Palms at Marriott's Desert Springs Resort

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.

Course is good! The greens are not in good condition. The GPS on the carts is not calibrated to the pin placement. Played three other courses in the last week and these were the poorest greens

The staff was very friendly other than those in the golf shop. They should remember that we are their customer! They act completely indifferent. They should work for the IRS.

These are the worst greens I’ve played here period!

The starter at JW Marriott Desert Springs was hands down the best I’ve ever encountered. Incredibly friendly and attentive, he went out of his way to ensure we had food and drinks before our round, even with a long line. His exceptional service truly elevated our experience, and I just want to make sure he gets the recognition he deserves!

The Golf course was in excellent condition. Good shots were rewarded with a fair

placement for your next swing. Fairways have some great mogels for challenging efforts to the green. Greens were a stent or two slower than the other courses I've played in the valley. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.

Some beautiful holes. Loads of water. Way more hills than I was expecting. Greens not as good as you would hope.

On a par 4 with water about 125 yards to 80 yards in front of the green and a very steep uphill slope past the water to the green, they cut the rough so short on the hill that even though I purposely hit into the rough 50 yards past the water, my ball rolled all the way down the hill and into the water.

This is not a "resort course" like condition! maybe appropriate for a PGA event, but certainly not for a resort course! Especially not fun when it was $229 for a round that should have been about $75 to $100!!!

The course is in great condition. The last few holes will make you cry if you get careless.

Beautiful course, well maintained, although the greens were a little bumpy. lots of water on the front nine.

Lots of hills and water on this beautiful course in the middle of the Marriott complex

A fun layout (Palms Course)… the course, with the exception of the greens, is is very good shape. Greens were thin (still coming in.. assuming they need warmer weather 😎). I would play again, but only if the greens were much better.

Pro shop person would not check us in for our round until 1hour before the tee time .. since we pre paid via TeeOff.com/Golf now !! I have never encountered this “rule” at any course. The guy might have had a bad day. The starter (Tim) was awesome… he move us to an earlier tee time and let us hit balls before we were officially checked in! At least one employee was customer service focused.

Not much grass in the fairways.

Not enough sand in the bunkers.

Greens need some work.
