About this course

Mountain View is one of two 18-hole courses at Desert Willow Golf Resort in Palm Desert, California, set on the desert floor with the Santa Rosa Mountains as a backdrop.

Designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, the course plays to a par of 72 over roughly 6,913 yards from the back tees. It is built to be more relaxed and forgiving than its companion Firecliff course, with rolling fairways, desert plantings and water features framing wide, undulating greens across several tee options.

The course is open to the public, with tee times bookable online and resident rate programs for local Palm Desert card holders. It closes for a period each fall for overseeding, and shares practice facilities with the resort's Firecliff course.
