Westin Desert Willow Villas

Simply said, beautiful course. My husband and I booked this through Golf Now, got paired up with another twosome at the course and had a great round. The staff was great, the course layout made it fair for any level of play and a couple water hazards were well placed to jump up and bite you off the tee if you didn’t know they were there and I didn’t, lol. Seriously, we’re both single digit handicaps and this course, even for the price, would be a must play for us if we came back to the valley. It’s expensive but it’s well worth the price to play this valley gem. I couldn’t get enough pics.

After playing a bad track nearby, this was heaven. Visually pretty. Great condition. Fabulous bar and restaurant overlooking 9th and 18th greens.

Course winds through vacation properties making for long drives between holes. Greens slope toward water so high approach shots are a must to hold them. Kitchen closed at 6:30 so no food available after the round. Of the 2 courses Play Firecliff.

Great course! Lots of sand so you have to be strategic with tee shots and approach shots but fairway6snd greens immaculate!!

Staff very friendly and helpful! Experience was fantastic and will add this course to must play list for each trip.

Course extremely beautiful as well!

Desert Willow has been on our Desert Tour list since 2005 and is a must play..Course conditions are always excellent. Staff and services are top notch

We loved the Mountain course. We were booked at Firecliff but we had an issue booking with GolfNow. We booked a tee time at Firecliff through GolfNow, showed up but they said our tee time was half an hour later. We would never have booked that time because we wouldn’t have been able to finish the round. Luckily, Desert Willow offered us a time on the Mountain course. GolfNow does not offer assistance with this issue on their website so had to write this review here. The Desert Willow golf experience was awesome...the GolfNow experience not so much.

Very nice course, and lots of actual desert willow. Very nicely landscaped and greens were around 9 - 10 on the stemp.

Pace of play was extremely poor. No Marshall was seen and we waited up to 15-20 minutes on the last 7 holes

Front 9 played at a great pace. Back 9 backed up all the way. One hole had theee groups waiting. No marshall on the course.

Fantastic course, very women friendly and great scenery. Generous driving lanes, greens in great condition and the course is alway in impeccable shape. Restaurant/bar closes early so late afternoon finishes require a trip to a different venue if you want to commiserate after a round. Very nice pro shop with great selection of the latest fashion for men and women

Rode the Purple tees (6507/71.2/128) in 4H, 20 twilight using Forelinx. Paired with Laura, Susan and Emmie, fun group to play with. The weather was clear, fairly calm and around 75.

Playing conditions were excellent bording on immaculate across the board.

The tees were very nice. Lush and level with few divots.

The fairways are lush, firm and really nice to play from.

The rough is lush and mowed down. Good POP rough, not overly penal. Really nice to chip from.

The waste bunkers were firm and not as well maintained as the greenside traps. The greenside traps had good quality sand and were nicely maintained.

The greens putted medium fast and were smooth and firm.

This course would be challenging to walk as numerous tees are a long way from the last green. Customer Service always excellent here from when you drop your clubs off out front to when you pick them up out front. Drink cart out making the rounds several times. Good GPS on carts. Plenty of ice/water stations on the course. The all grass driving range is included and above average. Nice practice chipping area. Highly recommended, very under rated course in the Palm Springs area.

Fantastic greens, friendly staff and very accommodating.

Superb conditions and beautiful layout. challenging course. miss the fairway and your in some thick grass which can be difficult to advance the ball along way. mainly because you will most likely have a uphill/downhill/side hill lie.

Apparently this course is regularly booked up, so expect to be waiting a little more than usual, we played on a Wednesday.

Practice facility and clubhouse are top notch.
