About

Desert Springs Resort boasts two championship courses designed by Ted Robinson, the Palms and the Valley. The golf courses are known for their beautiful setting, offering unrivaled views of the Santa Rosa Mountains and the Coachella Valley. The Valley Course is considered the less challenging of the two, but both offer a stunning landscape covered with swaying palms and blue lagoons. The course features player-friendly fairways that beginners will enjoy, but there are also a fair amount of challenges. Like on the Palms Course, there is plenty of water. Between the two golf courses, more than 35 acres of water features come into play in the form of man-made lakes and streams. In addition to the two courses, Desert Springs also offers an 18-hole putting course, which offers all the same challenges as the other courses including bunkers, water hazards, and undulating fairways.

Great Day of Golf

Really like this course. Very fair with some challenging water holes. The greens were not in the best condition. Quite bumpy.

Good Layout & Picturesque

This course has a nice layout, but tired. The greens were slow and very little sand in the traps, along with some bare spots around the greens. Considering the price, it wasn’t a good value. But since we’re from New Hampshire and hadn’t played in 5 months, it was fun.

The pace of play was very good, we played 18 in 3:40, which I thought was very good considering it was at the JW Narriott resort

Great adventure!

We had a great time, but a bit of an adventure with unexpected pouring rain storm and thunder!

Lasted about 20 minutes and had no problem finishing the round!

Great Course

I had not played the course in several years, but it is still in pristine condition and beautiful. I am a very average golfer, so the moderate difficulty is perfect for me. We had a great time!
