JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

Nice course, fun to play and the view is beautiful.

Beautiful course in good condition. Wide open fairways. Tricky target greens over water and sloped surrounds. Staff was casually indifferent. Links to Google maps from GN and the club were wrong. And delayed my arrival by 35 minutes. Pro shop guy blamed it on Google. Hard to find golf pro shop once you arrive.

Fairways were patchy with many divots….maybe they had a tournament beforehand.

Both of these courses leave a lot to be desired. The Palms is marginally better but both are overpriced for the condition they are in. Going downhill for years. Plenty of other places to play in the area for better golf at same price. People were very nice.

Perfect weather and extremely good conditions! We had a great breakfast followed by an amazing round of golf in the sun. Seeing flamingos from our tee box was spectacular!

Generally good conditions. But if playing after 1pm in late January marshalls should monitor twosomes jumping ahead, or others cutting in to pkay 27 holes.

I love this course, it's one of my favorites in the desert. Unfortunately the management at the courses appears to be unconcerned about pace of play. After the fourth hole, my wife and I waited at least 5 minutes, sometimes considerably more on each tee until we completed our round. At the 12th tee we discovered a cause for the delay. Remarkably there was a sixsome two groups ahead of us. I have played golf for more than 62 years and never experienced a sixsome on a golf course. We called the pro shop to alert them to the issue. Long story short, they sent a cart person to investigate and he ended up doing nothing to address the situation. So I will not return to one of my favorite courses in the desert. What a shame.

Sparse grass on the fairways, bumpy greens that don’t roll smooth, and no sand in the bunkers. Might be one of the best layouts in the area but would not recommend to anyone who likes good Golf to play there.

Course in good shape. Greens good, new carts with auto brake, did not have club cleaning bucket on range

The Marriott Palm Springs resort features 2 18-hole courses, Palm and Valley. I played the valley course. The condition overall was quite good. The layout is interesting and attractive. There are plenty of challenges but overall this is not a terribly hard course. I would play here again. The Palm is the difficult of the 2 courses and quite a bit more expensive. The Marriott resort is massive and world class. Multiple restaurants, huge hotel, many pools, etc. Top notch!

Fairways were in awful condition with virtually no grass.

Traps were inconsistent and mostly low in sand. Greens also were not in very good condition.

Played here other years and conditions were good but definitely not this year
