Desert Willow Golf Resort: Mountain View Course

Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, with PGA Tour pro John Cook consulting, designed the Mountain View Course at Desert Willow in 1998 on behalf of the City of Palm Desert, one of the most ambitious municipal golf projects in the country, commissioned to give a public course a truly premium Palm Desert experience. Mountain View plays the companion role to Desert Willow's tournament-tougher Firecliff: 6,913 yards par-72, sweeping fairways that are more forgiving than Firecliff, desert flora brushing the rough lines, mountain views filling the backgrounds. Bermuda fairways and greens throughout. Peak green fees run $198 with dynamic pricing dropping as low as $79 off-season, genuinely public access to championship-grade conditioning, and the single most accessible stadium-caliber round in Palm Desert. Fits a Palm Springs trip as 'the value round with tournament-level conditioning' without needing a resort stay.
