    I went to a BBQ today located on this golf course.  If was fun eating while watching the balls flying around.  After eating, a few guys asked me if I wanted to go golfing with them.  Sure!  Why not?  I haven't been golfing in quite awhile.  

    They couldn't believe that I hadn't been golfing in ages because I did so well!  My friend, who is taking lessons, was like....how'd you get to be so good?  All I have to say is that it must be beginners luck!  It's really the only explanation.  

    I loved every minute of it.  The wide open lush spaces.  The desert mountains as the backdrop.  Being out there hitting the balls around.  I really believe that golfing could just be my next sport that I conquer.  Yay for golfing!

    This is a great little course. Everything is kept up really nice. It is a slower course, so be aware if you are on a time restraint. Things can get backed up at times. But if you are patient this course is really fun to play. Not many long holes but plenty of challenging Par 3's that will work your short game. You can find some great deals online for this course which make it worth every penny.

    The club house is used as a dual purpose facility, housing what seems like a retirement recreational center, which makes it kinda confusing when trying to find the Pro Shop for the first time.

    A great little course tucked away in the back of Green Valley, this course offers a little something for everyone. Most holes are short, being an executive course, which is great for the first time golfer or someone looking to practice their short game. The best part about this course is during the summer time, it's fairly inexpensive to play and it's close to where I live (which is a plus for me).

    Occasionally you get some old folks who play in a weekly 9-hole tourney and the course marshall will kick you off. Granted, they do give you plenty of warning which is cool but you will have to drive back to where you left off when they are done.

    As a new golfer, I'm pretty lousy at hitting balls for great distances off the tee. I think my longest drive is an embarrassing 100 yards or so! I absolutely love this course because as an executive course it only contains short par 4 and par 3s. No evil par 5 holes to deal with!

    It's well groomed and the staff is very friendly. Green fees are VERY reasonable, especially their twilight rates that start around 2 PM or so . We played for $20 last weekend! Sweet!

    It's only a par 60, but perfect for those with a poor distance game, or those just looking to hone their short game. As someone who gets bored after 4-5 hours of golf, this course is a happy medium between playing 9 holes and committing to a full length course.

    Beautiful course.  This is my second time playing here (or anywhere) and I had a lot of fun.  Very green, minimal desert landscape.  A few challenging holes and well maintained.  The best part is if you book online, locals get a discount.

    I have played this course about six times. It is convenient and always well groomed. Make sure and book as Nevada resident cheaper greens fees.
    The hardest thing about this set up is that if the wind is blowing at all it is
    amplified to almost comic levels. With the wind at my back I blew a par 4 green so far I found my ball laying by the ladies tees for the next hole. It had to have gone 350 and on my very best day I hit 250. Then on the turn playing into the wind my drive on thirteen went 75 yards and i think it kicked off a sprinkler head to get that far. Everyone at Desert Willows is very friendly the cart girl always seems to be close and the beer in the 19th hole is cheap.

    Good condition and fun course. The green hot to stop the ball but still good to play.
