Palms at Marriott's Desert Springs Resort

Patchy tee boxes and fairways. Greens were patchy rough and shaggy.

Neighbouring courses in far better condition.

Greens were bumpy. Any putt outside 4 feet hopped back and forth

Patchy fairways and greens.

Greens in rough shape.

The upside is the great staff and course layout.

Very nice course. Fun to play. A very good resort course. Not hard. Enjoyable. Fairways a little thin but very playable. (they haven't had rain). Greens were very good! We stayed in the villas that surround the course and they are fantastic. Will definitely stay there again!

These are the worst greens I’ve played here in Palm Desert. Other courses that are much more reasonable have much better greens.

Great course but the green are in poor condition. the pace time is OK. We start at 1:20 and we just finished the course

There was a group of five in front of us that were painfully slow. I really don't care about how many people are in a group, just keep up with the group ahead!

The Desert Springs Palm course is not worth the greens fees, or even half of the greens fees (I paid #199). The greens were slow and very bumpy -- unlike any other course I've played in the Coachella Valley. The service is what you'd expect from a muni. There was no one at the bag drop, the starter told me I was not on the tee sheet (he was wrong), the couple I played with had their cart die mid-round, and it took 20 minutes after they called the clubhouse to get a replacement cart. The course itself is okay, but it's obvious that you're playing within a large rectangle of grass placed in the middle of town; lots of streets on the left side of holes. The fairways were in pretty good shape, but as I mentioned above the greens were in rough shape and so bumpy you had to jam the ball into the hole to prevent it being knocked off line. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
