We had an incredible experience and are so fortunate to have our wedding here this past fall. We kicked off the weekend with a round of golf on Friday—the course was beautiful, and the pro shop (shout out to Brian and Jason!) was extremely accommodating. Saturday went off without a hitch. The ceremony on the event lawn was picture-perfect, followed by a lovely cocktail hour on the Palm Desert Terrace. Dinner and dancing on the Lakeview Terrace made for an unforgettable evening. Everything was seamless and beautifully coordinated! Robbie, (Coordinator/Director of Catering Sales) was truly a magician—her care, attention, and patience over months of planning made all the difference, and she ensured day of unfolded perfectly. Harry, the Banquet Manager, kept every transition between events smooth and effortless, so we could simply enjoy every moment. Thanks to the whole team, we appreciate all of you!

Played course on 15 June 2025. Course staff is very friendly and helpful. From the cart guys, marshall, pro shop, and diner. Everyone was top tier. The course has complimentary range balls, good practice greens, and a nice chipping area. The course itself conditions are great also. Tee boxes level, fairways cut nicely, and greens well maintained. These greens roll and roll FAST. The only critique I could say is the sand in the bunkers. They don't have much at all and definitely need more but is not a reason to give this course less than 5 stars. The marshall even came around with cold towels to keep us cool. Five star treatment and service!!! They treated our G.O.A.L. golf group with class. Definitely recommend this course to all and I will be back. THE COURSE IS CHALLENGING, THIS IS YOUR WARNING!!

Fantastic experience on Fireclif course. Good variety of holes with really cool backdrops (foliage, palms, water) on a lot of approach shots. We played in 4h, entire course was in great shape with bathroom and water stations every 3-4 holes. Greens are very reasonable, some movement to keep you focused and receptive to good shots, they're not tabletop fast which is appreciated.

Some of the nicest views in the desert are to be found here. I don't golf, but I have attended number of gatherings here and eaten at their restaurant, and it is quite good. This is an excellent place to hold small events of up to around fifty people.

Been here numerous times in past years. For lunch and breakfast. And it is one of the nicer patios with golf views around. Food was previously great, however the last couple tests has been below par. Burger was lacking in the flavor dept and quesidiawas drowning in cheese, reorderwe coffee twice and was pretty poor all around. Hope they get back on course.
