Palms at Marriott's Desert Springs Resort

The Desert Springs courses Always play so slow. I get it as a resort course but they should have a Marshall to speed things up a bit. The people playing ahead and behind us said they’ll never play there again

Great course conditions, skillful design, challenging water and bunker placement. Reasonable pace of play. Highly recommend.

Great pro shop staff, bag guys and course starters. BUT, for the money, you'll be disappointed w/ the course experience. From a distance, the course looks great – green and plush but I can’t say anything good about the Greens Superintendent and his staff. The bunkers are like deep pits filled with small ground gravel; the concrete pan is easy to hit! Unfilled divots throughout the course are a sad site. We emptied the 2 sand bottles and never saw any sand refill stations on the course. The unrepaired ball marks on the greens are a blemish. Honestly, players paying this kind of money should know better and use the sand bottle generously and repair their own ball marks on the green - we never saw other golfers doing this.

Worst: The employees mowing and doing other course repair need guidance and awareness that they are not the only people on the course. They have no appreciation or concern for golfers. They do not stop mowing during swings and will mow in your path of play. The photo of the chopped up golf ball is after a mower guy, who saw me walking toward him, waving a wedge and pointing to the ground, purposely mowed over my ball! Never stopped or swerved to avoid me ..

When paying premium level green fees, remember you have choices so maybe select another course where the grounds crew have more appreciation of you.

Just wonderful. From 1st tee to last putt. Staff were efficient and friendly, breakfast burrito was delicious. Course was in fantastic shape.

I will definitely be back.

Course is lovely but management doesn’t have enough golf carts in stock so we waited well past our tee time to go out. Several holes were stacked two and three groups deep. Eight minute tee times, resort golfers, no rangers - definitely not worth what you will pay.

Great conditions, I was a single player who was paired up with some great guys. Had a blast. Pricey but affordable with GolfNow hot deal.

Course was spectacular, but we turned 9 holes in 2:50. Multiple times there were almost three groups waiting on the tee boxes. I don’t remember seeing a Marshall come by to speed things up even a little.

I have been golfing for 20+ years and never have I ever experienced the slowness of pace as I did in my round yesterday. At the third hole, there were five groups 10 carts waiting at the tee box and then it was stop wait play stop wait play all day. It took just over 3 hours for nine holes. I didn’t get to complete my round because of darkness and only got to play 15 holes. If the course wasn’t in such good shape and a very nice layout I would never recommend this course to anyone. I hope the next time I play this course it is not as slow so I can play a full round because it is a great course from what I got to experience.

Course is good, greens seemed a little beat, mostly due to lots of ball landing marks, enjoyable round, wind was blowing pretty good, but still playable.

Had a great time with our playing partners. Going great until a fifth guy joined the group in front of us kill ed the mojo. 4 hour round turned into 5.5 hour round and major hangry pains. Would have liked a course marshal to be on the course. Otherwise, it is a great course, fair and fun.
