Valley at Marriott's Desert Springs Resort
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.

Avoid unless money is no object
For $155 this was a rip off. Condition of the course was poor. No ranger. No help from the pro shop when our cart died around the 11th hole.
About as bad an experience I ever had on a golf course. I will never forget this adventure. I'm avoiding this course with extreme prejudice going forward.
Save your money. Play elsewhere.
Avoid if at all possible...
Just got off the course 12/28/2022. Given the conditions of the course, I should have paid $40 for 18 holes. The fairways were in TERRIBLE condition. To add insutl to injury, our cart died somewhere around the 11th hole and nobody was answering the phone in the pro shop after 12 tries... Luckily a cart girl was willing to help us and get someone from the garage to send over a working golf cart.
My buddy took me to his private club for a round of golf last week and I was just trying to repay the favor. I was totally embarrassed by the condition of that Valley course.
Don’t waste your money
We went to the bag drop and waited about 10 minutes with a few other folks with no one in site. I went down to unplug a cart in the cart barn and bring it up. I was scolded by the bag person that I should have read a sign behind me which know one else read to call to get someone up. Not a great way to start and a snarky “merry Xmas” from him as we drove off.
The fairways are burned out on the majority of the holes.
What looks beautiful from a distant isn’t up close.
Save your $$ this course at this time was disappointing along with customer service subpar.
Great Course - disappointing condition
The course looks like they are not watering. Many areas exist where the grass is dry and brown.
Great course
Afternoon tee time and beat the sunset for $50 for 18 holes. Ladies there is a bathroom on the back 9 but the front 9, go before you tee off on 1…
Valley course is nice, easy and good place to play
Valley course is nice, easy and good place to play. Greens were just a little slow but not bad and the grass was tight lies obviously because the winter time. We were done in under four hours not a lot of people playing this time of the year probably
Dried Out
The fairways were dried out & needed some attention. Greens were good. Bathrooms needed some attention as well.
The grass was dead on the valley course
Not worth what I paid, hard to hit it off the fairways. Grass was thin and dead. No marshal, very slow.
Golf
This course is good condition I like to play at this course I do play every year I come to stay at jwmarriott
Thanks
Fore!
Sumptuous landscaping, beautiful layout but fairway conditions not at par with asking price.
Would never play here again. Cart and bags got soaked by sprinkler when parked at driving range. Starter never said a single word to us at beginning of round. Pace of play was terrible -- about 5 hours! Course was so compressed that on MANY occasions balls got hit into us from other fairways -- apparently nobody knows that you yell "Fore" in that case.
