JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

Not lady friendly and the greens were in horrible condition.

Just a great course. Some challenging holes but overall, just great fun

The course was in nice shape but they need to work on the bunkers. There was very little to no sand in the bunkers and clumps of grass in some of them.

The course was very well maintained. The fairways' condition is better than most of the courses I have ever played. The greens were pretty fast but not a lot of undulations to frustrate you too much if you misread.
There are lots of holes with water in play and they will play tricks with your mental games. But if you play it a bit more conservatively, you should be okay. Since the greens were fast, there is a good chance that your ball will roll off the back and into the water.
I will definitely be back again. :)

We played this course starting early (7:45 on a Sunday), and was a bit disappointed at the pace of play (we finished in 4:15) considering we teed off fairly early. Imagine later in the day was even worse. Course from tee to greens were in great shape. Greens, however, were a bit bumpy and could have been in better shape. Otherwise, had a great time playing there.

The Valley course was in great shape!
Sadly we didn’t see the cart girl until the 15th hole. That’s not standard fir this course.

Beautiful layout, fairways in great condition, but the bunkers were awful. Hard pack dirt/sand, and the greens had just been sanded so putting was really bad too. We’ll check it out again next year because it wouldn’t take much to put the course back in tip top condition.
