History

Established in 1997.

Desert Willow Golf Resort began with a plan that embraced the desert landscape and respected the fragility of natural resources necessary to maintain the course. When the City of Palm Desert hired the design team of Dr. Michael Hurdzan, Dana Fry, and, then desert resident and PGA Tour Professional, John Cook, it was solidified that Desert Willow was going to be special. With Eric Johnson, a local landscape architect, they thoughtfully developed a plant palette that would make Desert Willow environmentally sensitive, unique, and picturesque, while integrating this with an exceptional golf course design. The Firecliff golf course opened in 1997 and was named for the supper club owned by early Palm Desert residents, Leonard Firestone and Clifford Henderson.

Mountain View golf course opened in October 1998. Over ten years ago, the first round of golf was played at Desert Willow Golf Resort and the dream was accomplished.
