Played here many times very nice, but this time they had 2 tournaments out and the pace was ridiculous so I quit after 10, still hoping to recoup some of my $180.00 to play, which is ridiculous.

Pace was very slow. No marshal to move the field

Service was poor and ignored customers. Won’t return to this course.

Course was not in very good shape and fairways had a lot of bad grass and tee boxes were really dry.

Considering time of year and Valley was closed for reseeding Palms was only option.

Too expensive for poor course conditions and they should offer discount pricing during this time of year.

Poor

Course was on poor condition. Weeds growing on tee boxes and bunkers. Looks like they’re delaying or postponing needed maintenance prior to oversees shut down. Cashier was stuffy maybe because I didn’t book directly??? Guy spiffing up clubs at the end was the nicest off all people I encountered.

Beautiful Rolling Course

Very picturesque course, starter was friendly but no Marshall as it was a slower afternoon round. Course in great condition but not as player friendly as the bio implies due to the undulations on most fairways and greens. Overall, very aesthetic course with nice grass range.

Marriott desert springs

Solid course greens a bit hard to read correctly. But that’s probably me. Tees in good shape. Good driving range offering see. A bit pricy but it is a resort course. But it’s still hard to pay3x more than I pay green fees at home

Good but could easily be better!!!

Layout & fairways were great for early October but sand traps & fairway bunkers were in bad shape with a ton of weeds covering 10-40% of the bunkers. Very little sand & very hard.

Challenging But Fun

Though the course is challenging but fun. The undulating fairways mean your are hitting 2nd shot either below or above ankles. Keep the ball in the center of the fairway and you will take the many water and sand traps out the game. Hole 17 is brutal especially with the firm green surface. I was able to hit 14 fairways allowing for great scores.
