JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

Greens were still a bit rough after aerification. Tees and fairways were fine.

A fivesome held up play a little early in morning. The starter said it must have been a threesome and twosome that joined up on 1. No Marshall out on course to stop that.

Fun course and layout. Some great rolling fairways that give your drives an added boost. Very few buildings on the Valley course so you don’t feel like your in the middle of a resort.

Have played here many times in the past and it is always a pleasure. Two Great courses and a great facility.

Good place to play in the summertime. Course is well maintained fairways, bunkers & greens

This course was extremely fun. It did warm up quite a bit to about 105-110 by the last 6 holes so that was a little tough. The pace of play was slower for the first 9 holes; however it did open up on the last 6 holes.

We would definitely play this again and also try the Palms course

Greens were still a little bumpy from being punched but overall in good condition, especially for this time of year.

The greens were fast but I guess normal for this time of year. They need to provide water and for the carts when its 105 and humidity is 40 . They do say they are a Resort Course so service should be same regardless of season.

We have all played in punched greens, but I have literally never seen greens this bad. I am not saying that for shock value, but not only were the greens punched, they had not been cut is quit some time. Extremely slow, crazy bouncy with some greens having thick patches of a different grass growing all over them.

There was no mention of this at booking, check-in or by the starter.
