Desert Willow Golf Resort is a Palm Desert daily-fee golf club with two distinct courses set against the Santa Rosa Mountains. It is open to the public, giving visitors a country-club-style golf outing with practice facilities, dining, and GPS-equipped carts.

Two Courses, One Resort

Choose between the Firecliff Course and the Mountain View Course, both created by Dr. Michael Hurdzan, Dana Fry, and PGA Tour professional John Cook. Firecliff pairs dramatic contours, water features, native flora, and more than 100 bunkers, while the resort’s mountain setting keeps the surrounding desert landscape part of the round.

Practice Before Your Round

The Palm Desert Golf Academy adds a dedicated driving range and short-game area for golfers who want time to work before play. The clubhouse and golf shop provide practical resort stops, while the Terrace Restaurant, Lobby Bar, and Cook’s Cantina create options for gathering around your golf plans.

Public Golf In Palm Desert

As a City of Palm Desert-owned club managed by KemperSports, Desert Willow welcomes public play as a high-end daily-fee experience. Its two-course format can suit visitors who want a choice of layouts without needing private-club access, whether golf is the main event or part of a Palm Desert stay.

Consider Desert Willow when you want public golf framed by Santa Rosa Mountain scenery, with two courses and useful on-site amenities in one Palm Desert setting. The practice areas can make it easier to settle into the day before teeing off.
