JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

Great afternoon of golf.. Good layout with excellent conditions and perfect weather . Bargain compared with some of the other area courses. There is enough challenge to be interesting without being overwhelming. Fairways are reasonable. Not as much of a target course as some in Scottsdale. Very ebjoyable.

Very nice course, but VERY overpriced and poorly managed for that price. Many of the traps we not prepped....only raked by prior players, not by the course. Golf cart ran out of electric midway. GPS was well below standard.

3.5 hours as a 3some was tremendous. Many of the numerous bunkers are aiming bunkers. Playing correct tees is a must. Bunker sand depends on if close to green. Don't hit off the dark green, especially onto the pebbles.

Would play there again if given the chance.

Maybe it was my time to get through a quick round of golf (3 1/2 hrs) without having to wait on somebody plumb-bobbing every putt or waiting to attempt a 300 yard approach shot to the green when they can’t even get past the forward tees on their drive. Finally! Out of five courses in five days, I saved the best for last! This course is absolutely gorgeous with flawless greens. By mid-afternoon, the bunkers looked like they had never been played in - smooth as silk and deceptively firm. I was in Nirvana.

Versus the Faldo course, the Palmer course is tighter and a little annoying but overall a great place. Somewhat pricey this time of year

The Course Is In Fantastic Shape, Pristine For February. Greens where True and Slick.... 11-12 on The Stemp. Great layout and Fun To Play. Avoid the Bunkers and Very Generous Fairways. Service Was Bogey- Double Bogey. They Forgot That I Was Waiting On The Range. Sent me off 40 Minutes Late and played the last 2 Holes In The Dark. VERY UNHAPPY About That. It’s A Very Pricey Green Fee, UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE PRICE....!!!!

Played the Palmer course and it was in great condition. Fun layout and the pace of play was perfect - never waited once for the group ahead of us and weren’t pushed by the group behind us.

Course was in great condition. Played in 4.5 hours so kind of slow. Greens were in excellent shape but price/value was pretty low, over $300!

A perfect afternoon on a very nice course. We finished at sunset with lots of doves and rabbits on the greens.
