Desert Willow Golf Course – Henderson’s Par‑60 Powerhouse
Executive golf in Henderson’s foothills
Tucked “over by the foothills of Black Mountain,” Desert Willow Golf Course delivers a punchy 18‑hole executive layout that packs six par‑4s and a dozen par‑3s into just 3,811 yards. Designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash, this Southern Nevada favorite offers a hefty challenge—without requiring a full day commitment.
Opened in 1996, Desert Willow carved its niche as a public executive layout built for finesse—and lots of fun. Sand traps, water on three holes, rolling terrain, and undulating greens make each round an engaging test of patience and skill . A family‑friendly pioneer, it was among the first in Nevada to offer junior tees
Quick rounds: Par‑60 layout lets you finish in ~3 hours—ideal for weekday tee‑offs.
Practice mega‑hub: One of Henderson’s largest driving ranges, plus full chipping and a 9,500 sq ft putting green .
On‑site eats & drinks: The welcoming Willows Restaurant & Bar is perfect for post‑round recovery.
Public access: No memberships—just book a tee time and show up.
This isn’t “just another course.” It’s a mainstay for beginners, high‑handicappers, and anyone chasing fast‑paced golf with scenic views. Locals appreciate the friendly staff, social energy, and that it’s “right in the foothills”—not far into the desert wilderness.
