Desert Willow Golf Resort

About Desert Willow Golf Resort

You'll find this desert gem tucked away in Palm Desert's competitive golf scene, where it manages to stand out despite flying under the radar of many visiting golfers. The routing takes full advantage of the natural desert terrain and mountain backdrop, creating memorable holes that feel more intimate and less manufactured than some of the flashier resort courses nearby. What really sets Desert Willow apart is its commitment to maintaining excellent conditions year-round without the premium pricing you'd expect from a Coachella Valley resort track. The 4.5-star rating from over 400 reviews tells the real story here – this is a course that consistently delivers on playability and service. Walking is permitted, which is increasingly rare at desert resorts and adds to the authentic golf experience rather than the cart-dependent cattle drive you'll encounter elsewhere in the valley. If you're looking for a solid desert golf experience without the tourist markup or pretentious clubhouse scene, this should be on your short list for the Palm Desert area.
