Palms at Marriott's Desert Springs Resort

Though the course is challenging but fun. The undulating fairways mean your are hitting 2nd shot either below or above ankles. Keep the ball in the center of the fairway and you will take the many water and sand traps out the game. Hole 17 is brutal especially with the firm green surface. I was able to hit 14 fairways allowing for great scores.

Gave this place a shot today, the weather was great for the 1st half of the round, then the wind began to bust & dust went flying. I liked this course but I guess I expected a bit more or better for being a JW Marriott property. The course is in a transition phase of preparing for the October overseeding & punching. This course doesn’t play long except when the wind is busting like today.

The property is beautiful with the hotel, pool & several lakes.

Very friendly staff from outside operations, pro shop, beverage cart & even maintenance workers. The rate I got today was fair, as all golf has become expensive, but little things like grass clumps, ant mounds & grass growing out of bunkers is unexpected for this type of facility. I would play this course again, but it would need to be at today’s rate.

After booking the tee time in person I arrived the next day only to later find out that I couldn’t share my set so it would’ve been nice to know in person.

We like the course; however, this time the grass was very tall which made it difficult to find your ball. We found a lot of balls but not necessarily ours. Needless to say, the tall grass wore me out...,hard to get out of and easy to go right back into another patch of tall grass.

Typical higher end course in Palm Springs. Well manicured with some gently rolling hills. Pace of play was great, but snack bar was closed and restaurant not open yet prior to our tee time.

First time back at the Palms Course in a few years. The course was in good shape but the greens were a little lumpy and long. They rolled better than they look. They pace of play seemed slow but we finished in 4 hours, which is okay for a popular resort course like the Marriott on a weekend.

The price is way too high in my opinion for this time of year. Pre-Covid prices were about $25 with this type of heat but our round was $111 at 114 degrees. The course used to provide free fruit and mango sented ice towels as well for your $25, but now it's just you and the heat.

Aside from the price hike, the course is beautiful. I shot 41-42-83 which is nothing special but the course was very playable and still visually stunning.

-1 after 4 holes, not so luck on the back 9, not the courses fault! I’d recommend to any golfer !

Love playing here! My favorite Palm Springs Course! Summer greens...tough to make finesse putts for birdies. Still had lots of fun and enjoyed the scenery!

Pretty good shape for the hot summer. Greens a little bumpy but that’s to be expected. Maybe a little hi $ for mid summer

Good course, weather was too hot to play. Got ten holes in

Had a great hotdeal thru golfnow for today. A bit hot but love the game. Had to call golfnow to assist in booking it. Both Hotdeal were not available and the lady that assist me said she would personally call the course if they can get it. So glad she did. Paid $46 online. If you can put up with the heat, go for it. Bring plenty of water. Cart guys were friedly and also gave me extra water. Don't forget to tip. Goes a long way. Cart girl was leaving at noon and said she done for the day. Played with another gentleman and flew by the course in 2 1/2 hrs. Thank you golfnow for assisting. Had a Blast. Keep the customer service like this and why would you book itanywhere else. Very professional and even called back to confirm it was good. Be Bless. 🫡😇
