Desert Willow Golf Resort — Mountain View Course

Mountain View is the friendlier sibling of Desert Willow's two Hurdzan-Fry layouts — slightly shorter than the Firecliff with wider fairways and half the bunkers, but more water in play. The desert-naturalistic design lets the Santa Rosa Mountains do the talking, with native plants and desert washes defining the character rather than manufactured landscaping. If the Firecliff is the test, Mountain View is the round where you enjoy the scenery and actually make some birdies.
