Opened just 11 short months after Firecliff, Mountain View is designed more as a resort-type course with wider fairways and limited desert waste areas. But appearances can be deceiving, as Mountain View is rated just slightly less difficult than its predecessor.

Somewhat forgiving fairways, 98 well-placed bunkers, sloping greens, and 7 water features require golfers to incorporate their best course management skills to avoid trouble lurking adjacent to virtually every fairways and greens. Toughest hole is #14.

All golf carts at Desert Willow are equipped with a GPS system designed to provide a more enjoyable experience and maintain a desired rate-of-play.
