JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

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.

This is a well maintained course, and well priced for the area, but not very forgiving or pleasurable for vacation golf. It’s almost impossible to find a flat lie, too many blind shots, and too often a great drive is not rewarded because of the hilliness of the fairways. There are also an inordinate number of traps around many of the greens. It’s not awful but, when I hit, say, 11 of 14 fairways but still find myself with a downhill, uphill, or sidehill, approach shot on the majority it feels too gimmicky. I kind of expect that in certain parts of the country but generally not desert. Nice staff, good condition, nice greens.

Attractive course, somewhat difficult for me. Well maintained.

Starter moved me to the Valley course, maki g room for a collegiate practice round on the Palms. I appreciated their mindfulness of our remaining daylight hours, but the Valley course seemed underwhelming, even from the back tees. The timeshare hecklers were an added bonus.

My son and I played at 1 PM and I was concerned we might not get the round in due to darkness. We were finished before 4 PM. Very few people on the course, so we were able to play as quickly as we wanted to. It is in good shape, some interesting holes, highly recommended.

I’ve been coming for over 30 years. Always has been my favorite due to how great the conditions are. I played the valley course. Greens were not good at alll super slow and bumpy. Lots of dead grass areas that this course usually does not have. Bummed it’s gotten to this. Played eagle falls today. Fairways and greens were outstanding so it’s not a weather deal.

Conditions were very good. Outside of a few Canadian Geese on a couple of the fairways making a mess..

This course is over priced, they over book so wait times for each hole are extensive. There was no starter or marshal out to keep things moving, very disappointed.

1: your app ( GolfNow) has the wrong address for the course. I had to call the pro shop to get directions over the phone after your link to Maps with the wrong address sent me on a wild goose chase.

2: it was cart path only. 😣 NOT noted in your App

Course conditions were not good.

The valley course was dry and in bad shape (unmaintained aerated/mixed brown fairways, dry rough, grass growing in the sand traps). Super disappointed. Felt like a scam for $130 for a twilight time.

Meanwhile the Palm course looked INCREDIBLE and looked like freaking Augusta. But, couldn’t play it because it was closed with like 20 maintenance workers maintaining it.
