In addition to golf, residents enjoy neighborhood pools and nearby parks with hiking trails and sports courts. Desert Willow is centrally located, just 5 miles from downtown Palm Desert and 15 miles from Palm Springs, with convenient access to several highways. Golf carts are permitted on some streets for local trips.
