Golf | The Desert Willow, Palm Desert
| The Desert Willow actually offers 2 championship courses. However, The Firecliff often gets more comments from prior guests. The love the course, raving about challenges: over 100 (I think) bunkers and water features. However, as much as the course gets raves, the surroundings get raves, too. Most guests mention when they`ve gone, they`re stunned at the beauty, the views, landscaping/lawn care; it (more than any other course) feels like the perfect "desert" course. | |
