Palms at Marriott's Desert Springs Resort

The greens looked terrible but played true and at a fast pace.

There is no Marshall out here to push anybody we ended up playing with five and still watched the group ahead us play every shot

A fun course to play, as always. However, the website should indicate that greens have been recently over-sanded which detracted from an otherwise excellent round.

It seemed like it was squeezed inside a bunch of main roads.

Very noisy at times.

This is my second time playing a JW Marriott course. I played the Valley Course around this same time in 2019. The course was in excellent shape. The greens were quick, but not crazy fast, while still being receptive to shots. Fairways were terrific. GPS was accurate. Practice tee and green were adequate, with range balls included in the price. My one complaint was the lack of water on the course. On a 100 degree day, the beverage cart didn't come around until 8 tee, and then not at all on the back. Also, the water fountains on the back were out of order. I was a bit surprised to not get a few complimentary waters in the cooler on the cart, like I did at a lower priced course the week before in Las Vegas. I would definitely play the course again, but I'd be sure to stock up on water beforehand. A minor quibble, however, for what was a really great round on a gorgeous course, especially the waterfall at 2 green and the entire 17th hole. Pace of play was moderate (4 hours for the round), with just a few waits on some shots. Hard to judge the other off course amenities, as I was only there for the golf, and it appeared that some restaurants were closed due to the pandemic.

Played during over seeding process so not a fair test of normal conditions. Liked the layout and the staff was great.

My husband and I enjoyed our time on the course. Hot 106. But nice day for golfing

Still a pricy course but with others reseeding there weren’t many options. Very nice course to play, but no ice even to byodrinks, and no service to wipe down clubs or even water and towels to do ourselves. Marriott can do better!

Other than the slow mofos In front of us, it was in good shape and fun. Always like playing this course

No ice. 7 minute tee times led to long waits. Grumpy starter
