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.

Beautiful course!
Perfect condition! From the fairways to the ruff. I enjoyed my round.
Rough condition
They appear to be under-staffed. Don’t expect the level of service you get at other courses at this price. The greens were not over-seeded just sanded. Rough condition.
My new favorite course
Beautiful course, not a patch of brown anywhere. Greens were very fast but would hold an approach shot. Groomed perfectly.
Great Value
Fantastic spot. Always great conditions and both courses worth playing.
Look forward to next round at Desert Springs.
Good place for a fight
Destination for degenerates. The group behind us hit at us several times, we spoke to them several times but their aggression just increased. Clearly just a bunch of dirtbags visiting from San Bernardino who we’re just out on the course looking for fights. Easily the worst experience I’ve had golfing.
Poor golf course management
No practice range, although advertised with range balls. No starter. The inserts in the holes, caused the balls to bounce out. Very poorly managed,
Drizzling Beauty
08:30 hours tee time presented drizzle in the early morning but parting clouds revealed a beautiful property on JW Marriott grounds. Despite having a late arrival, the guy at the pro-shop and the stater were very accommodating and got us out by 09:15 hours. We were paired with Doug and Ryan who were just a blast to be around all 18 holes. Congratulations again on the coming nuptials Ryan and thanks again for your service Doug! I'm a double digit handicap, so this course was fair but challenging. Fairways were great, rough wasn't that rough, but the greens can use some attention. Due to my lack of control, the angulations can play a role in where your ball settles off the tee. Overall, it was a great day of golf with very good company.
Course in good shape, my knee gave out on 4.
Was a lovely day, little slow but not terrible, til I blew out my knee. Hope I can get a rain check for the 2 rounds I paid for, would love to come and play when I can! Only reason gave the low value was 4 hours of driving to play 3 holes and eat a cheeseburger (not courses fault!)
Beautiful Course.
Nice course. Great shape although the greens looked a bit off but rolled nicely. Sadly there are no amenities, on or off course, the staff gave the impression that the customers are a nuisance. If you play here, bring your own everything. Other courses in the area have beverage carts, water bottles in the cart, and food/beverage options at the turn, so obviously the lack of customer service just represents the outlook of management.
