Great golf course

I play this course 2 or 3 times a month and love it! The layout is great! I hit a hole in one on the 5th hole!!!! I wish they had something to reward a player for a hole in one, like a hat or something.

Have been playing here since they opened. The staff is great and always helps with the t times. Course is always in great shape. We enjoy playing here and try to get out once a week. Sometimes when weather is excellent the pace of play will be a little slow.

Desert Willow Golf Course

I’ve played here four or five times this year, and this might be my favorite course in the Las Vegas area. Even though it is a Par 60 with no par 5’s, it is perfect for an afternoon round and can be played by a foursome in 3 - 4 hours. The tees, the fairways, the greens, the sand traps are all in impeccable condition. I’m 70 and sometimes a 5 - 6 hour round is just too much. I used every club in my bag today so I don’t consider this to be a “short” chip and putt course by any means. Plus, the surrounding scenery is amazing.

Maintainance of cup.

I've played this course around 150 times and I have never make a putt close to the hole. Whoever is cutting the cup needs training on how to cut new hole, remove the turf then set the cup level around the hole. for 12 inches after sitting the new cup
