The
Mountain View course was designed to be a transition between the more challenging and tournament quality Firecliff course and the traditional Palm Desert, California course of fence to fence turfgrass, flowers and flowing water. Mountain View was intended to have each of these characteristics, but with it's own distinct personality.
