Desert Willow Golf Resort

38-995 Desert Willow Drive
Palm Desert, California 92260
Tel: 800 320-3323

Desert Willow Golf Resort, one of the finest public access golf facilities constructed anywhere in recent years. Designed by Michael Hurzdan, (Golf Course Architect of the Year), Dana Frye and PGA Professional, John Cook, Desert Willow's two 18-hole Championship courses offer a challenging yet rewarding experience for golfers of all levels.

Both the Firecliff and Mountain View courses test the character and skill of players regardless of which one of the five sets of tees is selected for play. Lush desert landscaping, panoramic mountain vistas, numerous water features and extensive use of bunkers make a trip to Desert Willow one not soon forgotten.

Firecliff

18 Regulation, Men- 72/132; Ladies- 72/128
Architect: Michael Hurzdan and Dana Frye with PGA Professional John Cook

Designed by Michael Hurdzan, Dana Frye and John Cook with large lakes, desert wasteland and bunkers throughout. The water and rock features, and large desert landscaping highlight both courses. These courses will test your skills, keep you honest and keep you coming back for more!

Since opening day the Firecliff course has received numerous awards and recognition for its unique and challenging design. Recently selected by Golf Digest as one of "The Places To Play", this tournament tested layout is one of only three courses in California and one of the best 50 in the United States to receive this designation in terms of conditioning.

Featured on the cover of Smithsonian Magazine as well as in National Geographic Traveler for its environmentally sound design and construction, Firecliff has attracted tournaments such as the Frank Sinatra Celebrity Classic, Subaru Southern California Team Championship, and Pepsi Tour events. In November, The Prestige at Palm Desert, an official NCAA event, will feature sixteen of the top universities in the country including Stanford, UCLA, Washington, Yale, Rice, Pepperdine and Northwestern.

The course features more than 100 bunkers, expansive desert areas, undulating greens and 5 holes that bring water into play. With 5 sets of tees, Firecliff can play from 5079 yards to 7056 yards with the most difficult hole being number 4 - a 446 yd. par 4.

All golf carts at Desert Willow are equipped with a GPS system designed to provide a more enjoyable experience and maintain a desired rate-of-play.

Mountain View Course

Located on Desert Willow Drive off of Country Club
(between Cook Street and Portola Ave)
Palm Desert, California 92260

18 Regulation, Men- 72/126; Ladies- 72/128
Architect: Michael Hurzdan and Dana Frye with PGA Professional John Cook
Designed by Michael Hurdzan, Dana Frye and John Cook with large lakes, desert wasteland and bunkers throughout. The water and rock features, and large desert landscaping highlight both courses. These courses will test your skills, keep you honest and keep you coming back for more!

Opened just 11 short months after Firecliff, Mountain View is designed more as a resort-type course with wider fairways and limited desert waste areas. But appearances can be deceiving, as Mountain View is rated just slightly less difficult than its predecessor.

Somewhat forgiving fairways, 98 well-placed bunkers, sloping greens, and 7 water features require golfers to incorporate their best course management skills to avoid trouble lurking adjacent to virtually every fairway and green. Toughest hole is #14.

All golf carts at Desert Willow are equipped with a GPS system designed to provide a more enjoyable experience and maintain a desired rate-of-play.
