JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

This course was very fun to play and beautiful. Green speed was slow probably due to the late over-seeding this year. Played as a three-some group with a tee time at 12:40pm, the pace of play is better than I expected, finished in less than 4 hours with a foursome group ahead of us.

Good layout. Would like to see a forward set of tees added for shorter hitters off the tee.

Greens are still a bit bumpy - maybe transitioning for the winter???

Better value to be had unless you get a discount off the posted rates in my opinion or you just don’t want to walk away from the hotel.

Course was in great shape, fabulous pace of play and the staff were very accommodating

Marriott, do you read these reviews? This course isn’t cheap but the conditions are. The greens are splotchy, bumpy and virtually unplayable. Why would anyone pay your price to play here if they weren’t a captive audience in the hotel? When will you fix this course up?

I have played this course quite a few times. Last December they said they had some problems with the greens but they are doing better. One year later and greens are awful but they charge premium prices. It's time for a serious change. They are furry and bumpy. PLEASE! I love this property. We can't play it anymore. Get a greens keeper or something asap!

Love both the courses at Desert springs. They differ from most courses in the valley as there is grass from tee to green. There are no desert waste areas. Still plenty of hazards, several “don’t go there” areas and enough variety to make it very interesting.

Valley course stretch of holes 4-8 are interesting and beautiful. Similarly in the back, 14,16 and 18 are scenic. 18 is one of my favorite holes, requiring 2 good shots for a chance at birdie.

Definitely worth playing.

Played the Valley course. It was in great shape. Pave of play was good and the staff was very friendly.

I had golfers hitting into us while on putting green. I have never seen groups of player so stacked. They must have been sending groups every five minutes.

They have NO forward or Red tee boxes, I asked Staff Members and was told it is because of Covid?

Although just coming out of their overseed, the course was in great shape. Was pleasantly surprised that it was not cart path only and had a great day of golf.

Greens were a little slow but again not in bad shape.

Overall a wonderful round.

It was all good and the course was very well maintained.
