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.

Wish we played palms
We chose to play the valley course on this trip as opposed to the Palms course. The staff was very helpful in person, but those I spoke to on the phone were abrupt. Even though a four hour round seems good and acceptable, We had to wait at every hole.. Beyond that the course and grounds are beautiful, the greens were slow. We will play the other course next time. Marriott doesn’t seem to give you much of a break on greens fees though even if you’re staying on there. So think about that because there are lots of options in the valley.
This course was excellent
The course was in very good shape and the staff was excellent. We played the round in 3.15 hours which was really enjoyable.
Nice layout
Very nice layout. Overseeding two weeks earlier and so course was in great shape but as expected greens slow. Didn’t quite finish 18 but had an 1240 tee time. Pace of play was 4 hours 20 min. Would like play it again.
Overrated, Outdated Old School Course
From the surly staff, to the driving range being closed with no notice ahead of time, this course was disappointing. A small footprint of land, loud streets close by to too many holes, no amenities, this course is overpriced and not worth the price. I’ll never be back.
too many tee times
too many tee times created 10 min wait times at tee boxes. i understand the need to generate revenue, but this day was unacceptable to a player who plays at least 50 rounds a year around the country,
wanted my money back for poor management.
Fantastic course!
We golfed 5 times while we were in Palm Springs and this course was the best overall for value and conditions. The pace of play was a bit slow but that was the fault of the idiots in front of us. I would love to golf the course again.
Smooth like butta
Definitely enjoyed the round! Staff in clubhouse very friendly!!
