Valley at Marriott's Desert Springs Resort

Greens in terror shape, extremely bumpy. Staff not overly friendly. Like we were doing them a favor to play. Simply questions were responded to with attitude. Bunkers need to be flated out. Way to steep especially near greens. Fairways were blotchy. This we not be a top choice for me if I came again.

Nice course layout, but terrible greens and bunkers. Obviously they figure that the tee sheet is full, so why spend money on the greens, etc.

This course is always in great shape and enjoyable to play.

Played in 4 hours which is good for resort course. Good condition for winter grasses.

I have been curious to play this course for years. Having many experiences at this resort when I was a child. Needless to say I was not impressed, a serious lack of amenities, rough around the edges and no vibe.

Beautiful course in decline. Greens in terrible shape. Cannot beat the natural beauty of water features, but totally disappointing.compared to two years ago when I remember it as velvet.

Valley course used to be one of our favorites. I was very disappointed to find the greens were in poor shape and the bunkers were a disgrace. When you couple that with a ridiculously overpriceed green fee, I'm sorry to say I won't be back!

The course was not very busy but the pace of play was not great. Some singles or couples sandwiched in between some really slow foursomes. The course conditions were average (turf in some bunkers, sand was inconsistent, fairways in decent to good shape), but several of the greens were really in poor condition. The staff was great so that’s a positive aspect. I paid the discount rate but feel like that was too much for the condition and the quality of other courses in the area.

What a beautiful course. Remarkably hilly for Palm Desert. Thanks for a great day.

The course layout was a lot of fun, and the staff was great, but the greens were completely unacceptable for the price paid. Grass was spotty and the roll on the green was not true, which I think is critical for an enjoyable round of golf. If you do decide to play, I would suggest setting a rule of a 2-putt maximum, since the greens will not reward well-struck putts. I play away on 25+ courses a year and these are the worst greens I have played on. Played an $18 round of golf today and the greens would be the envy of the Valley course. Save your money and go elsewhere. I cannot overemphasize how bad the greens were!

A good day as a Hot Deal, but wouldnt want to pay full price. Several greens had bare areas, and the fairways were generally thin. Grass growing in some bunkers, and minimal sand. Very nice layout, though, and a good but fair challenge from the blue tees.

Great course and the conditions were almost perfect. Staff were fantastic. They really looked after me.

This course is overpriced especially given poor condition of the greens.

Georgius course, some challenging holes. Course was empty yesterday. Played in 3 1/2 hours. Great hot deal, but otherwise expensive to play.
