Desert Willow Golf Course sits in Henderson, Nevada, just southeast of Las Vegas, and features two eighteen-hole layouts designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash. The course opened in 1997 as a municipal facility, providing public access golf in the rapidly developing southern Nevada region. Casper, a three-time major champion and prolific course designer in his post-playing career, worked with Nash to create layouts that accommodate the high desert terrain and the area's characteristic vegetation. The property occupies relatively flat land typical of the Las Vegas Valley basin, with the design incorporating desert landscaping, native grasses, and strategic bunkering to define holes and create visual interest in the absence of significant elevation change. Water features appear on several holes, a notable element in the arid climate. The course reflects the desert target-golf style that became common in southwestern public facilities during the 1990s, with generous landing areas balanced by hazards that penalize wayward shots. Desert Willow serves Henderson residents and visitors seeking accessible golf in a region dominated by resort and daily-fee courses. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse with standard amenities. The course operates year-round, with peak season running through the cooler months when temperatures make desert golf most comfortable. Its municipal status and location make it a practical option for golfers looking to play in the Las Vegas area without resort pricing.
