Top notch golf course
Best condition. Great pace. Friendly staff. Will definitely play again
Al about the numbers
One of the best around. Great staff, course was in good shape., Will for sure play again. Will need a few more birdies to get a low round in.
Mountain View Course at Desert Willow.
Most beautiful course in the Desert. You won't be disappointed, staff was great and the course is immaculate. A real test but fun at the same time. I played from the purple tees which made it a bit tougher for me, but still had a great time. I met some great guys from Canada who had played the course several times and they gave me some insights on various holes which was nice because it was my first time playing the course. Make sure you go to the restuarant after your round. Great food and drinks and the views on the patio are amazing. Have fun, you'll love it.
WOW!
This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing courses I’ve ever played
The numerous sand traps complimented by large water hazards all combined to make for a challenging round of golf
The fairways were immaculate and the greens rolled true. The staff was very helpful and friendly
I had a wonderful day
Saturday Play
Course was excellent as always. Only drawback was condition of the greens. Played late on a Saturday so that explains some of the issue. Overall, great golf course
Desert Gem
Absolutely stunning, beautiful and beautifully maintained course. Exceedingly picturesque views on many holes, speaking to the course, holes & greens surrounds directly. Rivals and bests scenes you've seen on TV watching the pros play. Fairways for the most part immaculate and splendid to hit off of, be it iron or wood or mini driver off the deck on a long par 5 2nd shot, to hopefully get darn close in 2, or at least right in close around there if you strike it well. Noticeable right as you're driving in for the first time, (it's about a 1/4 mile driveway) you catch a glimpse of a hole or two and for me at least you get a hint that you might be somewhere special. That thought was confirmed handsomely, from the moment I was greeted and interaction with staff, so gracious, kind, cool, welcoming & professional. Really was comforting, made me feel relaxed at ease and like I belonged there and was someone special....(I'm not). So I really appreciated that elite level of service that was so human, natural and unpretentious, which isn't always a guarantee. Especially given that it's a premier level facility, so they do sort of have that right to be a little uppity, but there was absolutely none of that at all. The only difficulty was it being mid-August and a weather service heat wave bulletined muggy 115 degree day. So I rightly chose to turn around after 12 and made it back to the clubhouse just as early stage heatstroke symptoms began to set in. I did have a little collapse right then, but the staff further proved their hospitality is not merely an acting job. They took great care of me until I felt ready to make if over to my car. Can't wait to play there again in the winter months of Southern California
Nice, but overpriced
Played Firecliff after overseeding, but I am not dinging it for course conditions. The pace of the round was fine on the front, but slowed down quite a bit on the back nine. Playing with a discounted rate, the course is still overpriced for what you get. I know some must love the place, but location is about all I really like about it. Probably my last time unless I see a really good rate pop up in the future.
Very pretty landscaping. The marshaller did a good job ofmoving the slow foursome in front of us.
Great Course - Rushed Play
The course was in excellent condition and was very fun to play. Staff was friendly. Carts had GPS which was great. Carts also had club and ball washers. The only downside was the play felt rushed. We had a late tee time 2:20 and didn't know how many holes we would get through. Even though we were playing well within the 15 minutes per hole alloted, if felt like the people behind us were rushing to see how many holes they could get in. There was a three some behind us, a couple and a single. The single broke off and wanted to play through, so we let him. Then the double behind our foursome was pushing us, so we let them play through. We are average golfers and just don't like the feel of being rushed when we were keeping up with the rate of play.
Poor experience
Very poor customer service experience. They have GC has a policy where they don’t allow ride alongs in the same cart. They force players to ride with each other.
My wife is a cancer survivor that enjoys to ride along and watch us play. GC policy is so strict they won’t even let me pay a ride along fee. They want me to pay another full players fee. How ridiculous is that? I have never experienced such an inconsiderate facility and I will not return to patronize until the policy is changed to a more customer friendly philosophy.
Nice course but very expensive
I guess you get what you pay for, however this course is very expensive. Not used to paying over $300 CAD to play golf. It's definitely nice to play once, but there are other great courses in the area that are way more reasonable.
