JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

Course is in great shape. Greens are still recovering but overall it was a great round.

Course was fun to play for design. Greens would less undulating than expected, and had been punched 10 days ago. Green speed and control was bad as a result. Much less sand than the faldo course. Temperature was hot (110 degrees) so expected a fast round, but ended up behind slow groups on both front and back resulting in a 4:15 round starting at 9:00.

Overnight watering combined with 112 temps made for an oppressive front 9. The back 9 seemed to be less oppressive. Course was otherwise in good shape for this time of year. Bunkers only had a thin layer of sand on otherwise hard dirt underneath.

Got a hot deal for $45 but totally worth fully price. Nice elevation changes, challenging traps. Course was in amazing condition. Saw lots of wild life. If I’m ever in the area again I’ll be back

COURSE WAS IS GREAT SHAPE, PACE OF PLAY WAS DECENT FOR MOST OF THE ROUND,

Great track! Challenging layout and great conditions overall. My only complaint was that the greens were running very very very slow yesterday. The cart GPS was nice and the green analysis definitely helped. I’d recommend playing here and will come back again.
