JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

A fun layout (Palms Course)… the course, with the exception of the greens, is is very good shape. Greens were thin (still coming in.. assuming they need warmer weather 😎). I would play again, but only if the greens were much better.

Pro shop person would not check us in for our round until 1hour before the tee time .. since we pre paid via TeeOff.com/Golf now !! I have never encountered this “rule” at any course. The guy might have had a bad day. The starter (Tim) was awesome… he move us to an earlier tee time and let us hit balls before we were officially checked in! At least one employee was customer service focused.

Great course and the conditions were almost perfect. Staff were fantastic. They really looked after me.

Not much grass in the fairways.

Not enough sand in the bunkers.

Greens need some work.

This course is overpriced especially given poor condition of the greens.

Georgius course, some challenging holes. Course was empty yesterday. Played in 3 1/2 hours. Great hot deal, but otherwise expensive to play.

The starter at this course was fantastic and was probably a big part of the reason the pace of play was so good. He should teach a course on how to be a starter, he was excellent . I was paired with a twosome, we teed at 12 and we’re finished at 3:30. The course was in good shape, greens were OK , a good speed for resort golf.

I will definitely play here again

Worst course I all of the Coachella Valley and perhaps the worst service ever experienced in 30+ years of playing golf in the desert!

They have ZERO golf etiquette and could care less about your safety after they take your money! No course marshals and allow people to wear tee shirts and jeans. So not worth the price they charge and staff is lazy as well. Plenty of other much better options and no need to expose yourself to their lack of service. 5 hour plus round, beginners playing from the blues and no one to tell them different. Saw someone get assaulted on the course, had his putter thrown by the bully from the group ahead of him and no security to assist the gentleman. Pathetic all around and a stay away from place. Lack of management and terrible staff. Nine golfers run this place and care about the pricey resort only!

This is one of my favorite courses to play. I gave an overall rating of 4 stars instead of 5, because we played Classic Club a day earlier, and they include a $25.00 food drink coupon per player and they gave us each a souvenir golf towel. Palms at Marriott does not give these little amenities and Palm at Marriott was more expensive than Classic Club.

First time playing the Valley course and I picked up a solo spot on special through Tee Off. Range was a little small and packed so the practice area is just okay. Had a 12:30 Monday tee time and no one in front of us and finished the round in 4 hours. Lots of undulation but overall a fun course and generous fairways. I would play it again if there was an another deal on Tee Off.

Course could not be in better shape. Greens were tough but true....staff super friendly and helpful. Food options could be better but that's another subject.
