JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

I was disappointed that upon check in , I was informed that it was cart path only… this should be noted or at least told to the customer. I don’t have an issue walking a little more but it should be communicated. You don’t know until the cart shuts down entering the fairway on the first hole… disappointing to say the least

Nice layout, greens, tees and fairways were excellent. Sand traps were unplayable. Haven’t been touched since the last rain a week and a half prior, essentially ground under repair. A club of this fine caliber should be all over those traps. Understandably, they are about to overseed, so the traps will likely be handled during the shutdown, but an attempt should have been made to make the traps playable.

I love the Faldo course. Great conditions except for the traps. Seeing as though the course is known for its multitude of traps the poorer conditioning comes into play more often. Still a great experience.

First time out. Course was in great shape and a decent track for a resort routing. Pace of play was atrocious. Held up by several threesomes in front of us. Took 2.5 hours just to play the front nine and not a ranger in sight to get things moving. Completely unacceptable.

The tee boxes, fairways and greens are all in great shape. However, the sand traps need additional sand. They were hard pan and not really fair play.

The course was in great shape, very challenging, trying to stay out of the bunkers. Making the red decisions on this course is the key to success. Great round.

Course was beautiful! Even saw 3 Javelina, and a healthy coyote running around the course!!

I enjoy this course over palmer. Makes you think to where your hitting your shot. Not just a blast and pray.

The t boxes fit any handicap. This is my go to course for consistent fairways and greens. Definitely a challenge for most of the courses in the valley. Wish the had a nice low twilight rate. having the price so high especially when it a wide open T sheet to me sounds counter-intuitive. staff and starter are great.

I really enjoyed playing here. The staff was friendly and helpful. The course was in amazing condition and I practically had the place to myself.

Thirty bucks for a burger and a soda was a bit much…but it’s a resort in Scottsdale so I figured par for the course…🤣

Next time I’ll bring more water though!🥵

This course never disappoints , in fact it is one of my favorites in the valley . The course is well maintained . The greens are a little slower than I like , but still firm and true . Bunker maintenance is currently in progress , so stay out of them . The staff is awesome … a big shoot out to the cart girl .. she was incredible . I would highly recommend this course for a relaxing day on the links

For $100, I was very happy with course conditions even if higher than other Scottsdale courses. I am trying to play high end courses while prices are reduced for summer time. Layout of Palmer course was great and a lot of fun. Keep it in the fairway and course is getable. Greens are a bit slow but roll true. My only issue is that staff, other than a great starter and beverage cart attendee, could not be bothered by having me as a walk on single. Pro shop guy gave impression he was bored and I was interrupting his sceeen time on phone. Restaurant couldn't care less that I needed ice in my Yetii. Minor details but certainly reduce the value I felt I got. Overall was a great round.

I played with my son and it was an absolute blast! The pro shop was helpful, cart people were great, beverage cart was fantastic with everything from hot dogs to gatorade or anything else you could want alcohol wise. Everyone was helpful and very welcoming!
