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.

Marvellous Marriott
Great course and the conditions were almost perfect. Staff were fantastic. They really looked after me.
Value for Price
This course is overpriced especially given poor condition of the greens.
Great Course
Georgius course, some challenging holes. Course was empty yesterday. Played in 3 1/2 hours. Great hot deal, but otherwise expensive to play.
Fun resort course
First time playing the Valley course and I picked up a solo spot on special through Tee Off. Range was a little small and packed so the practice area is just okay. Had a 12:30 Monday tee time and no one in front of us and finished the round in 4 hours. Lots of undulation but overall a fun course and generous fairways. I would play it again if there was an another deal on Tee Off.
Fantastic course
Course could not be in better shape. Greens were tough but true....staff super friendly and helpful. Food options could be better but that's another subject.
Too Punitive
This is a well maintained course, and well priced for the area, but not very forgiving or pleasurable for vacation golf. It’s almost impossible to find a flat lie, too many blind shots, and too often a great drive is not rewarded because of the hilliness of the fairways. There are also an inordinate number of traps around many of the greens. It’s not awful but, when I hit, say, 11 of 14 fairways but still find myself with a downhill, uphill, or sidehill, approach shot on the majority it feels too gimmicky. I kind of expect that in certain parts of the country but generally not desert. Nice staff, good condition, nice greens.
Three hour round!
My son and I played at 1 PM and I was concerned we might not get the round in due to darkness. We were finished before 4 PM. Very few people on the course, so we were able to play as quickly as we wanted to. It is in good shape, some interesting holes, highly recommended.
Not like it usually is
I’ve been coming for over 30 years. Always has been my favorite due to how great the conditions are. I played the valley course. Greens were not good at alll super slow and bumpy. Lots of dead grass areas that this course usually does not have. Bummed it’s gotten to this. Played eagle falls today. Fairways and greens were outstanding so it’s not a weather deal.
Disappointing
This course is over priced, they over book so wait times for each hole are extensive. There was no starter or marshal out to keep things moving, very disappointed.
