JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

Played the Faldo course, greens rolled true, I do not think I've played a course with this many bunkers. It was awesome! I'll be back to play the Palmer course soon and compare!

Greens had been punched like 2 weeks ago and were in horrible shape. Great course otherwise I play here regularly

Course had recently been aerated, making it less than pristine. The greens were extremely rough and bouncy, with seeding grooves, making it near impossible to putt well. Some fairways were in good shape, whereas others were in transition. Tee boxes were fair, and sand traps near greens were full; noting fairway hazards were filled with sand and pebbles, making it more of a hazard than it should be. Pace of play was good (less than 4 hours for our foursome). Still a good value if you can secure a discount rate.

Everything was great but the greens. They should've flattened out after plugging it.

We booked it on the spur of the moment..on the Golf now site you could not see the red aeration button. But what was more frustrating was no one said anything to us ..they just let us go..had to pay the same price as the Faldo and when I called the pro shop the gentleman was very indifferent

Faldo did a great job with this course. It plays long and there are lots of mounds, etc., but I really enjoyed my round there. Very fair and playable layout. VERY generous fairways start to finish. There are lots of bunkers, but they have real sand unlike most other Phoenix courses and you have to play smart to avoid them.

Of course it is crazy expensive in the winter, but in the summer time you can play for around $50.

Always loving playing the Faldo Course, got some mud ball here and there on some fairway but nothing major. It's was a pretty windy day, on some holes it's was blowing 2 to 3 clubs more. All and all amazing day!!

Greens was rolling true didn't break much on some holes, was a lite sand on them. Bunkers was well kept. Beverage cart came by twice!!

We typically play this course in under 4 hours. Yesterday, with a temperature of 110F at the end of the round, it took 4 hours and 38 minutes due to the slow foursome in front of us. There obviously was not a Marshall on the course to move the foursome along and we did not see a beverage cart on the back 9.
