JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

Course was in great condition.

Pace of play was excellent. Tee times were spaced out to eliminate any waiting time.

Will definitely be back.

Only complaint was cart GPS was not entirely accurate regarding distance to pin. On a few holes it was 5-7 yards short of actual (confirmed with rangefinder).

It was fun playing on this course. It is challenging and full of opportunities too. The course was great condition despite the hot weather. Will do it again.

Really nice place. Very friendly staff. Course was in excellent shape. It was somewhat challenging but not too much for vacation golf.

The multitude of sand traps and their positioning make this course difficult for higher handicap or short hitters. ThereI are sometimes no entry to the green other than flying the sand traps.

Great course for mid to low handicaps.

Hrear course with matching tough greens.

The course in great shape with new grass..some small repair areas.

The staff was very professional and courteous.

Starter John was very helpful and pleasant. Great job John!!

Shouldn't have to wait till a tournament to have soft sand around the greens I understand fairway sands are to be hard but it's ridiculous The amount of sand that is in the sand traps around the greens no issue with having sand traps just the amount of sand in the trap

This course is nice. It's not one of the nicer public courses, but it's still fun. Only two items that we had an issue with, was 1) no cart girl after 2:30pm...in BUSY season, which makes no sense since our tee time was 1:50pm. And 2) pace of play was not enforced. There was one slow group that was causing us to wait about 4 to 5 minutes between EACH SHOT. The response from the club house was that we were still under expected pace. However, the whole course was moving faster than normal pace except for this group, so having them play faster would have meant more enjoyment for everybody.

Nice layout greens and fairways very good.

Bunkers buy the greens were the worst I have ever

played in. I can't believe they were that bad

Lots and lots of sand. Fairways and greens very well defended by sand. Plenty of room in fairways but errant shots likely to go in sand and potentially into desert scrub.lots of sand!

Greens very fast and subtle .

Staff very efficient and friendly. Expensive round $265.

Sucks you have to pay to park (if free the staff failed to communicate this...)

I live in the area so I play golf at different courses. This is my first time to play here. The course is not in good enough condition for the price they are charging. I do feel it be worth that rate if the bunkers had sand , if the greens were in better shape, if there wasn’t dead grass around the greens. Everyone was friendly and it has the potential to be a great course.
