JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

It’s a nice layout and pretty fair condition. The price seemed reasonable. I definitely feel like after playing it. I could score a lot lower takes some course knowledge.

Nice interesting golf course with no two holes that look alike. Fairways and greens were in fair condition. Disappointing was the bottom of the sand traps which were wet or very hard. The sand was very inconsistent. A fair value and worth playing.

As a single, playing partners didn’t show up. Starter claimed group in front wouldn’t play with a single. Group in front said that was untrue. Stuck waiting behind the group as a single. Such a bummer because it is a solid course. Cannot recommend to others.

Little bumpy on Green’s they were punched recently like to have that info before I purchased my round but overall satisfying day, especially for the money

Good deal great shape for summer time. Lots of bunkers, could use more sand in them.

The course was in great shape from Tee box to Green. Greens were the same speed the whole 18 and not some being fast or some slow like courses can be sometimes. They are a difficult read sometimes but that’s the fun challenge. This course makes you play smart and if you do you can shoot good scores here. I hit a PR the first time I played! Highly recommend

Everything nice except for lack of sand in the bunkers.

Entire course is punched. No mention of greens or fairways being punched when they charge you $100 to play this course. If you like putting balls on the beach, the greens here have a similar feel. Bunkers are actually the same consistency as concrete. This could be a beautiful course, shame it’s in such terrible shape.

For a desert course it provides a nice variety of hole designs. The staff were great. We played at a time that few do in Phoenix this time of year so there wasn’t any pace of play issues. The tee boxes, rough, and greens were in great shape. On the front nine there were a number of spots on the fairways that had issues, dry or dead grass. I could see that the fairways were being worked on/aireated or something, I presume in an attempt to rectify the problem. Numerous times I chose to move my ball a number of yards away to find a decent patch of grass to hit off of. But overall, for the GolfNow price I paid it was well worth it.

Fairways are beat up and hard. Sand traps are more like gravel pits.

Great layout. Grass in fairways struggling but greens good. Totally enjoyable and priced right for Scottsdale.

Best greens I've played all year in AZ. Course was in incredible shape, little muddy in spots, but other than that it was pure! Bunkers we're the first bunkers I've hit out of in the last 3 months that weren't rocks. Definitely coming back to try Faldo! Palmer was very target golf. Lot of short holes that require iron off the tee, but super fun! 9/10

Our GolfPass deal made this an excellent course to play for the money. The layout had excellent variety for a desert course. The greens and tees were in excellent condition. The fairways, mostly on the front nine, had multiple spots that were not in good condition. You could tell the greenskeeper was working on it but there were multiple times where I wished I was playing from the rough instead of the fairway.
