JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

Course was in great shape. Staff very helpful. Played round in under 2 hours.

Course is beautiful but difficult. However, the pace of play and overall experience was affected by a nasty foursome in front of us. Ther were loud and discourteous and played numerous balls per person, greatly slowing the pace of play. And when one our shots came within 50 yards of them because of an unintended slice, instead of gracefully accepting our apologies, they intentionally hit our ball into the water.

Until we passed them by skipping two holes, we were stuck behind them and had to suffer through their antics.

Course was in great condition. Tee’d off at 6:30am on a Friday. No one in front or behind us. Wonderful experience!

Nice challenging and fun course. Not too long, but made more difficult by the typical Ted Robinson rolling hills and valleys along with several blind tee shots. If you miss the proper landing area you're gonna have a tough lie. The greens are in excellent condition, but greenside bunkers are very deep with steep walls, which is difficult enough, but there's basically no sand in them, rather hard pan sandy dirt. Several lakes, but water is not really in play all that often. The hotel and resort grounds are spectacular.

My wife and I enjoyed the Valley Course. With the very hot weather, the greens were a little slow, but they were consistent, hard to ask for more in over 100 degree weather. The course was challenging and a great value for the money. Definitely will play it again during our stay

WE have played this course a few times and always happy to return. I love the layout, the course is in great shape, especially considering over 100 degree weather. I would recommend this course and we will play it again.

Fantastic, everybody should go to this golf course

Course was in nice shape considering the hot weather. Greens were fair and in good shape and fairways were nice.

The biggest gripe was lack of water on the course. Playing in 40C weather and no water in the golf cart and WARM water in the water machines on the course. Not very good at all. The $16.00 caesar wrap at the snack shack was a bit extreme as well. Didn't really like the loud music and the guy yelling into the speakers at the hotel pool either but not sure what you can do about that. Starter and driving range guys were friendly. Glad I paid a low green fee or would have been more disappointed.

Very disappointed with the condition of the fairways and bunkers. I have played this course numerous times over the years although it had been a few years. The fairways were all clumpy grass and there wasn't a good bunker on the course. All were wet and hardpacked with little to no sand in them. It is summer and hot but I played two other courses this week with great fairway grass.

pace of play was unacceptable. Had to skip a hole to get ahead of two groups that were holding everyone up. No marshal to speed things along. Dead fish in the water stinking to high heaven. Always liked this course but not too sure now.

This course has its fair share of hills and water hazards throughout your 18 holes also number 9 and number 10 are back to back par fives which is a cool combo. I’ll play here again.
