About Desert Willow Golf Resort - Mountain View

Desert Willow Golf Resort's Mountain View Course is the companion layout to the celebrated Firecliff Course at Palm Desert's city-owned resort complex, offering a more playable and forgiving alternative on the same beautifully maintained desert property. Also designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry and opened shortly after Firecliff, Mountain View shares the same native desert vegetation philosophy, panoramic mountain scenery, and premium city-maintained conditioning — but routes through slightly less demanding terrain with wider fairways and more generous landing zones. The course is named for the exceptional views of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains that frame the layout from every angle. Mountain View is particularly popular with higher-handicap players and recreational golfers who want the Desert Willow experience without the stern challenge of the Firecliff layout.

History

Desert Willow Golf Resort's Mountain View Course was designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry and opened as a companion to the Firecliff Course, completing Palm Desert's dual-course municipal resort complex. The city developed both courses to create a comprehensive golf destination competitive with private resorts in the Coachella Valley while remaining publicly accessible. Together, Firecliff and Mountain View represent one of the finest examples of municipal golf resort development in the American West.

Recreational golfers and higher handicappers who want the full Desert Willow experience — native desert beauty, mountain views, premium city conditioning — on a more forgiving and enjoyable layout.
