JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

The course is very nice, but there is not ranger to keep things moving. I had. great time, but the pace was super slow. Had a 2:00 start time but showed up early. As they were not busy, the starter let me tee off at 1:25 - a very nice gesture. The course is truly beautiful and the greens nice and consistent.

Everything was good except the conditions were not nearly as good as the other four locations we played in the area. Also there was nobody in the bag drop area when we arrived. Not a major issue for me but some others kept waiting and they didn’t appear during the wait

I loved playing a round at Desert Springs Palm. The course was beautiful and laid out as a challenge but with accommodating landing areas and true greens. Delightful staff and stunning scenery made this a most enjoyable round!

The golf course is absolutely great. However, the pace was very slow, I couldn’t finish 18 holes, it got dark, I only played 16 holes.

Other than that, everything was beautiful, the staff very friendly.

Played at 1 pm in less than four hours which was great. Greens and fairways not in good shape yet.

Fairways, greens, bunkers all in poor condition. Not up to our expectations of a Marriott property.

Front 2.5 hours, only got 15 holes in!

No Marshall to keep up pace of play!

Staff, golf cart, driving range, practice green all top notch. Many very nice holes. Fairways not as good as could be; many patchy brown spots. No on course marshall. We were flying at a 3.5 hour round until #12, the foursome in front was unbearably slow to the point two of them left in disgust. The remaining two kept looking for lost balls, all stood around on the green, didn't rake bunkers and just plain lacked any courtesy. Hard to fault the course but if there was a marshal at least a complaint could be made in a timely fashion. Other than these two yahoos the rest of the day was pretty good.

This course was gorgeous. Everyone working at the course was friendly, and the golf carts were well equipped.

Overpriced considering the poor condition of the fairways

Nice layout, fairways not in great condition, greens fast and tough but not in as good condition as neighbouring courses. No on course marshals— we came to a roadblock at #15, a VERY slow group holding everyone up

This is the course you see from the hotel. Well maintained, free range, nice practice green, frequent drink cart visits, and very challenging due to water.

"Excellent course, but compared to the Palm Course, the Valley Course has a lot of brown grass on the fairways that has not greened up from the reseeding in the Fall. As a result, you may have to pick up your ball and move it to green grass area around the dead brown grass areas if your ball falls into it. Greens were in good shape and so were the tee's. Pace of play excellent.

The course itself is very nice, unfortunately the greens weren’t up to the standard that you would expect for the price. Overall a fun course to play though!
