Desert Willow Golf Course
About Desert Willow Golf Course
Desert Willow is an 18-hole, par-60 executive-style course in Henderson, designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash. Measuring 3,811 yards, the layout consists of six par 4s and twelve par 3s, carved from the foothills of Black Mountain. Sand traps, hilly terrain and undulating greens shape play throughout, and water comes into play on three holes.
The course was among the first in Nevada to install junior tees, adding to its appeal for families. Practice facilities include one of the larger driving ranges in Henderson, with five target locations set on mounds, plus a chipping and short-game area for shots from 75 yards and in.
The Willow Restaurant and Bar serves golfers after their round.
