A really nice layout and a strong golf course.
Firecliff is the longer of the two golf courses, Mountain View is the other course, and it's a fun course to play. I like challenging courses, and this is definitely challenging, from the back tees. It has everything, length, water, narrow driving areas, vegetation, and undulating fairways, and it made me use every club in my bag. For me that's a good indicator that the layout is strong.
If you are having problems keeping your Driver in the fairway, I suggest to take out your 3-wood, and/or bring extra balls, because if you are off the fairway, the tall, thick desert foliage will easily swallow your ball. Just take a deep breath and swing freely and you'll have a better chance of keeping it in play.
The club house is large, clean and new looking, the employees are always friendly and their practice area is large and complete.
For me it's one of the nicer public layouts I've played, and it can't be beat for the money. It's in Palm Desert which is pretty much in the center of the Coachella Valley so it's pretty easy to get to from anywhere.
If you want to have a nice round of golf, play Firecliff.
