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.

Greens not what they used to be
Thought the greens were very sparse, someone said they switched to different grass, compared to other years. For the price I thought it would be better
Greens need work
Had a very enjoyable round and overall enjoyed the round and experience. Was disappointed with greens however, most were not in the condition I would expect for this course.
Conditions
Hello
Greens are not in the best of shape
Fairways are thin for this time of year
I’m thinking they did not want to spend $$ for overseeding
In poor condition
I have played four courses i the immediate area. This course was not only the most expensive of those four but also in the worst condition. The fairways are sketchy, as if they did to oversee. You don't roll your putts; the ball bounces across the greens.
Hgh price; low condition. It's a bad combination.
Nice track
Other than the greens being slow the course has a nice layout pace of play was excellent.
Beautiful course and fun
This course was very fun to play and beautiful. Green speed was slow probably due to the late over-seeding this year. Played as a three-some group with a tee time at 12:40pm, the pace of play is better than I expected, finished in less than 4 hours with a foursome group ahead of us.
Great golf experience
Course was in great shape, fabulous pace of play and the staff were very accommodating
A favorite course in the valley
Love both the courses at Desert springs. They differ from most courses in the valley as there is grass from tee to green. There are no desert waste areas. Still plenty of hazards, several “don’t go there” areas and enough variety to make it very interesting.
Valley course stretch of holes 4-8 are interesting and beautiful. Similarly in the back, 14,16 and 18 are scenic. 18 is one of my favorite holes, requiring 2 good shots for a chance at birdie.
Definitely worth playing.
Course is in excellent shape!
Played the Valley course. It was in great shape. Pave of play was good and the staff was very friendly.
Horrible Pace of play
I had golfers hitting into us while on putting green. I have never seen groups of player so stacked. They must have been sending groups every five minutes.
They have NO forward or Red tee boxes, I asked Staff Members and was told it is because of Covid?
