fast large undulating greens make this beauty a challenge to go low. The desert beauty cannot be compared with any other public venue locally.

Nice facilities except they closed practice range early on Mondays at12:30
