Challenging course.

Nice course, but was pretty slow for an early am tee time.

I loved everything about this course.

I played in June and the rate was very good for the type of course experience that it offers. I’m sure that the rate jumps dramatically during the months of good weather. I would love to play this course when it’s not so hot, just not sure if I can afford it 😀.

Excellent course

Coachella Valley is filled with really good courses that are in great shape. The Palm course is added to our list of places to revisit!

Every part of our experience was top notch, and the course conditions were excellent despite the 115° temperature. The greens were especially notable for their smooth roll and relatively good speed despite the hot season.

The only reason that I only gave 4 stars for the value is that we’ve played several courses in similar condition that cost almost half to play, but this Marriott layout is a definite thumbs-up!

They don’t care if you are there!!!

I know it’s summer. But the staff could care less if you are there. We were not hotel guests and were treated like we didn’t belong.

So sad. As this used to be the course to play out in the area. Gone down hill.

A classic course

The course was in great shape- I've played it before but not this time of year. It was not at all busy and the pace was quick.

Play again.

Have played many Marriott based courses. Has some dry patches. Greens true. T boxes / traps need some work. Overall great day and would highly recommend.

Bad Greens

This course is part of the famous JW Marriott and you would expect a better condition course for the money. The greens were terribly inconsistent and bumpy. We only saw the beverage cart one time in our 4 hours and the snack shack was closed at the turn.

This course has great features

This course was challenging, with a lot of hills, slopes, bunkers and water as obstacles. Wide open tee boxes, with a greatly maintained fairways and rough. The greens were true, and well maintained.
